Family-owned expertise since 1983
Tank GmbH from Walsrode in northern Germany has been developing and manufacturing customized special-purpose machinery for industrial production tasks since 1983. As a special-purpose machinery manufacturer with over 40 years of experience and more than 1,500 machines delivered to date, the company plans, designs and implements customer-specific solutions in three key phases: clarification of requirements, development of the solution, and realization of the special-purpose machine. Since 2004, processes have been standardized and the office works paperlessly, complemented by proactive risk management from the very first project day. A special focus is on low-maintenance machine solutions that lead to higher system availability and lower maintenance costs for customers. Projects include, among others, pneumatic riveting machines for the aerospace industry as well as chassis number stamping machines and assembly and testing stations for the commercial vehicle sector. The owner-managed company is located at Werner-von-Siemens-Straße 4 in 29664 Walsrode.
