Hofmann GmbH

Since 1948 Walter Hofmann has developed agricultural machinery and equipment upon request. Based on his experience amongst others at the company ZF in Friedrichshafen/Germany, he specialized himself in the improvement of transmission constructions.

In 1951 Hans Gubela visited Walter Hofmann in Hamburg for private reason. During their conversation he asked about the development of a new type of line marking machine "from practice - for practice".

Hans Gubela, owner of the very famous company Gubela  which is one of the largest line marking companies in Germany as well as Walter Hofmann himself realized that as a result of the increase in demand for cars and trucks the need for well-developed roads with appropriate high quality markings will become immense.

Convinced of this idea, Walter Hofmann founded the company HOFMANN in 1952 as a sole proprietorship for line marking.

With our wide product range, every facet of line marking technology is covered: from small machines up to road marking trucks.  

Products designed to costumer's specific requests, are a challenge for us. 

Clients profit by HOFMANN's close contacts to both R&D as well as practical application. Traditionally there is an annual meeting as HOFMANN's TECHNOLOGY DAY to enhance the communication of the participants in line marking: paint producers and ministerial authorities, roadmarkers and scientific tutors.

Expert advice and guidance for our customers from the point of purchase to commissioning as well as training by our engineers go without saying.

Modern communication and logistics systems guarantee a quick service and a rapid spare part supply worldwide.
