About WINKELMANN
Hans E. Winkelmann GmbH is a family-owned company founded in 1964, headquartered in Rödermark near Frankfurt am Main, and develops, manufactures and produces integrable, series-ready and modular system solutions for automation technology. Its technological focus areas are pneumatic solutions, mechatronic system integrations, and industrial water and media distribution systems. The range of services extends from technology consulting, engineering and design through prototyping (including 3D printing and rapid prototyping) to assembly manufacturing, functional testing and series production. Products manufactured include valve controls and valve islands, cylinder assemblies, control cabinets, pressure manifolds, assembled hoses and water distribution systems, also made from high-performance plastics for corrosive media, with stainless steel as an additional material focus. Customers are OEMs from mechanical and plant engineering, medical and dental technology, the semiconductor industry, the packaging industry, assembly and joining technology, as well as the automotive and printing machinery industries. With a production floor area of 1,424 m² at its headquarters in Rödermark, the company delivers more than 70,000 solutions per year and is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015.
