The three young casting machine specialists, Peter Hofmann, Klaus Schmidt and Eckhard Scheer, together found Indutherm Erwärmungsanlagen GmbH to develop casting machines mainly for the jewellery industry. The company’s head offices are based at the home of the Hofmann family and the garages and former agricultural store rooms are converted into production workshops.
The three founders have a clear concept. As opposed to machines built by the majority of competitors, they develop all the main components themselves and produce them in-house – tailor-made to the application and the requirements of the target group. Above all, the development of proprietary induction generators – the core of each machine – secures a technological lead right from the start.
The range of machines on offer comprises three vacuum pressure casting machines (VC 200, 300 and 500) and a continuous casting machine (CC 420).
