The function of an entire machine or system can depend on the inconspicuous hose component. Only the right hose ensures that a medium is transported from A to B reliably, permanently, unaltered, at the right temperature and efficiently.
The requirement to convey or extract solid, liquid or gaseous substances arises for many companies in the industrial environment: in the processing of wood, metal, textiles or paper as well as in the production of microchips or electronic assemblies, in the production of machines for the wood, metal, textile or paper industry - or in fully automatic coffee machines.
In fact, our hoses are everywhere!
Plant and mechanical engineering
Our hoses and connection solutions have been securing essential functions in important machines and systems for many decades. We are also the first hose manufacturer to offer digital hose systems with integrated lifecycle tracking functions(AMPIUS®) that can be read out via an app.
Agriculture
We are a long-standing partner of the agricultural industry. Whether for spreading seeds, transporting grain, feeding animals or in agricultural machinery: Due to the (often seasonal) use under continuous load, particularly high demands are placed on hoses and connection solutions. Our PU spiral hoses in particular score highly here due to their high abrasion resistance - and therefore longer service life compared to PVC hoses.
Automotive
The automotive industry is one of the most demanding markets with high quality standards worldwide. Our products and fastening solutions are used wherever cars are built, repaired or maintained. Our customers include the automotive industry, its suppliers and companies from the motorsport sector. Our flexible hose system solutions are used, for example, in turbocharger systems, electric charging stations, lumbar supports and testing systems.
Printing and paper
Paper, cardboard or paperboard: Our hoses and connection systems are used in the manufacture of paper-producing and paper-processing machines, by manufacturers of printing machines and by users of these machines.
These can be printing companies, machine manufacturers or paper mills.
Chemicals
We support the chemical and pharmaceutical industries in the supply of raw materials and the handling of gases and vapours, which pose a great challenge to hoses. We offer an almost limitless selection of hoses and connection systems for such extreme requirements. Our customers include companies that produce and process chemicals, companies that build machinery, equipment and systems for the chemical industry and companies in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors.
Energy technology
With our products and connection solutions, we support the environmentally friendly and economical utilisation of energy in all its facets. Our products and connection solutions are used in the production or maintenance of or in energy generation plants (waste incineration plants, wind turbines) or energy converters, as well as in the field of energy recovery.
Disposal and cleaning technology
Whether municipal technology, leaf vacuum cleaners, grass mowers or cleaning systems: our hoses and connection solutions are used by companies that build cleaning technology systems and equipment as well as by companies that use suction or blowing technology or take on (asbestos) disposal and industrial cleaning tasks. We also offer customised solutions for use in sweepers and suction vehicles.
Vehicle construction
Our hoses and connection solutions are used by manufacturers of commercial vehicles (and their superstructures) in the commercial, agricultural and official sectors, industrial trucks and two-wheeled vehicles. You can find our solutions for the automotive industry under Automotive.
Conveying, lifting and feeding technology
Whether piece goods or bulk goods, whether vertical or ergonomic - when something needs to be moved from A to B, our hoses and connection solutions are used. They can be found in machines for conveying, lifting and feeding technology, in vacuum lifters, cranes or vibratory bowl feeders.
Research and development
New technologies inspire us! We therefore work closely with research institutes, universities and engineering service providers and participate in the development of new technologies.
At the same time, we utilise such collaborations to establish ourselves as an attractive development partner and employer.
Semiconductor industry
The supply chains for semiconductors and microchips are complex. The global market is dominated by Asian countries such as Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and China. We are increasingly positioning ourselves as a local supplier. Products such as high-purity hose lines are used, for example, by well-known manufacturers of lithography equipment to produce microchips.
Industry
The requirement to convey or extract solid, liquid or gaseous substances arises for many companies in the industrial environment. Our customised hoses and connection solutions are used in numerous industries: in the processing of wood, metal, textiles or paper as well as in the manufacture of electronic assemblies, in the production of machines for the wood, metal, textile or paper industry or in recycling.
Wood
Whether in sawmills or planing mills, in the production or transport of wood pellets, at furniture manufacturers or in the wood processing industry: our products and connection solutions support the manufacture of woodworking machines, the processing or further processing of wood or the extraction of wood. One application example is exhaust air ducting in CNC machines.
Plastics
The processing of plastics is a multi-layered process that results in finished moulded parts, semi-finished products, fibres or films. During processing, granulates or powders are usually transported and distributed over long distances. Companies that build machines for the plastics industry or process plastics can rely on our products and solutions.
Painting technology
In the painting industry, entire painting lines are equipped with our hoses and connection solutions for paint supply - even in explosion-protected systems.
Companies that build systems and equipment for painting and paint spraying technology particularly appreciate the high quality and chemical resistance of our electrically conductive hoses, which are either antistatic or combined, and are also available in a high-voltage-resistant version.
Ventilation and air-conditioning technology
For many years, trade businesses that install and maintain air conditioning and ventilation technology as well as companies that build machines, devices and systems that extract or move air have relied on our flexible solutions.
Our hoses are also used in engine test benches to extract harmful gases, vapours and dust.
Aerospace
We are one of the most important suppliers to the aerospace industry thanks to our expertise in dealing with a wide range of qualification requirements and our high level of development expertise. In addition to hoses and hose connections, our product portfolio also includes perfectly fitting moulded parts for applications such as air distribution, noise reduction or support for ECU or bleed air systems in aircraft. There are hoses from us in almost every Airbus aircraft.
However, our hoses are not only used in the air, but also on the ground, e.g. when aeroplanes have to be supplied with power in a waiting position or the contents of the vacuum toilets are extracted using our robust ground support equipment hoses.
Food and pharmaceuticals
In the food industry, hoses are used to transport and convey a variety of liquid or solid media. Only hose systems that comply with strict regulations and guidelines are authorised to transport coffee, sugar or even milk powder from A to B. Companies that build machinery and systems for the food industry, process food or transport food rely on our certified food-safe hoses and connection solutions.
Medical technology
Plastics have become an integral part of medical technology and are suitable for many medical products. Medical tubing is needed for taking blood as well as for respiration or for applying an infusion. In addition to the use of high-quality biocompatible materials, high regulatory and procedural requirements must be met. Our extruded medical tubing manufactured in the clean room as well as matching injection moulded parts and connectors for standard medical applications make an important contribution to safe and efficient medical care.
Metal and toolmaking
The tool industry is mainly part of the metal industry. It describes the manufacture of hand tools, machine tools or tools for metalworking, among other things.
We support processors of metallic raw materials and metallic semi-finished tools.
These can be foundries, smelting works or other metal processing companies.
Surface technology
Surfaces can be processed using a wide variety of methods and thus optimised or modified to meet a specific requirement.
Such requirements can be: mechanical protection, barrier function, interface interaction, electrical function or optical function.
Our hoses and connection solutions support manufacturers and users of surface finishing machines.
Robotics and automation
