2 TWO COMPANIES ONE FAMILY ONE CONCEPT: INDIVIDUALISM OUR CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY While others are still discussing why something can t be done, we are already working on a solution. We celebrated our 80 th anniversary at Möllering in 2012, and we will continue to preserve and maintain a corporate culture based on trust and competence with which employees, customers and suppliers can identify. Norderstedt plant Headquarters Jörg Thenhausen We will also strive to keep pace with the never-ending process of change with the help of highly motivated, well qualified employees, state-of-the-art production technology, creativity and our capacity for market-oriented innovation. We will keep you updated in our News section at As a family business and a member of the Thenhausen Group, we face these challenges and responsibilities alongside the Hiri and TSW companies. All of our efforts are consistently devoted to the goal of maximum customer satisfaction which we regard as ideal customer closeness. We do not view customer closeness in terms of distance but above all as a principle of corporate philosophy. Welcome to Möllering and TSW Bielefeld plant production facility Jörg Thenhausen Managing Director of the Möllering and TSW companies 2 3

4 MANUAL PRODUCTION Mechanical production methods for moulded parts and prototypes produced without forms or moulds Every new product begins with an idea. Realizing an idea from the prototype phase to serial production is one of the tasks of our mechanical production and processing section. That is where semifinished rubber and plastic products are drilled, turned, milled, ground, punched, etc. When it comes to producing even the most complicated articles from drawings without forms or moulds as quickly as possible, we call on our specialists each of whom is a skilled expert in his field with a record of self-reliance and dedication to the highest standards. Möllering a strong partner from start to finish. For more Information visit 6 7

5 MOULDED RUBBER PARTS Elastomer moulded parts produced by compression in heated moulds Moulded rubber parts provide ideal support for sealing, insulating and bearing applications. These parts are produced with the aid of standard production methods, including compression, transfer moulding and injection moulding with specially designed tools. We use these methods to process both standard compounds such as EPDM, NBR, NR, SBR and Silicon as well as special compounds, including Viton (FKM), AU/EU and HNBR. In selecting suitable materials we also take into account such factors as temperatures, media, ambient influences, mechanical wear and tear, etc. to which the finished products will be exposed. We achieve this by modifying standard compounds with respect to glide characteristics, abrasion and resistance to temperature, solvents and chemicals. We also use composite materials also known as 2-component-materials. Examples include metal-reinforced rubber materials and Teflon or Graphite fillings added to improve glide characteristics.

6 WATER-JET TECHNOLOGY Material cutting methods using high-pressure water jets Does your application required custom-made parts consisting of cellular or solid elastomer or plastic? We guarantee precision cutting through even the strongest materials with water pressures of up to 5,000 bar. Even the most intricate geometries pose no problems for this process. As no tools are needed, we can produce both large and small batches. For more Information visit 10 11

7 MOULDED PLASTIC PARTS Moulded thermoplastic parts produced by injection and cooling in a mould Plastic products have been a part of our daily life for years not only as cost-effective substitutes for metal components but due to their own intrinsic properties: excellent formability, relatively low weight, recyclability and various technical characteristics, such as elasticity, the e- module and electrical behaviour. can be processed in pure form or in modified variations, e.g. reinforced with fibreglass or glass beads. In addition, the 2-component injection moulding technology is ideally suited to the realization of combinations of individual materials. Familiar materials in the thermoplast family include PA, TPE, TPU, PVC, ABS, PP, PC, PS and PET. These materials For more Information visit 12 13

8 MACHINE AND TOOL CONSTRUCTION Manufacture of machinery and tools for moulded parts production Increasingly demanding requirements for moulded elastomer and thermoplast parts used in practically all industrial fields have brought our own machine and tool manufacturing department to the level it has achieved today. From product-based consulting to in-house engineering design to production using state-of-the-art CNC-controlled machine tools, we offer complete solutions for every problem. You define the requirements we develop the most economically and technically effective approach. For more Information visit 14 15

9 GIESSTECHNIK Methods for producing moulded parts from flowable materials that harden without pressure in the mould In additional to our manually produced and moulded homogeneous elastomers we also offer our customers the benefits of our casting technology for so-called cast elastomers. The most important cast elastomers are Polyurethane and Vulkollan, which we process in a hardness range of 20 to 98 Shore A. Typical applications include roller and core coverings, cylinder coatings, consumable parts, rotor blades and other prefabricated parts. We also employ our casting technology to produce sheet goods with special hardness ratings below 70 Shore A for special products which are not available in standard versions. The use of low-cost casting forms enables us to produce nearly all geometries for our customers. For more Information visit Vulkollan is a registered trademark of BAYER AG, Leverkusen 16 17

10 HOSE TECHNOLOGY Flexible lines for the conveyance of solid, liquid and gaseous media High-quality hoses with or without linings have become an indispensable part of everyday life. Regardless of the media conveyed and regardless of the hose material selected elastomer, plastic or a combination of both: We offer you the ideal solution for every purpose. And if no product is available for your specific application, we will develop one that meets your needs (e.g. 4 th generation plasticizer-free solvent spiral hoses) from the wide range of materials and production methods we have at our disposal. And we work with a number of different production methods, such as extrusion, with or without mandrel, manual processing, braiding or winding. For more Information visit 18 19

11 EXTRUSION Method used in the production of elastomer and plastic hoses and profiles From profiles to cords, from machine hoses to hollow section profiles: We use all standard elastomers, plastics and TPEs in both solid and cellular form, for example as continuous profiles or customised as sealing frames. We use all standard elastomers, plastics and TPEs in both solid and cellular form. We also rely on our two-component technology, which enables us to realize combinations of different materials.

12 FOAM TECHNOLOGY Gas bubbles enclosed within solid, elastic or liquid walls Moulded parts made of cellular elastomers and plastics offer the significant advantages of low weight, good shape recovery and excellent heat insulation. Foam technology at Möllering encompasses the production, processing and finishing of a wide range of foams. We work with CNC controlled water-jet and splitting systems and use manual processing methods employed by our production specialists. We process a number of different foams, including cellular rubber, foam rubber, sponge rubber, silicone foam as well as PE and PU foams. These materials are processed primarily in the production of seals, core and roller coverings as well as prefabricated parts and semi-finished products in many different fields of industry. We cut, punch, coat, laminate and glue foam materials and equip them with self-adhesive tapes designed specifically for your application on request. For more Information visit 22 23
