About us<\/h2>\n

Weidmann Maschinenbau was established in 1943 as a supplier to the me-chanical engineering industry. 
It began manufacturing its own mechanical press products in 1950. 
Since that time, it has constantly developed and supplemented its range of presses.
These days, we offer a full range of mechanical presses up to a pressure rating of 5 tonnes. 
Our highly-trained staff and well-equipped machine shop also enable us to manufacture customised presses to meet your own specific requirements.     
Currently, there are far in excess of 6000 Weidmann presses in daily use in more than 30 different countries.     
\n
\n You too can take advantage of our expertise.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n
