About Indunorm
Indunorm Hydraulik GmbH, based in Neukirchen-Vluyn, has been a specialist in high-pressure connection technology since 1969 and a system supplier of hydraulic hoses and fittings for spare-part requirements as well as small and medium-volume original equipment. On more than 1,500 m² of production space, the company assembles rubber, thermoplastic and PTFE hose lines on six semi-automated production lines for OEM customers in small and large series or as ready-to-install kits, including cleaning, embossing, crimping of fittings and pre-filling with oil. In addition, CNC-bent pipe lines made from seamless steel and stainless steel tube (6 to 42 mm) with connections such as cutting-ring, WalformPlus and 37° flaring are manufactured. Customers come from hydraulic service companies, technical distribution, machinery and plant engineering, construction and construction machinery technology as well as mobile hydraulics. The company belongs to the Würth Group and supplies throughout Europe with a fleet of over 200 sprinter vehicles, standard delivery within 1–2 working days.
