Innovative strength has been woven into the Rittal DNA since its foundation. In 1961, Rudolf Lok Elektrogerätebau was founded in Rittershausen by the entrepreneur Rudolf Loh, with one simple guiding principle: “Enclosures off the shelf, immediately.” In its founding year it launched the world’s first standard enclosure on the market. In 1969, the company was renamed Rittal, in honour of its roots in Rittershausen in Dietzhölztal. Within just a few years, Rittal enclosures had become established as a global standard, and have remained so to this day.

In 1972, the machine builder and graduate engineer Peter Schröck established Uniflex-Hydraulik GmbH in Frankfurt/Main. Owing to pioneering innovations and extraordinary product quality, the flourishing enterprise soon developed into a global provider of machines for hose production.
Uniflex-Hydraulik GmbH became a member of Freiherren Waitz group in 1992. This laid the foundation for further growth: in 1996, the company occupied a new, larger office and production building in Karben, 10 km north of Frankfurt.
The subsidiary UNIFLEX of America LLC. with its present registered office in Schaumburg near Chicago, Illinois, was established in 1998 to support the markets in the Americas. In June 2004, UNIFLEX opened a subsidiary in Singapore from where our Asia-Pacific customers are served. We are also represented by offices in Tangerang/Indonesia and Shanghai/China since 2007 and 2009, respectively.
Today, after 40 years, UNIFLEX is a system provider in hose production – from workshop equipment to production plants. Innovative and reliable as well as durable hose crimpers, cutting machines, pin prick tools, skiving machines, marking tools, test systems, software and cleaning machines have been and are being developed and marketed in close cooperation with leading hose manufacturers and users.

AURION Anlagentechnik GmbH
Plasma technology=Plasma systems + RF-Components
AURION Anlagentechnik GmbH was founded by three shareholders at the end of 1996 in order to produce components and complete systems for surface treatment that are efficient, costreducing and ecologically desirable.
AURION is located in Seligenstadt, a small town a few miles east of Frankfurt am Main. Therefore we are easy to reach by plane, train or car.
Currently AURION employs 16 highly qualified engineers and technicians.

Shorter product lifecycles and increasing product variants are the challenges
facing conventional manufacturing methods today.
If predominantly tool-reliant methods are being used, this can mean
uneconomical unit costs and competitive disadvantages.
FORMRISE sees itself as a “quality leader”.
It all begins with the design of the components
and ends with quality assurance and punctual delivery.
We can assist you in your choice of manufacturing technology,
advise you which design is manufacturable and,
if you wish, take care of its production for you.
Our focus is on you as we form a relationship of trust and an understanding
of your company’s values, making FORMRISE your expert partner
even after production is complete. Why not profit from our network and
our business partners in benchmarking and machine purchasing!

Successful worldwide. At home in Germany.
ASC is a leading manufacturer of high-precision inertial sensors. Our success is genuinely founded on customer orientation, because we adapt every sensor to the exact requirements of the particular application. If none of our sensors meet your requirements, we will also be glad to develop a custom tailored sensor solution.
Maximum precision for the highest standards
ASC sensors are available in analog, digital and smart versions. All sensors are designed for high-precision inertial measurements, which makes them popular with engineers throughout the world. Well-known enterprises use our accelerometers, gyroscopes and tilt sensors in extremely demanding applications: For example, they ensure the efficient operation of wind turbines, monitor bridge structures or rail networks and provide valuable data for the design of motor vehicles and ships, as well as for automotive safety. In this way, our products make an important contribution to the functional safety of components, vehicles and machines.
The future starts with ASC sensors
In addition, our inertial sensors and smart sensor systems allow the development of innovative technologies. ASC AiSys® smart sensor systems are ideal for numerous predictive maintenance and condition monitoring applications that would have been inconceivable in the past. Another application is the modeling of digital twins for the optimization of product development cycles, production processes or construction planning. The capability of the sensors to acquire, process and network huge data quantities creates numerous other options for industrial applications. Our analog sensors likewise contribute to technological process on a daily basis – such as our capacitive accelerometers, which are used in shock and vibration tests to measure the durability of high-voltage batteries for electric vehicles, and in numerous tests of ADAS driving systems.
