About Höfelmeyer
Höfelmeyer Waagen GmbH is a family-run manufacturer of industrial weighing technology, product inspection systems and quality assurance software headquartered in Georgsmarienhütte near Osnabrück. The company produces bench, platform, overhead rail, mobile, IBC and vehicle scales as well as dynamic checkweighers (up to 500 weighings per minute), in-line scales, hygienic scales, metal detectors, X-ray inspection systems, labelling systems and graders. Manufacturing takes place at the headquarters as in-house production, predominantly in stainless steel, including welding, turning, milling and surface treatment; the company also develops its own software (IIoT solution IRIS Weighing Control, embedded software, machine learning). As a PTB-certified manufacturer under the German Measuring and Verification Regulations (Modules B & D), Höfelmeyer places scales requiring official verification directly on the market. The range of services includes commissioning, maintenance, cross-manufacturer repairs, verification and accredited calibration, remote service and rental equipment. The systems are used in food, beverage and pet food production, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemicals, logistics, plastics, recycling, metals and plant engineering/OEM.
