About IWC Engineering
IWC Engineering GmbH is a mechanical engineering company based in Chemnitz with the business fields of high-pressure and special hydraulics as well as internal high-pressure forming (IHU). The company plans, designs and manufactures custom hydraulic systems, test benches and control blocks including control technology, assembly, commissioning and service. In the field of IHU process technology, IWC develops processes and tools and manufactures prototypes and small series of formed parts on its own forming centers (UFZ, F-UFZ, P-UFZ) with closing forces of 5,000 to over 10,000 kN; processed materials include, among others, aluminum extrusion profiles. Further offerings include workshop power units for pressures up to 3,000 bar, industrial electrical engineering and control technology, services in medical technology as well as digital maintenance software. Reference customers include Schuler AG, Fraunhofer IWU and Waldaschaff Automotive. The company headquarters are located at Annaberger Straße 73 in Chemnitz, with manufacturing at the delivery address Lothringer Straße 11.
