Hüffermann Transportsysteme GmbH, with its production plant in Neustadt (Dosse) in the Brandenburg region of Germany, is a specialist manufacturer of container transport trailers, vehicle bodies and special vehicles for international container standards and load securing systems. All of these components, which make Hüffermann Transportsysteme GmbH what it is, have one thing in coming – quality. That’s why, at Hüffermann, from construction drawing to steel construction through the final assembly, the trailers are 100% Made in Germany. Therefore, it is very important for us to meet the requirements and criteria of the quality management standard DIN ISO 9001, according to which Hüffermann is certified, and to optimise them continuously.

For (load-bearing) steel components made of fine-grained steels to be welded without cracking, they have to be preheated. This is usually carried out manually, but with batch sizes of over 1,000 units – and due to a skilled worker shortage – an automated solution was the only option for Finsterle GmbH, a company located in Dürmentingen, Germany. As the metal construction company had already had positive experiences with manual welding machines from EWM, it only made sense to commission the Mündersbach-based manufacturer of welding solutions for the construction of a robot system as well.

The dredger buckets of earthmoving and mining machines have one job: to pick up and move large quantities of heavy rock and stone. It almost goes without saying that the materials used on these machines need to be incredibly wear-resistant and repairs are just part and parcel of the work involved. The UK-based MST Parts Group specialises in just that, manufacturing and repairing some of the world’s largest dredger buckets as an international market leader.

Vogelsang GmbH & Co. KG expanded its welding production line at its headquarters in Essen-Oldenburg with ten new EWM power sources, significantly reducing its post-weld work and increasing efficiency in its welding processes.
