Professor Dr.-Ing. Dr. E. h. Fritz Klocke (born in 1950 in Vlotho) studied manufacturing engineering at the Technical University of Berlin. He was a research assistant there at the Institute for Machine Tools and Manufacturing Technology until 1981, and then as head engineer until 1984. He received his engineering doctorate in 1982. From 1984 until 1994 he worked in industry as a technical director. On January 1, 1995 he was called to the RWTH Aachen as Professor of Manufacturing Engineering Technology and has since then been the Chair of Manufacturing Technology, director of the WZL Laboratory for Machine Tools & Production Engineering at the RWTH Aachen, and head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT in Aachen. A doctorate of honoris causa "Dr. E. h." was bestowed upon Professor Klocke by the University of Hannover in 2006. Professor Klocke is a Fellow of the International Academy for Production Engineering CIRP and was the CIRP President from 2007 2008.
