About us
Drink & Schlössers, based in Krefeld on the Lower Rhine, is active across the entire field of roller technology. The third-generation family business manufactures technical rollers, cylinders and drums as well as rotationally symmetric components up to 4,200 mm diameter with a length of 10,000 mm, or up to 2,400 mm diameter with a maximum length of 18,000 mm. The product portfolio includes cooling rollers, heating rollers, process rollers, calender rollers, dryer rollers and central cylinders for the flexographic printing industry, which the company has been producing in welded steel construction since the 1970s. In addition, it holds an approval for pressure vessel construction. The value chain comprises CNC flame cutting, rolling (rounding), welding (E, TIG, MAG, UP), CNC turning and milling, stone grinding and dynamic balancing. Various surface treatments such as chrome plating, nickel plating, thermal spray coating, hardening, rubber covering and hardcoat anodizing are also offered. The company manufactures for national and international customers, among others from the paper, food, pharmaceutical, plastics, chemical and energy industries.
