Core offering

Timmer GmbH manufactures and sells industrial pneumatic components, double diaphragm and piston pumps, vacuum generation equipment, and vacuum lifting systems for industrial applications. The company offers both standardized catalog products and custom-engineered special solutions, complemented by fluid connector systems and an online configurator for tailored vacuum lifting equipment.

Product overview

Timmer GmbH is a German industrial equipment manufacturer specializing in pneumatics, pumps, and vacuum technology. The company operates a platform-plus-modules architecture with three core product lines: (1) Pumpen (Pumps) covering double diaphragm pumps (timPRO, timCLASSIC, timCHEM, timBOOST series) and piston pumps (tim ECO, tim COA, tim GLUE series), augmented by the timTRON intelligent monitoring system for predictive maintenance; (2) fluidFIT comprising tube connectors and piping solutions for metric, inch, and metal pipe systems; and (3) Industriepneumatik encompassing round cylinders (RST series to ISO 6432), short stroke cylinders (SZ/SZV series), guide cylinders, pneumatic valves, and comprehensive pneumatic accessories across 30+ series designations. Supporting these are TIVAtec vacuum technology products (pneumatic/electric vacuum pumps, suction cups) and Vakuumhebetechnik vacuum lifting systems including traversers (basicLIFT, multiLIFT, coilLIFT) and hose lifters (quickLIFT, stackLIFT, lightLIFT, heavyLIFT). Services include a product configurator, custom engineering solutions, ISO 9001-certified maintenance, and spare parts. The company maintains over 4,500 articles in stock and serves over 5,000 customers globally through 30+ partners.
