About Driesch Anlagentechnik
Driesch Anlagentechnik GmbH is a medium-sized, family-run company based in Menden in the Sauerland region, active in plant and special-purpose machinery engineering for surface technology since 1930. The company develops and manufactures turnkey surface treatment plants, including galvanic plants from anodizing to zinc lines, fully automated small-parts and centrifuge galvanizing plants, wire pickling plants in multi-tier design, and grinding burn testing systems for non-destructive testing of components. In addition, retrofit measures for existing plants, control and software solutions with PLC and host computer technology, transport and conveyor technology as well as maintenance and spare parts sales are offered. Value creation takes place with a high in-house production depth: project engineering, mechanical and electronic design, software development, mechanical manufacturing, steel construction/welding (certified welding specialist company) and assembly are all handled in-house. Customers come from industries such as electroplating, hot-dip galvanizing, the wire industry, automotive, mechanical engineering, aerospace as well as hydrogen production (electrolyzers). Since 2008 the site has been expanded several times, most recently with a production hall for steel construction (2021) and a renovated administration building (2023).
