About Dr. Hönle AG
Dr. Hönle AG is a listed manufacturer of industrial UV technology headquartered in Gilching near Munich. The company develops, manufactures and distributes UV, LED-UV, IR/hot-air, inert-UV and excimer systems as well as industrial adhesives, UV and IR lamps, reflectors, electronic power supplies and UV measurement technology. The portfolio is divided into three business units: Curing (curing and drying of inks, varnishes and coatings, also under inert conditions), Adhesive Systems (bonding, potting, CIPG as well as dispensing systems with partner manufacturers) and Disinfection (chemical-free UV-C disinfection of surfaces, liquids and gases, including ultrapure water). The systems are used, among other things, in printing and coating, flooring production, the automotive and electronics industries, medical technology, food processing and semiconductor manufacturing. An in-house application laboratory offers pre-series tests, complemented by loaner devices for in-house testing. Sales are handled via subsidiaries in China, Korea, France, the UK, Austria, Malta and the USA, a sales office in Italy, and a worldwide partner network.

Technologies & Applications
UV and LED-UV curing systems
Curing of inks, varnishes and coatings, air-cooled or air/water-cooled, optionally with inerting, e.g. pinning and digital lacquer embossing on floor coverings.
IR/hot-air dryers
Drying for coating and printing applications as a complement to UV curing.
Industrial adhesive systems
UV-curing and biocompatible adhesives for bonding, potting and CIPG, among other things in medical technology and electronics.
UV-C disinfection systems
Chemical-free disinfection of surfaces, liquids and gases, including ultrapure water.
UV measurement technology, solar simulation
Measuring and testing systems as well as solar simulation systems, e.g. for the automotive industry.
