Descriptiontext

Artifex Dr. Lohman (legal entity: ARTIFEX Dr. Lohmann GmbH & Co. KG) is a privately held German industrial manufacturer headquartered in Kaltenkirchen (registered in Hamburg) that designs and produces elastic-bonded grinding and polishing tools. The company's core technology embeds conventional abrasive grains (silicon carbide or corundum) within flexible polyurethane foam or rubber compounds, producing tools that range from sponge-soft to hard while retaining elasticity. This enables a single tool family to span coarse grinding through high-gloss polishing and ultrafine finishing (surface roughness below 0.04 μm Ra). The product portfolio is organized into two primary lines — metal processing and glass processing — with additional penetration into medical device manufacturing, mold making, and turbine blade finishing. Series such as AO, BK, EK, SC, CE, DA-R, P, Rplus, HZP, and WEL cover applications including glass edge polishing, cutting edge corrections (K-Land), superfinishing, and mirror finish on hard metal. Products are sold as cup wheels, peripheral wheels, mounted points, universal abrasive blocks, and polydiscs.

The business operates a sales-led, B2B model with a direct internal sales team (including Prokurist/Sales Manager, Key Account Managers, Product Managers, and Customer Service) supplemented by an international partner network of approximately 25 country-level distributors split across metal and glass segments, covering Europe, Asia, North America, the Middle East, and Africa. Pricing is quote-based with customized solutions tailored to material, shape, and dimensions, typically structured as multi-year contracts with industrial customers. The company cites 100 years of heritage under the ARTIFEX name, "Made in Germany" manufacturing, and ISO 9001:2015 certification as core quality credentials. The company has 11–50 employees and no disclosed funding, parent company, or institutional ownership. Revenue and growth metrics are not publicly disclosed.
