Hennecke suits manufacturers investing in large-scale polyurethane production, where precision metering and long-term reliability matter more than upfront price. For MachineMatcher users, its most relevant equipment is its continuous sandwich panel lines, which turn steel or aluminium coil and PU or PIR foam into insulated roof and wall panels for cold stores, warehouses and industrial buildings. It's the natural choice for panel makers that want a top-tier European line with global service. Appliance makers foaming refrigerator cabinets, mattress and foam producers, and automotive suppliers moulding PU parts also make up a large share of its customers.

Full Description
Hennecke is a German specialist in polyurethane processing machinery, headquartered in Sankt Augustin near Bonn, with more than 80 years in the industry. It's now part of the Brückner Group, a German family-owned plastics machinery group that also includes Brückner Maschinenbau (film stretching lines), Kiefel (thermoforming) and PackSys Global (packaging systems).
At the heart of Hennecke's business is metering technology: high-pressure and low-pressure machines that mix polyurethane components in exact ratios. Hennecke builds complete production lines around that technology for each major PU application. These include slabstock lines for flexible foam blocks, moulding lines for automotive seats and parts, foaming lines for refrigerators and freezers, technical insulation lines, and sandwich panel lines.
The sandwich panel lines are where Hennecke overlaps most with the metals industry. Built mainly through Hennecke-OMS in Verano Brianza, Italy, these lines take steel or aluminium coil, profile it into facings, inject PU or PIR foam between the two skins and cure the panel continuously, before cutting it to length. The resulting insulated panels are widely used for cold storage, warehouses, industrial buildings and façades.
Hennecke has its own companies in Germany, Italy, the USA, China and Singapore, along with a partner in Brazil and agents elsewhere. It supports its lines across their whole working life, from commissioning through maintenance to retrofits.
