About FRIEDRICH Schwingtechnik
FRIEDRICH Schwingtechnik GmbH is a manufacturer of vibration motors and unbalance exciters. Founded in 1965 by Günter Friedrich as an engineering office for vibration technology in Düsseldorf, the company produces and sells two product lines: FRIEDRICH vibration motors and VIMARC® vibration motors, supplemented by FRIEDRICH unbalance exciters. The range includes standard motors, motors with split-flange covers, motors with special paint finishes, stainless steel motors, Atex motors, coupled motors and explosion-proof motors. The motor components have been manufactured automatically since 2011 in the company's own CNC manufacturing facility in Olsberg; quality assurance is carried out there with a 3-coordinate measuring machine. Bought-in parts and services are sourced predominantly from German, in part European, suppliers. The company also offers technical consulting, development, customer-specific custom solutions as well as spare parts and repair service for all FRIEDRICH and VIMARC® motors. The headquarters is in Haan; in Houston (Texas, USA), Vimarc Inc. manufactures and sells for the American market.
