item Industrietechnik GmbH

Company Description

item is the pioneer in building kit systems for industrial applications and a global market leader. It has been designing and marketing construction solutions for machinery, fixtures and plants since 1976. Today, the item product portfolio comprises more than 3,000 high-quality components designed for use in machine bases, work benches, automation solutions and lean production applications.ProductsAlthough originally developed for mechanical engineering applications, the principle of using aluminium profiles and screw connections instead of welded steel struts was quickly adopted by users in other areas, too. Today, alongside the MB Building Kit System, item also supplies solutions for ergonomic work benches and the D30 profile tube system for lean production. Thanks to the inclusion of transport solutions and dynamic elements, the company?s products can cover virtually all working processes, from manual production to automated manufacturing. Line XMS offers functional machine frames that are also ideally suited to series production and the company supplies sturdy stairways and platforms for use with large machinery and facilities.ApplicationsMachinery and factory equipment built from aluminium profiles are used across all sectors, from machinery and racks in the automotive industry to cleanroom solutions in the pharmaceutical and medical sectors. Dynamic elements from item can be found in both harsh environments where they are exposed to dust and water and in high-precision applications, such as the manufacture of electronic components. The building kit systems are used to erect enclosures, housings, transport trolleys, Kanban stores, conveyor lines and networked workstations. The manual work benches can be easily fitted with systems for material logistics applications, data and information provision and ergonomic tool storage.
