About Jouhsen-bündgens
Jouhsen-bündgens Maschinenbau GmbH is a specialist in machines for processing wire and thin tubing with diameters from 0.02 to 16 mm. The company develops and manufactures straightening and cutting machines (rotary straightening), point grinding systems, cold heading machines as well as filling systems for infusion solutions from 20 to 1,000 ml. Based on in-house engineering capacity, a high level of vertical integration including in-house parts production and group-own control system manufacturing, custom production solutions are created, which can also be integrated into automated concepts with conveying and handling systems. Applications include medical technology (cannulas, lancets, catheters, atraumatic needles), pharmaceutical filling, the wire and cable industry, the electronics and electrical industry, and e-mobility. The headquarters with production is located in Stolberg, Germany; a US branch in Atlanta serves the North American market. Services include teleservice, maintenance, overhaul/retrofit, spare parts supply, commissioning and training.
