Sales on the Italian market were very successfully converted to a powerful and well-organized dealer network.

We were certified in accordance with DIN EN 9001:2015 by TÜV NORD CERT GmbH.

In January, the business activities of Zander Schweisstechnik in the track superstructure division were taken over and significantly expanded.

In 2014, our previous oven capacities were expanded by over 40% with the commissioning of another highly modern furnace.

New construction of production and management facilities in Leopoldshöhe (Asemissen Industrial Park). Our production facilities were expanded from 1100 to 1800 m² and our management offices were expanded from 400 to 800 m². In October, we relocated to Westring 48-50 in 33818 Leopoldshoehe.

We celebrated the 50 year anniversary of the capilla^® company.

We were certified in accordance with DIN EN 9001/2008

A subsidiary of the company was founded in Italy

We were certified in accordance with DIN EN 9001/2000

In December 2002, Rolf Sewing, the founder of capilla^® Schweißmaterialien GmbH, passed away.

The capilla^® company changes from a sole proprietorship to capilla^® Schweißmaterialien GmbH  (a limited company). With this, the existence of the company is guaranteed for the future.

We expanded our laboratory and installed a new spectral analysis machine. This allows us to analyze the chemical compositions of welded materials even more quickly and much more precisely; our machine is also available for the testing of client materials. The dimensions of the sample table allow analyses of materials with a thickness of up to 80 mm.

New staff are employed in the technical department and a new product range is developed. The technology department is reinforced. In particular, technical managers are reorganized and at the same time, a number of employees are recruited for different territories. Special electrodes for corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant stainless-steel casting are successfully introduced into the product range.

We are certified in accordance with DIN EN 9001 by TÜV-CERT. Our already comprehensive quality assurance is adjusted to the standards of DIN EN 9001, laid down in writing in a quality manual and spread to all departments belonging to capilla^®.

We expanded our production facilities, with the simultaneous construction of a second electrode production machine. As well as this, specific, customized special electrodes for coating hot working tools and electrodes for high-alloy corrosion-resistant steels are now included in the product range. The corresponding approvals from TÜV and DB are issued with the Ü symbol.

New construction of the plant at Lübberbrede 11, also in Bielefeld. Increased demand for high-quality welding filler materials from capilla^® makes a new construction of facilities unavoidable. The customer base in the forging industry had also expanded significantly at this point. As a result, the establishment of a new, larger production plant was necessary. Highly-modern production methods, combined with the continuous improvement of the quality of our products and the expansion of our product range enables capilla^® to supply to partners working in challenging conditions across the world at top speed.

We begin producing welding electrodes on our own production line. This had become a pressing issue. By taking this measure, we could continue to supply our customer base in the warm forming sector with new products within the space of a day.

The capilla^® company is founded as a trading company in Bielefeld. For the most part, our customers were in the building industry and established in the mining sector.
