About WANZKE
WANZKE is a brand of ASA Automation GmbH based in Mainhausen, Hesse. Since 1979, the company has been building roller feeds and feed straightening machines and today supplies complete production stamping presses based on hydraulic servo presses with 4-chamber cylinder technology. The systems cover the manufacturing areas of stamping, fine blanking, cold and hot forging, deep drawing, embossing and bending; in addition, unwind and rewind coil reels (A-GM coil reels), transfer presses and automation technology are offered. More than 2,000 customers worldwide produce workpieces with this technology, among others for the automotive, household appliance, packaging, lighting, electrical/battery, HVAC and security industries – from stamped and bent parts to deep-drawn housings and cold-extruded copper bolts for batteries. The offering is complemented by new developments (R&D) and the integral fine blanking system developed by WANZKE.
