Corporate culture
Ernst Blissenbach GmbH, headquartered in Remscheid, is a developer and manufacturer of pipe inner deburring systems (ID-Scarfing) for the production of high-frequency longitudinal-seam welded tubes. The portfolio includes internal weld peeling tools in mechanical and hydraulic versions, pull rod and return flow impeders, suspension and pipe pass-through systems, cutting ring cooling units, external cutting ring height adjusters as well as cutting rings, filters, ferrites and seam rollers. The company pursues an integrated approach: in addition to its own design and manufacturing, it performs commissioning at the customer's site as well as support in process solutions, requirements analyses and the adaptation of existing workflows. The partly patented tools are developed from the customer's needs perspective; alongside production, the company conducts research into materials and manufacturing technologies in cooperation with technical centers and universities. With the BLISSart® systems, precision steel tubes are produced for the automotive, furniture and leisure industries, medical technology and electromobility. Production takes place in Remscheid — technology 'Made in Germany'.

Materials and process engineering
Ferrite (impeder core material)
Ferrite rods and cores with the largest possible volume within the impeder cross-section increase efficiency and welding speed.
Steel (precision steel tubes)
Machining material of the pipe inner deburring systems for high-strength tube applications.
SAFE-COAT coating
Protective coating of the impeder protective tubes against material build-up in the welding zone.
