About Hofmann
Hofmann Mess- und Auswuchttechnik GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Pfungstadt, develops, produces and assembles balancing machines and measuring technology for rotors, machines and systems. The product range includes universal balancing machines, production balancing lines for high-volume applications, high-speed balancing and overspeed test systems, portable balancing machines, active automatic balancing systems, grinding wheel balancing devices, spin test systems as well as vibration meters, vibration sensors and torque scales. In addition, the company offers contract balancing, in-situ field balancing, a certified testing service with accredited measurements, consulting, training, and service and technical support around the clock (24/7). Its proprietary Pulsar measurement software was awarded the Red Dot Design Award for Interface & User Experience in 2026. Customers include, among others, the aerospace industry, mechanical engineering and the turbomachinery sector (turbines, pumps). In addition to the Pfungstadt site, the group maintains locations in the USA (Lynchburg), Brazil (São Paulo), the United Kingdom (Coventry), Spain (Barcelona) and France (Paris) through the American Hofmann Corporation.
