About Danner + Knosp
Danner + Knosp Maschinenbau GmbH is a machinery and plant engineering company based in Offenburg. The company implements complex technical solutions from the initial idea through to commissioning. Its service portfolio includes development and design using 3D CAD (Autodesk Inventor), FEM analyses and standards-compliant manufacturing drawings as well as feasibility studies. In the field of automation technology, it builds systems for robotics, drive technology and machine vision, including laser marking systems, assembly automation, welding fixtures and handling equipment as well as plants for precast concrete production and glass processing. Another pillar is sensor- and camera-based measuring and control systems such as mechanical distance measuring devices, levellers, camera systems and pay machines for camping and motorhome pitches. In addition, the company manufactures custom mechanical devices and fixtures, among others for high-pressure cleaning, pump test benches, fire departments, nuclear power plants and the pharmaceutical industry. Alongside development, Danner + Knosp procures components, assembles and commissions machines and plants.
