About euroflex
The euroflex GmbH is a medium-sized family business in its 5th generation, headquartered in Schopfheim in the tri-border region of Germany, France and Switzerland. Originating from a coppersmith's workshop founded in 1915, the company today develops, plans, manufactures and installs conveyor technology as individual conveyor components, finally configured conveyor systems and turnkey conveying solutions. The portfolio comprises the product families EURO-flex (hinged chain conveyors), MB-flex (modular belt conveyors), GB-flex (belt conveyors with belt widths of 100 to 1,000 mm), SPIRAL-flex (spiral conveyors) as well as special conveyors and function units such as take-over, stopping, singulation, pushing, buffering and merging. The systems are based on a standardized modular construction kit in anodized aluminium or stainless steel and are manufactured by CNC machining from aluminium, stainless steel and plastics. Conveyor systems are delivered in accordance with the EU Machinery Directive with CE marking, alternatively with a declaration of incorporation or in accordance with ATEX directives. Key customer sectors are the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, chemical, paper and automotive industries as well as mechanical engineering; the entire value stream from development through design and manufacturing to assembly is bundled at one site.
