DESMA
Worldwide History
Founded in 1946, Desma Werke GMBH at
Achim, near Bremen originally produced presses for the production of shoes
and soles. The name Desma is from Deutsche Schuhmaschinen (German Shoe
Machines). In the early sixties, Desma started to produce specialized
injection molding machines for direct injection of PVC shoe soles and
boots. In addition, in the early sixties, a booming market for rubber
soles inspired Desma to build the first 300 and 500 ton 10-station rotary
rubber injection molding machines. These machines also began to be used
for the production of technical rubber parts for the automotive and
consumer goods industries. Several hundred of these machines were built in
the sixties, seventies, and eighties in the factory at Achim.
In the year 1965, a
new plant was built at Fridingen in the south of Germany and single
station rubber injection molding machines were developed and built in this
factory. In 1981 Desma was purchased by Klockner Werke AG, a large
producer of steel and various types of machinery. In 1991 the complete
rubber machinery division of Desma became a separate, independent
operating unit of Klockner and all activities were transferred to the
expanded plant at Fridingen. Development and production of both single
station and rotary machine with clamping forces from 50 to 4000 tons and
injection capacities from 100 cm3
to 32,000 cm3 are now done at
Fridingen.
In
Fridingen, Germany, Desma currently employs a
staff of around 215 employees for development, production, service and
administration. Our annual machine production capacity is approximately
200 units.
