About Hamacher Maschinenbau
Hamacher Maschinenbau GmbH, founded in 1949 as the company Hamacher, develops and manufactures customer-specific precision machines and systems including design, development, mechanics and electrics. The three business divisions special-purpose machines, wire-laying machines and timing belt molds form the core business; particular specialist expertise exists in the field of precision mechanics, including a special profile grinding machine for timing belt molds. The product range also includes centrifuges and jointing machines. Through the subsidiary Hotlineglass GmbH, founded in 2005, PVB or EVA films coated with heating wires for heatable vehicle windows as well as antenna wires integrated into laminated glass as a replacement for classic car antennas are produced. Customers are large companies, mainly in the Aachen region, from belt, glass and needle production as well as the automotive industry. Since 2009, Hotlineglass USA has also served the American market with a cooperation partner.
