About Schwer Fittings
Schwer Fittings is a family-owned manufacturer of stainless steel tube fittings, fittings and valves headquartered in Denkingen in Baden-Württemberg. The product range includes compression fittings, clamp wedge-ring fittings, threaded fittings, ball valves, valves, tubes, hoses, quick-release couplings as well as welded and brazed fittings. Manufacturing takes place on modern CNC machines in European production facilities, primarily from stainless steel; every individual part is marked by laser engraving with an inspection or serial number and is therefore fully traceable. The products are used in fluid engineering, hydraulics/pneumatics, instrumentation, vacuum and sanitary engineering as well as in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries, environmental engineering, the automotive industry, shipbuilding and hydrogen technology. The group operates 16 subsidiaries in 16 countries plus two further sales offices in Germany and employs around 400 staff (2025). Customers are supported among other things with technical consulting, assembly training, assembly instructions and customised product and procurement solutions.
