Industries

Plastics industry

Plastics are mainly used for the production of packaging or are used in the construction, automotive and electronics industries. The furniture industry, agriculture and medical technology also benefit from the application and use of various artificial materials.

Mechanical engineering/ process engineering

Customized drives for a wide range of applications are the greatest challenges for development and design.

Steel/sheet metal industry

Transfer cases with 2 to 21 output shafts are the measure of all things here. Sheet metal is rolled, straightened and cut in strip processing lines.

Food/pharmaceutical industry

The food and pharmaceutical industries require many different drives that are used in mixers, filling systems, forming presses, portioners and packaging systems.

Forming technology

Special drives are required in forming technology. This is why they are designed for the respective area of application and the required power.

Special drives

Special drive solutions are essential for special challenges. Special drives such as shift spur gears or special solutions tailored precisely to the application are the order of the day.

Emergency care fund of the Esslingen District Deaconry Association

Helping people in difficult situations has been the task of the KDV in the district of Esslingen since 2005. In particularly acute emergencies, thanks to the emergency care fund, it is possible to help quickly and unbureaucratically with a loan or a one-off financial contribution.

Certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and 14001

Since March 10, 2023, Knödler-Getriebe GmbH & Co. KG has been certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 (quality management) and 14001 (environmental management). The audit took place on February 28 and March 1 at our premises.
