Extrusion line with 360 and 150 MN presses, operated with a 42-pump PMSD drive (RX 500) for Norheinco, 2009
Other small orders from different customers in Asia
are for modernisation or reconditioning of existing forges
and the installation of electronic control units and
drives.
It is evident precisely from the successful development
of recent years that the core competence in the business
area of open die forging presses of pahnKE Engineering
has again been fully absorbed by WEPUKO-
Hydraulik. Consequently the name of the company in
Germany was changed from WEPUKO-Hydraulik GmbH
to WEPUKO pahnKE GmbH at the end of 2011.
WEPUKO pahnKE currently has a presence in over
74 countries in the world on all five continents and is
active wherever innovative solutions and high-quality
products in the field of piston pumps, hydraulic drives
or open die forging presses are in demand.
Both in North and South America, as well as China and
India, the WEPUKO pahnKE corporate group has been
able to build on the good reputation of Hans-Joachim
Pahnke and continue the press business In addition to
WEPUKO pahnKE Engineering in the USA, a second
sister company, WEPUKO pahnKE Systems, is being
founded by Michael Pahnke in Shenyang, China.
This is how we are continuing the heritage of
Hans-Joachim Pahnke successfully and with pride.
