Over EMB
For several decades now, we have been focused on the production and global distribution of pipe joints in accordance with DIN EN ISO 8434-1. Our pipe joints are manufactured for various connection systems currently available on the market, such as cutting ring, welding nipple, flange and pipe end forming systems. We of course provide these same systems including the appropriate assembly technology, offering our customers both range and depth.
Our many years of experience, a wide range of different pipe joints as well as the appropriate assembly technology put us in a position to offer the user a pipe connection system that is optimal for his application. We are more than happy to advise our customers and support them from planning to completion, as well as beyond that of course.
For more than 10 years now, we have had a strong partner in hydraulics with our parent company Gates. The "Port 2 Port" strategy of pipe and hose connection enables our customers to purchase complete series of products from a single specialist source!
