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.

Milling and turning in one clamping: In the new product video, the TILTENTA MILLTURN shows what modern complete processing looks like today. The continuous machining process reduces reclamping operations, increases process reliability and creates the basis for the economical and precise production of complex workpieces. Experience the TILTENTA MILLTURN in practical use and discover the advantages of economical and process reliable complete processing on one machine.
In modern CNC production, no two jobs are the same: Today prismatic 3-axis machining, tomorrow complex 5-axis components and then the machining of shafts, tubes or mouldings. With the FORTE 65 with rotating/swivelling table, HEDELIUS offers a machining centre that adapts quickly and efficiently to changing requirements for maximum productivity and safety.
The GEWO Feinmechanik GmbH & Co. KG relies on the 3-axis machining centre FORTE 85 Single 1620 from HEDELIUS for the production of high-precision components. The decisive factors for the investment were the high machine stability, the large Y travel path and the compact design of the CNC milling machine. In daily use, the FORTE 85 impresses with its precise machining results, high level of user-friendliness and economical production, even with difficult-to-machine materials. GEWO also reports productivity increases of 15 to 20 per cent and emphasises the partnership-based cooperation with HEDELIUS.
