ARDIMA INDUSTRIESERVICE BÖHM GMBH

ARDIMA was founded in 1984 as an independent company from the engineering office Böhm, initially as a family business with Kff. R. Böhm and Dipl.-Ing. and Dipl.-Betriebswirt H.-J. Böhm. At first, based on consulting and sales of seals, as a Parker-Hannifin representative, and of valves, as a F. Krombach support point, the focus was on local large-scale chemistry and large industry with these renowned partners. Thanks to expertise, diligence, and the involvement of the next family generation, the young family business grew into a significant specialist in hose and sealing technology, which necessitated a move to new business and storage premises in Hockenheim in 1989. Further renowned manufacturers were added to expand the program, and the forward-looking hose technology at ARDIMA was born. Soon, due to increased space requirements, additional storage space had to be rented, but it was already evident that further optimization of the premises would be unavoidable. In 1995, the groundbreaking ceremony for a new office building with an attached production and storage hall in the Hockenheim industrial area took place. In line with customer demands, the storage area was expanded to nearly 1000 sqm, and in-house production capabilities in the area of special seals, hose, and valve technology were created. Self-developed assembly systems, processing machines, and in-house test stands with service personnel were also added. Another pillar of today's service philosophy was established, and thanks to the commitment of the employees, the business areas could continue to grow, satisfying an increasing number of customers both domestically and internationally. Numerous special solutions, welding constructions, and in-house valve developments, along with fast, customer-oriented service, continue to be created today for crafts, mechanical engineering, pharmaceuticals, and apparatus engineering, as well as for large industry, large-scale chemistry, and energy suppliers. Problem-solving, special requests, speed, the incorporation of know-how, and the personal connection with the customer are the true strengths of ARDIMA. As a confirmation of the mostly loyal customers, sales quadrupled from the groundbreaking ceremony until 2010, and the number of employees increased from 2 founding members to over 15 employees. Good quality in service and products has always been the top priority in all business areas at ARDIMA. The goal is to combine this with a reasonable and customer-oriented price, thus always being a reliable, fair, and competent business partner for the customer in the long term.
