Heinrich Witzenmann’s influence on manufacturing may have begun in 1885, when he invented the metal hose, but it continues to this day. The company he founded has continually grown over the past 130 years to become the world’s leading manufacturer of flexible metal elements.
When product designers require an expansion joint to compensate for movements, they often use one made by the Pforzheim, Germany-based Witzenmann Group. The company’s other popular metal products include bellows, components and pipe supports for plant equipment, manufacturing cells and fully automated production lines.
