About HOFMANN
HOFMANN GmbH is a German manufacturer of machines and systems for road markings headquartered in Rellingen near Hamburg. The family-owned company, founded in 1952, produces hand-guided road marking machines (H17, H18-2, H33-4), self-propelled machines and marking trucks for intensive industrial use. In addition, it manufactures distance-dependent dosing systems such as AMAKOS® and CONEX®, the line-skip and documentation electronics MALCON4/4E, and accessories such as material transfer systems, dryers and bead spreaders. The application systems cover all common marking materials: cold paints, 2K cold plastic, sprayable 2K cold plastic, thermoplastic and sprayable thermoplastic, including processes such as MultiDotLine® extrusion, Spotflex® air impulse marking and Airless/Airspray spraying. Fields of application include road, airport, construction site and parking lot markings. Through a partner network on all five continents, HOFMANN supplies and supports its systems worldwide, including maintenance, service and individual custom solutions.
