Elma Hans Schmidbauer GmbH & Co. KG

Highly specialized, and yet innovative in multiple ways - this is ELMA, a company which has successfully been on the market with their ultrasonic technology for more than 50 years now. ELMA started in 1948 with only 2 people who had an idea for a totally new watch cleaning machine. They kept looking for the perfect cleaning technology which eventually led them to try ultrasound.

Constant research and permanent technical improvement of the products in the ultrasonic and process technology department have always been the core competence of the company. The product range contains a large number of serial units, modular cleaning lines and special customer-made cleaning installations. Cleaning chemicals, developed, tested and produced in our own chemical laboratory round off the ELMA product range and help to solve even the most difficult cleaning jobs in various business sectors.

ELMA are exporters of customized state-of-the-art technology into more than 70 countries all over the world, distributing their products to watchmakers and jewellers, to dental and research laboratories, to companies in the medical and optics sector and to industrial businesses.
