Located in Aschaffenburg, close to Frankfurt in the centre of Germany, LÖMI is an innovative manufacturer of solvent debinding furnaces. In 2011 the company celebrates twenty years of experience in explosion-proof systems for handling flammable solvents. As PIM International discovers, the company has become, over a period of just over a decade, a market leader in solvent debinding furnaces for the PIM industry.

Introduction

LÖMI GmbH was founded in 1991 by José M. Dias Fonseca, an engineer whose vision was to produce reasonably priced, high-quality and reliable solvent recovery systems. The explosion-proof systems that the company developed employ vacuum distillation and meet European directives with regard to occupational health and safety and environmental protection.

The technology proved itself right from the start and only six months after the formation of the company, LÖMI won Ciba-Geigy as a customer. During a two-year period of cooperation, LÖMI developed a completely new solvent recovery system which then was sold worldwide to customers such as Motorola Singapore and Ericcson Australia........
