The Chiron Werke were founded on June 18, 1921, by Gottfried Schnell and Otto Staebler under the name Fabriken feinmechanischer Apparate und Chirurger Instrumente GmbH. Six months later, the company received its current name, Chiron. In Greek mythology, this refers to a demigod with the shape of a centaur, who was considered to have great dexterity. This name was chosen to challenge the then-existing company Aesculapius, because in Greek mythology, Chiron is the teacher of Asclepius. In 1940, the Chiron Works moved to the site on Talstrasse, where they remain today. During the Second World War, Chiron increasingly became an armaments company, producing aircraft stampings for Junkers and Messerschmitt AG. The Chiron Group SE has been part of the Hoberg & Driesch Group since 1957. It consists of the Chiron plants based in Tuttlingen and Neuhausen ob Eck, as well as its branch locations in France, Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Russia, India, China, and the USA.
