About IEF-Werner
IEF-Werner GmbH was founded in 1980 in Furtwangen in the Black Forest as a development and engineering office and today manufactures components, systems and customer applications for assembly and process automation. The product portfolio includes linear actuators with spindle, timing belt and direct drive, manual positioners, swing drives, rotary tables, servo presses, palletizers, transport systems, wheel measuring machines and turnkey special solutions up to fully automated production lines. Mechanical components are manufactured in-house from aluminium, steel, tool steel, stainless steel and grey cast iron GG 25; the company generally realizes critical components itself. The range of services extends from design, software development and control cabinet construction to assembly and commissioning as well as maintenance, training and remote maintenance worldwide. Industries served include automotive, medical and pharmaceutical technology, electronics, semiconductors and precision engineering.
