Company
Our corporate headquarter is designed to suit the way we work: straight-lined, and transparent. With an open architectural style that connects and encourages interaction. With a spatial concept that promotes teamwork yet maintains focus on attaining our shared success.
Development and design. Project management and customer contact. Fabrication and assembly. Outgoing testing and shipping. We do not let anyone else take care of your safety – we handle everything ourselves.
“Fulfilling the quality expectations of our customers is the top priority in all corporate processes.” That core tenet of our philosophy demonstrates: Quality is a fundamental principle to which we are committed.
The Safety Company
We are the specialists

Alongside our broad product portfolio, we offer unique consulting and solution-delivering expertise to meet any challenge.
Supreme experience
It was back in 1979 that SITEMA developed the first system enabling the transmission of high braking forces of hydraulic elevators by friction directly on the piston rod. This new technology was the foundation for ongoing development and diversifi cation into a wide variety of different clamping heads. Today, SITEMA manufactures hydraulically, pneumatically, mechanically and electrically operated clamping heads for many different applications.
