THE MEASURE OF
TECHNOLOGY
„In close cooperation with our customers we
develop, produce and market inspection and
cleaning technology that provide tailor-made
solutions for heating, ventilation and building
applications. “
13
+
DEVELOPMENT
Our innovations set the standards the market
follows. Our successful innovations are based
on four rock-solid foundations: Our fascination
with technology, all of our development
engineers have a university degree, our many
years of experience and we never stop talking
with our customers.
14
+
PRODUCTION
Expert workmanship is required to implement
innovative developments. The reason: Wöhler
gives top priority to the reliability and high
standards of quality of its products. Alone the
precision and efficiency of working procedures
during production ensure we are able to deliver
"the measure of technology".
15
+
CONSULTATION/SALES
We offer customers planning investments all
the support we can give based on our
experience and technological know-how.
Because development, production and
marketing are all under the same roof at
Wöhler we are able to call on a great deal of
competence. This enables us to offer our
customers the best possible solutions to
support them during their work.
16
+
SERVICE
We focus on providing competent service,
because professional equipment maintenance
helps to safeguard customer investments. As
the manufacturer Wöhler is able to offer
absolutely reliable maintenance, inspection and
calibration services at all times.
17
+
FLUE GAS ANALYSIS
Precision flue gas analyzers are indispensable
to ensure compliance with statutory regulations
and resolute environmental protection. Data
processing functionality as well as interfaces to
a PC and mobile terminal device support the
user when evaluating and documenting
measurement data.
18
+
MEASURING
PARTICULATE MATTER
Innovative Wöhler products are causing a stir in
the industry: Back in 2012 the Wöhler SM 500
was the first particulate matter analyzer to fulfill
the more stringent requirements imposed by
the first German Federal Immission Control Act
(1. BImSchV) with regard to particulate matter
limits.
19
+
HEATING SYSTEMS
Wöhler pressure measurement and leakage
detection devices make it possible to reliably
monitor systems critical to safety in accordance
with (German) technical rules for gas
installations; as a consequence, they help to
detect and avert hazardous situations
endangering the lives of residents.
20
+
VENTILATION/BUILDING
Objective assessments based on measurement
results create transparency and provide a solid
basis for making suggestions for
improvements. Utilizing Wöhler measurement
technology it is possible to set-up ventilation
and air-conditioning systems to operate at the
best-possible level of efficiency and to monitor
their long-term performance.
21
+
INSPECTION
TECHNOLOGY
When chimneys, waste water pipes, flue gas
and ventilation systems or industrial facilities
need inspecting video inspection systems from
Wöhler keep you in the picture. High-quality
technology, for example the pan&tilt color
camera head, ensure you can see as clear as a
bell even in the most inaccessible of places.
22
+
CLEANING
TECHNOLOGY
We develop mechanical cleaning devices for
tradespeople and industry to clean flue gas
systems and ventilation lines. Cleaning heads
made of different materials and strengths
guarantee on-the-job satisfaction.

WÖHLER POWER PARTNER
The idea behind the Wöhler Power Partner
program is quite simple: We wish to support our
market partners operating in the chimney
sweep, sanitation, heating and climate control
trades to the best of our ability as they go about
their daily work. To achieve this objective, we
have developed a well-thought through
program to ensure our customers receive the
best support possible.

INNOVATIONS-FORUM
Dialog with the customer forms the basis for
planning, developing and optimizing our
products. That´s why we not only take every
available opportunity to talk with our customers,
we also create the opportunities too: The
innovations forum to be held in Fulda, from the
29-30th May 2015 not only offers customers
unparalleled experiences, it also offers the
place where essential knowledge is passed on.

LIVING & WORKING IN
BAD WÜNNENBERG
Bad Wünnenberg is a small, family-friendly
town in the Paderborn region of Germany.
Beautiful countryside offers an open invitation
to relax. Nevertheless, with the university town
of Paderborn just 20 minutes down the road it
is possible to benefit from all of the advantages
that a large town has to offer.
