Landau in der Pfalz (Wollmesheimer Höhe 2)New on Amplifa
The Company
WICKERT Maschinenbau GmbH develops and manufactures high-precision hydraulic presses and press systems for industries such as the plastics and rubber industry, composites, automotive, electronics, medical technology and heat treatment. The product range includes forming and hardening presses, large-format press systems, fixture hardening systems as well as services for the production of molded parts, including PE/PP semi-finished sheets on fully automated systems. Mechanical manufacturing includes, among other things, a deep-hole drilling and milling center with rotary table for heating plates and a fully automatic, NC-controlled boring-and-milling machine with traveling column for large workpieces. At the company's headquarters in Landau in der Pfalz, 8,395.87 m² of manufacturing floor space and five assembly halls with a total of 2,942.23 m² are available. The family-owned company, founded in 1901, supplies systems worldwide, including to Mexico, and offers service, maintenance, retrofit, spare parts and remote maintenance – also for third-party products.
