About IMF GmbH
IMF GmbH (Innovative Mechanik und Fertigung), headquartered in Braunschweig, is a manufacturer of robust, vandalism-proof barrier systems and outdoor security technology. The portfolio includes electromechanical and electrohydraulic barriers, vertical pivot barriers with barrier booms made of aluminium extruded profile, crash barriers as vehicle access blockers with impact loads of up to 500 kN, breakthrough-resistant barriers, stainless steel sliding gates, hydraulic bollard systems as well as bollard posts and operator terminals. In addition, the company manufactures small and medium series such as hoppers, storage containers, sheet-metal housings and individual parts for gravimetric weighing and dosing systems as well as conveying equipment and feeding technology, especially in stainless steel for the food industry in Germany and Austria. The value chain ranges from design and manufacturing engineering via procurement, in-house production and prototype construction to final assembly, quality assurance, just-in-time delivery as well as service and maintenance. Further fields of activity are test rigs and special machinery including control technology for airports and the electrical engineering industry.
