About Wammes Machinery
Wammes Machinery LW GmbH, headquartered in Wiebelsheim (Hunsrück), is a mechanical engineering company that develops, manufactures and sells systems for industrial air duct and sheet metal processing. The portfolio comprises spiral seam tube forming machines (e.g. TF 1401 Ultra and TF 1600 Ultra for diameters from 80 to 1,600 mm), segment bend machines, duct lines for rectangular air ducts (ODIN, MCL Ultra, CL Ultra, ECO), systems for sound attenuator panels, plasma cutting systems such as the PC 1500 as well as laser cutting solutions and coil handling/blanking lines. In addition, the company offers special machine construction, in-house designs, consulting, workflow simulation, production planning and product training. Since 2008, machine production in Germany has been carried out in cooperation with specialist companies in the Hunsrück region. Customers come from the HVAC industry, mechanical and plant engineering, sheet metal processing, the chimney sector, façade construction, dry construction as well as from plumbing and tinsmithing businesses. More than 1,500 machines sold attest to its international activity in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
