Automotive rims are primary safety components. Because of this classification, the leak tightness of alumimum rims must be tested with a thorough and reliable method.
The company W. v. d. Heyde - vdh – in Stade, Germany, is the worldwide market leader in manufacturing leak detection machines for aluminum rims.
The origins of this traditional company, which is now more than 100 years in existence, are in the making of pumps and steam boilers and traditional metal work like turning and milling. The new development of manufacturing leak detection machines, not just for aluminum rims, but also for industrial drums, compressors, etc., started in the early 1990’s.
Today, our scope of supply has extended to a large spectrum: In addition to leak detection equipment, we also focus on design, mechanical engineering and building of specialty machine applications, providing skilled personnel for customer’s temporary needs and training of employees, as well as offering extensive service and support worldwide – supported by our subsidiaries in China and the USA.
