About I.W.A. GmbH
I.W.A. GmbH, based in Rietberg (North Rhine-Westphalia), is a mechanical engineering company specializing in lifting systems, conveyor technology and special machinery. The product portfolio comprises roller conveyors, belt and mini conveyor belts, chain conveyors with two to four chain strands, toothed belt conveyors, vertical conveyors in S and C versions up to 400 kg per unit, bucket elevators with bucket widths of 100 to 1,200 mm, modular belt and skid conveyors, electrified monorail systems (EMS), turntables with rotation angles up to 270°, lifting systems as well as the integration of robotics and cobots. In addition, the company offers engineering services, metal construction as well as service and maintenance of its systems. The systems are adapted to customer requirements, including food-grade versions and wear-resistant steel slide rails or plastic sliding profiles. Customer industries include the automotive, food and chemical industries, logistics, airport technology and battery technology, for which loading and unloading systems are manufactured. Project references include empty pallet magazines and gantry technology for Carl Macher as well as a test facility for the commissioning of luggage and containers at London Heathrow Airport.
