HEBMÜLLER GMBH

Germany

Since being founded, the owner-managed company was a partner to the automotive industry before the strategy was changed in 2018 and the decision was made to concentrate on customers from other branches of industry. Right from the very beginning, the delivery range comprised most of the same products as it does today, including grey cast iron piston rings, PTFE structural parts and plastic sieves. Elastomer moulded parts followed at the end of the 1980s. Nowadays, the products we focus on are sieves, screens and filter elements made from plastic using the injection moulding method. Either plastic or wire mesh is placed in the die and overmoulded with plastic. Seals and ready-made seal sets for the automotive spare parts market complete the range. Our objective is to provide customers with the best service and create added value through the very highest quality of customer support. The loyalty of our customers is the consequence and result of our quality.
