Founded as a supplier to the textile industry, MEM Maschinenbau GmbH from Ahaus is now closed in special machinery, systems and steel construction. With the purchase of an ACURA 65 MARATHON in 2021, the operation led by Managing Director Hans-Jürgen Marx took the plunge into production automation - and it is paying off today.

"We at WVG Alu tec from Bad Arolsen have known HEDELIUS for many years and are already something of a family. And where do you trust each other more than within a family?" That's why Gruhs is proud of the "latest achievement", as he puts it: the TILTENTA 7-3200 5-axis machining centre with swivelling spindle and two integrated NC rotary tables.

"After work, the ACURA 65 EL and the BMO Platinum continue to work for us." Jan Inboden and his colleagues are delighted with the reliable technology from HEDELIUS. ERO GmbH from Simmern in Hunsrück is a prime example of a family business that has grown healthily.

Just over 20 years ago, master mechanical engineer Thomas Claaßen took the plunge into self-employment. Today, the Claaßen Group from Scharrel in the Oldenburger Münsterland region employs 250 people in four companies.

The SOLLICH KG is the worldwide market leader for chocolate processing machines. The family business from Bad Salzuflen in East Westphalia faced a major challenge when it came to modernising its chipping machinery.

In HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik, the company found a partner who could make this possible.

The Trissler & Kielkopf GmbH is located in Reutlingen, at the "gateway to the Swabian Alb". Since the early 1990s, Peter and Christel Dorau have been at the helm of the contract manufacturing company, which will soon be celebrating its 100th anniversary. The Swabian medium-sized company has been relying on HEDELIUS machining centres for 22 years.

The town of Georgsmarienhütte is named after the local steel company, which grew out of the local mining industry.

KG manufactures a broad range of parts, machines, steel structures and devices on behalf of customers.

At WERNERT-PUMPEN GmbH, a specialist in the pumping of demanding liquids, the average batch size is between 1 and 100. In mechanical production, a TILTENTA 7-3200 from HEDELIUS with a large contact surface, mobile work area partition, standby magazine and zero-point clamping system creates the best conditions for flexible and productive machining of pump parts of different sizes, numbers and materials.
