About Waldraff Technologies
Waldraff Technologies is a special machine and tool manufacturer specializing in the friction industry, with locations in Leverkusen and Eschweiler. The company manufactures custom machines and automation solutions, including coating machines in roller and spray coating technology, tumble belt and through-feed shot blasting systems (Tumble and Airblast), infrared and contact scorching systems as well as robotics and handling systems. In addition, the company offers turnkey factory solutions for brake pad manufacturing – from planning and design through to production, all from a single source. In toolmaking, press tools are manufactured using 2D and 3D design, among other things for passenger car and truck brake pads: highly precise and wear-resistant on a modern machine park, including demagnetization as well as assembly and installation of heating elements. Deliveries are made worldwide from two locations; international contacts serve the markets of Italy, the United Kingdom and Romania.
