In the time from the company’s foundation until 1950, we used the experience we had gained from processing sheet metal for providing a whole host of varied products, extending from anti-lightening devices to cake moulds to hair clips.
As soon as we started producing worm-drive hose clamps, we began to focus on one product range, whose success was due to its high quality and the new construction design using a thread that has not been punched through.
From these beginning with a low level of mechanisation but with the high level of vertical integration that was customary at the time, the number of clamps produced each year increased at a tremendous rate. This growth gave an early spurt to the mechanisation process in the manufacturing and one new machine followed another, each with its own construction design. As early as the nineteen seventies, the company was using combined punching, bending and welding machines for the production of its standard clamps.
We have remained faithful to our own aspirations in continuing to develop the IDEAL hose-clamp product. Superior clamping force, low internal friction and optimised contours and materials form the core of our development. The customer has always benefited from IDEAL’s constant improvements to its clamps’ design qualities and continually expanding possibilities for application.
The sales focus on machine and plant construction or rather the specialist sales staff has developed through our interaction with the company’s partners, our key customers.
From the outset, our high supply capacities and quick reactivity as well as having a wide product range at our disposal have proved our strengths in our partnership with our customers. The reliability of both the product and our overall service remain our key benefit to customers. Even today, development, manufacturing and sales are all carried out here. Our team is committed and enthusiastic about a product that at first glance may appear inconspicuous. We distinguish ourselves through our quality and customer consultations. Our service speaks for itself.
