Laser Competence Centre
Installation and commissioning of the first Laser Competence Centre (LCC) at the Leopoldshöhe site – state-of-the-art technology for coating, repair and additive manufacturing.
capilla® Schweißmaterialien GmbH
capilla® is a leading manufacturer of high-quality welding consumables and welding materials, headquartered in Leopoldshöhe near Bielefeld. Since its founding in 1959, the company has developed from a regional trading business into an internationally active specialist in welding technology, wear protection and hardfacing.
Our product programme encompasses welding consumables for all common welding processes – from manual metal arc welding through MIG/MAG and TIG welding to flux-cored wire and submerged arc welding. It is complemented by specialised services: component and material testing in our in-house capiLab, reverse engineering, wear protection through hardfacing and modern laser technologies in the Laser Competence Centre.
With a PhD-led analysis laboratory, ISO 9001 certification and over 65 years of experience, capilla® sets global standards in quality, precision and technical consulting.
What We Stand For
Our work is based on clear principles. They determine how we think, decide and act.
Family Strength
No corporate structure, close and personally accountable. We go the extra mile for international customers because at capilla it is about genuine relationships and long-term trust.
Deep Expertise
Our consulting and solutions provide solid grounding. Deep know-how meets practical intuition: we recognise connections early, think in terms of applications and make processes safer worldwide.
Forward Vision
We think further than the next delivery. With foresight, sound consulting and clear recommendations we create solutions that hold tomorrow as well and provide long-term security for international customers.
Humanity
We work respectfully, down-to-earth and at eye level, internally and externally. Even when speed is required, we remain clear, fair and reliable in our interactions.
Solution Pride
We listen, ask questions and only move forward when it truly fits. This produces individual solutions rather than standards, precisely tailored to the situation, application and goal.
Tailwind
Fast, flexible and reliable, so that standstill becomes progress again, even in a crisis. We respond promptly, take a pragmatic approach and stay on it until it works.
A Team That Takes Responsibility.
Behind capilla stands a team of specialists who know their craft.
Technically grounded, practically oriented and committed to finding the right solution for every application.
