About innoFlex
Since 1999, innoFlex FaltenbalgSysteme GmbH has been developing, designing and manufacturing flexible machine protection elements in Bielefeld. The product portfolio includes guideway covers, sliding guideway covers, folding bellows (accordion skirts), box and rectangular bellows, disc and rubber disc bellows, Polyflex and camera bellows, fabric bellows and compensators, as well as dip-molded parts and rubber injection and compression molded parts. In addition, the company distributes stainless steel fittings, flanges, pipes and couplings for piping, apparatus and vessel construction. Manufacturing covers all established bellows production processes: thermal bonding, welding and sewing of coated specialty fabrics, CNC-milled support frames, dip molding with PVC plastisol, and injection molding and compression molding of elastomers. Production ranges from one-off pieces to large-scale series, among others for mechanical and plant engineering, medical and electrical engineering, agricultural and construction machinery, shipbuilding, and the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Inquiries are typically answered within 48 hours with a concrete quotation.
