SERTECHNIK was founded in 2018 in the Bavarian town of Merching. Even if Sertechnik gives the impression of a young company, a closer look reveals that it is a company where experience, competence and know-how meet.
The founders of Sertechnik have built a solid reputation for providing reliable, high-quality solutions to industry. With this know-how and this competence, Sertechnik strives to become a subcontractor for other European companies.
Interview with Erwin Seefried, CEO of SERTECHNIK.
Easy Engineering: A brief description of the company and its activities
Erwin Seefried: Sertechnik specializes in the areas of welded construction, mechanical engineering, casting and assembly.
Quality optimization as well as quality and cost-optimized solutions are daily routine for us.
BPM manipulators are the answer to the needing to handle loads of different types. We help in all possible areas, from warehouse logistics through various production areas to packaging industry.
BPM manipulators allow the ergonomic, safe and effective handling of almost all products. You can lift products up to 1,850 kg using only compressed air.
Due to the perfect load distribution, our manipulators enable almost weightless gripping and handling in all directions. The operator works effectively in maximum safety and ergonomic conditions.
Thanks to the ISO 9001 and ISO 3834 certifications available for our manufacturers, we can guarantee consistently high quality. We create all our designs and simulations with Solidworks Premium Office.
Our products are produced according to the following European Standards:
- MACHINES DIRECTIVE 2006/42/CE
- DIN EN 14238:2004+A1:2009
- DIN EN ISO 12100:2010
- DIN EN ISO 4414:2010.
Our own product, the pneumatic manipulators BPM (Bavarian Pneumatic Manipulators), is of course also produced according to the standards mentioned and is equipped with the CE mark. “BPM Industrial Manipulators is a brand of Sertechnik GmbH”
E.E: What are the main areas of activity of the company?
E.S: Specialty of our activity is with no boundaries if there are production and material flow then we can help you. Manipulators and cable balancers are used in a wide range of industries across the globe to help companies move with efficiency and safety. Some of the many industries that rely on these machines include: Building – Packaging and packaging lines – Textiles – Chemistry – Food – Mechanics – Electromechanics – Foundry – Automotive – Wood
E.E: What’s the news about new products?
E.S: Compressed air is not dangerous; it is clean and it is now available in all industrial sectors. The pneumatic technology is now established both for the development of the driving force and for the logic management. The pneumatic components are extremely reliable and easily maintainable even in the hardest environments. Pneumatic Components are now standardized and normed, and readily available worldwide also not affected by vibration, moisture, dust or other external agent.
When you compare electronic and pneumatic, are not subject to ‘infant mortality’. The compressed air allows the storage of an emergency energy supply besides the air, being a traditional technology, requires basic skills of maintenance personnel.
The compressed air provides the best fluidity when load balancing also a single power source means fewer problems of continuity and probability of breakdowns.
The use of simple swivel joints, you have a 360 ° continuous rotation without annoying hindrance for the operator and no risk of cable kinking.
E.E: What are the ranges of products?

E.E: At what stage is the market where you are currently active?
E.S: In times of labor shortages, it is becoming increasingly important to design workplaces ergonomically, especially to relieve existing workers, avoid health risks and, last but not least, to attract new employees through ergonomically designed workplaces.
Also, Health and safety regulations and needs screwing production and warehouse facilities.
We can contribute to this with our products, the pneumatic manipulators.
Our manipulators can lift and move weights from 5 kg to 1850 kg in almost weightless condition in any direction.

E.E: What are the most innovative products marketed?
E.S: Reel Master is our innovation product where we optimize electronics and pneumatics together with camera. Handling weight is always a borderline for production even at full automated lines you need to load or unload beginning of the lines.
E.E: What estimations do you have for 2023?
E.S: In times of labor shortages, it is becoming increasingly important to design workplaces ergonomically, especially to relieve existing workers, avoid health risks and, last but not least, to attract new employees through ergonomically designed workplaces. We can contribute to this with our products, the pneumatic manipulators.
Our manipulators can lift and move weights from 5 kg to 1850 kg in almost weightless condition in any direction. With us you always get the complete solution, i.e. manipulator including all necessary tools, (from the simple hook solution to magnet solutions to highly complex grippers) from a single source.
You will find us at Frühlingstraße 15 in 86415 Mering/Germany. This is centrally located between Augsburg and Munich in Bavaria.
