Modular factory equipment engineering for the defense industry and aerospace
We have been offering high-quality, modular aluminium profile technology since 1976. Our modular building kit system now includes over 4500 mutually compatible components for building flexible factory equipment such as work benches, material trolleys and maintenance stairways. A wide range of services, free online tools and 12 branches located throughout Germany make item the ideal partner for the aerospace defense industry.
Aluminium vs. steel in the defence industry
Companies operating in the defence industry need flexible, scalable, robust and reliable solutions for intralogistics and production. Although steel offers excellent stability, steel frames cannot be modified at a later point in time. Aluminium is much lighter, but still very strong, and aluminium profiles also ensure maximum flexibility. Screws instead of welds – thanks to our modular fasteners, you can extend constructions at any time or dismantle them and reuse the profiles for your next project.
All steps involved in connecting together aluminium profiles can be carried out by a single mechanic with no specialist training. This reduces dependencies, speeds up changeover processes and cuts costs.
