About item
item Industrietechnik GmbH is an internationally active company headquartered in Solingen that has been developing industrial building kit systems since 1976. Based on a broad range of aluminum profiles and matching connecting elements, item develops and distributes components and systems for building machines, factory equipment, and plants. The product spectrum includes profile typology, fastening technology, machine cabins, cleanroom components, workstations, racks and transport trolleys, conveyor technology, robotics peripherals, linear technology, doors and flaps, lighting, panels, platforms, electrical and compressed air components, as well as solutions for Lean Production. In addition to product development, item offers engineering services via the item Engineeringtool (online configuration), CAD data for over 4,000 components, a Solution Center as a solutions database, webinars/training courses, and an online shop. Many additions to the product range arise from close collaboration with customers. The building kit principle is used worldwide in manual and automated production, intralogistics, machine and plant engineering, cleanroom and ESD applications.
