REDEX

What REDEX does

REDEX Group is a privately held European engineering company headquartered in Ferrières-en-Gâtinais, France, with a parallel German headquarters in Pforzheim. The group designs and manufactures mechatronic solutions across three business units: Machine Drives (linear and rotary axis drives, spindle and table drives, precision drives, and torque/tension control systems under the Merobel, Andantex, Ampliblock, DGT and Z-Series brands); Precision Rolling Mills (FRM, WRM, RM, RMW, FFW and PLF machines for wire, narrow strip, precious metals, magnet wire, and lithium foil); and Strip Processing Technologies (continuous galvanizing, pickling, bright annealing, coil coating and tension leveling lines for steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals).

The technology stack combines mechanical engineering, electronics, and control systems, anchored by several proprietary and patented components: the UMS/UMSI Unflatness Measurement System PRO achieving approximately 99.5% precision in strip flatness, the elongation control system with REDEX Box at ±0.05% precision, ROBEX backing assemblies for 20-high rolling mills, a patented floatation technology for no-contact strip transport in furnaces, and an automatic strip cleaning device for leveler cassettes. Production is 100% Made in Europe across three factories in France and Germany with approximately 150 CNC machine tools, supported by R&D and design centers in France, Germany, and Slovakia.

REDEX generates revenue through capital equipment sales (custom-configured rolling mills and processing lines sold via quote-based pricing), original spare parts and wear parts, and engineering services including installation, commissioning, revamping/retrofit, consulting, training, and process optimization. Distribution is via direct enterprise field sales through wholly-owned subsidiaries in France, Germany, China, India, Italy, Spain, Slovakia, the UK, and the USA, complemented by a network of independent agents in more than 30 countries. The group reports that 90% of turnover comes from exports, including approximately 15% from the US market, serving customers in automotive, battery/e-mobility, aerospace, electronics, precious metals/minting, jewelry and watch, construction, nuclear, medical, and academic research verticals.

Core offering

REDEX designs, manufactures, and services precision rolling mills, high-performance machine drives, and metal strip processing lines (galvanizing, pickling, annealing, coating, tension leveling) for steel, non-ferrous and precious metals producers. The portfolio combines patented mechatronic technologies — including the UMS universal flatness measurement system, ROBEX backing assemblies, and floatation technology — with engineering services, spare parts, and retrofits for the automotive, aerospace, electronics, and battery materials industries.

Product overview

REDEX Group is a European engineering company offering a comprehensive portfolio of three business units: Machine Drives, Precision Rolling Mills, and Strip Processing Technologies. The Machine Drives unit provides high-performance drives including linear & rotary axis drives (DRP, KRP, KRPX, SRP), spindle & table drives (MSD, MSR, RAM), precision drives (Z SERIES, R-SERIES), and torque & tension control solutions (Ampliblock+, DG Block, DGT 300+, EAT, EFAS, FAS, FAT, Powerblock+). The Precision Rolling Mills unit offers specialized rolling equipment including FRM for precious metals, WRM for wire reduction, RM for round wire, RMW for rectangular magnet wire, FFW for fine flat wire, and PLF for precision lithium foil rolling. The Strip Processing Technologies unit provides complete continuous processing lines including galvanizing, pickling, annealing, coating lines, and key technologies such as UMS flatness measurement, ROBEX backing assemblies, skin-pass mills, and the Super Snout entry system. All products are 100% Made in Europe with R&D and production facilities in France and Germany.
