About WMB Ventilatoren
WMB Ventilatoren GmbH is a mechanical engineering company for fluid machinery based in Obersontheim in the district of Schwäbisch Hall, Baden-Württemberg. The company develops, designs, manufactures and assembles axial fans (low, medium and high pressure), radial fans including high-pressure radial fans, and headwind blowers for test benches – from design through manufacturing to final assembly and test run, all from a single source. Custom special fans for extreme requirements and exceptional installation situations are a focus of the portfolio. The products are used in industrial processes, in rail vehicles, in stairwells for smoke extraction in case of fire, in the pharmaceutical industry, and on test benches. International customers value the individual solutions and fast, flexible order processing. Founded in 1996 by Werner Finkbeiner as WMB Ventilatoren + Maschinenbau e.K., the company today operates as a GmbH with management by Werner and Manuel Finkbeiner.
