Rheological testing instrument since 1962

GÖTTFERT Werkstoff-Prüfmaschinen GmbH was founded in 1962 by Prof. Dr. Otto Göttfert. In the second generation his son Dr. Axel Göttfert took over the leadership as sole managing director.
On the world market the medium-sized organization is well known as one of the leading companies in the niche field of rheological testing instruments. The innovative rheological systems are globally installed in laboratories as well as in production settings. 

In order to be closer to many of our customers, a subsidiary company was opened in Rock Hill, South Carolina, USA in 1989. In 2011 the GOETTFERT (China) Limited located in Beijing and Shanghai was started. 

From pioneer to world market leader
