System supplier for foundry technology
Neuhof Gießerei- und Fördertechnik, based in Freudenberg (district of Siegen-Wittgenstein), is a family business in its second generation and a system supplier for foundries, steel mills, the building materials and plastics industries as well as environmental technology. Founded in 1987 by Berthof Neuhof, the company develops and manufactures pneumatic pressure vessel conveyors based on the dense-phase principle, piping systems with ceramic wear protection, sand reclamation and processing systems, sand mixers and moulding systems as well as coating (Schlichte) preparation systems. The portfolio is complemented by electronics, control and automation engineering based on Siemens, as well as service, installation, commissioning and custom special solutions from project engineering to final assembly. Customers include foundries and automotive manufacturers such as VW, BMW, Nemak, Rheinmetall Automotive and voestalpine. Supply relationships exist with Western and Eastern Europe, South America and Asia. In 2020, the modular coating plant MSA was launched on the market together with Hüttenes-Albertus.
