About Hoffmann GmbH Maschinenbau
Hoffmann GmbH Maschinenbau, headquartered in Bruchsal (Baden-Württemberg), has been developing and manufacturing machines and equipment for woodworking since 1990. The core product is the Hoffmann dovetail connector (Hoffmann-Schwalbe), a double-dovetail fastener for permanently joining workpiece parts and components; joining has become the company's core competency. The product portfolio includes routing machines (including MU-S, MU 3, MU 3 P), double miter saws, cleat-cut saws, drilling and assembly systems, and machining centers for wood processing – from manual table versions to large machining centers. In addition, the Bruchsal-based company develops, designs and builds custom machines as system solutions. The joining system is used, among other applications, in furniture and window construction, in doors and facades, in cabinetmaking and in industry. The company supplies customers worldwide through sales subsidiaries and representatives in several countries and provides information in six languages.
