HEDELIUS continues to expand its site in Meppen.
Chip for state-of-the-art TILTENTA factory.
The earthworks for the construction of a new production hall for HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik have begun. On a 25,000 square metre site, around 500 metres as the crow flies from the company headquarters in the Meppen-Nödike industrial estate, a state-of-the-art factory for the production, assembly and storage of the TILTENTA series is being built on a total of 10,000 m² under roof. Completion is planned for spring 2024.
The versatile TILTENTA swivelling head machining centre in particular is enjoying unbroken demand on the market, which is now to be met with the expansion. "The aim is to significantly increase our delivery capacities in the coming years and further optimise processes," explains HEDELIUS Managing Director Dennis Hempelmann. A glance at the production and storage areas reveals a planned increase of a considerable 40 per cent.
The TILTENTA series is thus representative of HEDELIUS' continued solid economic development: in 2022, turnover increased by 11 per cent compared to the previous year to just under EUR 70 million. Thanks to well-filled order books, the company is targeting further growth for the current year.
HEDELIUS is also clearly on the lookout for new staff, particularly in the design and assembly ranges. Anyone interested can find an overview of all open positions at hedelius.de/karriere.

(PDF | DE) Machining large workpieces flexibly whilst reducing unproductive downtime: The TILTENTA 9-2600 with MARATHON LR810 combines the advantages of a universal travelling-column machine with high-performance heavy-duty automation. During the day, the machine remains freely accessible for the manual machining of large and complex single parts, whilst the automation system enables additional productive spindle hours outside regular shifts. Up to ten pallet locations and a transfer weight of 2,000 kg provide the ideal conditions for this.
Steingross Feinmechanik GmbH & Co. KG specialises in the manufacture of sophisticated CNC-turned and CNC-milled components – from prototypes through to series production. Founded in Berlin in 1990 by Uwe Steingross, the company sees itself as a comprehensive system supplier of CNC machining technology and combines modern milling and turning processes with surface treatment, precision finishing, final assembly and design consultancy. Since 2019, Steingross has been relying heavily on HEDELIUS as a technology partner – including for the automation of its manufacturing processes.
From 15 to 19 September 2026, HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik GmbH will be presenting three automation solutions at the AMB in Stuttgart, designed to meet a range of requirements in single-part and small series production. The focus is on productive manufacturing concepts that maximise spindle running time, reduce set-up time and give manufacturing companies greater flexibility in handling changing orders. A particular highlight is the premiere of the new MARATHON LR810 heavy-duty automation system. The systems can be seen in action in Hall 10, Stand D71.
