Wedge Clamping Elements  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

With over 60,000 readily available products, Ganter is the Number One specialist in standard parts.
Handles, hinges, handwheels, clamp handles, knobs or clamping devices - all these are components which are needed virtually everywhere, in mechanical engineering as much as in laboratories, in plant equipment and in the transport sector. Components, many of which come from the Black Forest, directly off the high-rise shelves of the market leader: Otto Ganter GmbH & Co. KG.
Established in Furtwangen in 1894 as a small mechanical workshop, company founder Otto Ganter hit on the idea in 1912 to standardize operating elements - years before the German Industry Norm (DIN) came into being. An idea thriving and growing into a sustained model of success: today, the family-owned company in its fourth generation is present worldwide and keeps on growing. Over 400 people at the company‘s Black Forest headquarters permanently develop new elements, manufacture with ultimate precision and quality and ensure the fastest possible shipping. 85 percent of all orders leave our plant within 24 hours - a speed which sets standards. And with over 60,000 available variants, Ganter offers an unrivalled range and variety of standard parts.
What became known as the Ganter Standard after its launch 100 years ago eventually turned into an indispensable feature in many engineering and construction offices - and with it the Ganter catalogue, showing the entire range of products with all their characteristics on around 1,900 pages in the most recent 17th edition. The Ganter catalogue has long been a much sought-after manual which has successfully helped and accompanied generations of designers and developers. And - this being the digital age - all the data are also available online and can be loaded into all common CAD programs.
If, by any chance, there is a standard part that you need and cannot find in the extensive range of products, the people at Ganter will set to work to close the gap and develop a customized solution. This is also one part of the story which has made Ganter into what it is today: a successful player on the international stage.

With Güthle, swift die changes always run smoothly. We offer standard components or customised solutions: Fast, safe, clean - and from a single source - since 1925.
There is no such thing as impossible! Nearly 90 years after our founding, one of our main beliefs is still that even the most demanding tasks can be solved. Technical manoeuvrability in tight spaces is the strength of our bestselling DILOS die change transporter. Intellectual manoeuvrability is a virtue anchored in the minds of our Güthle workforce. This virtue allows us to respond swiftly, in a customer-oriented manner, to a dynamic market with ever-changing conditions and requirements.

Clamping, changing, transporting – we set the tone with this triad when it comes to swift die changings, and our rollers still play the leading role. Our ROLLBLOC system makes it possible to move extremely heavy dies as if by magic and to precisely position them for installation. The T-groove designed ball bars make even the heaviest dies look weightless. This constantly evolving technology still forms the core of our product range.
Throughout the development of the ROLLBLOC line, we at Güthle have been in constant dialogue with our customers and have expanded our range to meet customer requirements. Our complex DILOS systems were inspired by customer products and concepts to enable the automated die change of heavy-duty press dies, pursuant to individual requirements and specifications.
Güthle products leave no question unanswered when it die comes to clamping, changing, and transporting.
