Core offering

ROEMHELD (UK) Limited sells and supports a comprehensive range of workholding and materials-handling equipment for metal-cutting production engineering. Its portfolio spans hydraulic and mechanical workholding elements (clamps, work supports, vices), zero-point clamping systems (STARK Easy Click), quick die change systems, hydraulic power units, and assembly/lifting/modular handling technology. Products are manufactured within the Roemheld Group (incorporating HILMA and STARK) and supplied directly to manufacturing companies across the UK and Ireland, alongside sales, service, and ongoing technical support.

Product overview

Roemheld UK offers a comprehensive portfolio of workholding and handling technology solutions organized into six core product categories: Workholding Elements (hydraulic and mechanical clamps, work supports), Zero-point Clamping Technology (STARK Easy Click systems for rapid workpiece positioning), Quick Die Change (QDC systems, carrying consoles, ball bars, die carts), Power Units (hydraulic power units and clamping pumps), Assembly and Handling (lifting technology, bicycle assembly stands, Modihub modules, linear actuators), and Functions (accessories). The company also offers Hilma machine vices (NC160 and VL160 series) as a sub-brand through its parent group's Hilma division. The products are designed for metal-cutting production engineering applications across automotive, aerospace, medical, machine tools, plastics, rubber, food, and packaging industries. The company operates as part of the Roemheld group which also incorporates STARK Spannsysteme for zero point clamping technology.
