The foundation of punker GmbH Apparatebau und Wärmetechnik on April 1, 1954 in Eckernförde, Schleswig-Holstein, by Hans Flensfeldt laid the foundation for the success story of the punker Group. Since then, punker has become the world's leading specialist and pioneer in the development and production of centrifugal fan wheels, cross-flow impellers and tangential fans made of metal. The high quality, sophisticated geometries, competent advice and high flexibility is due to the approximately 425 highly motivated employees of the punker group. Every employee is proud to be a part of it and is ready to continue this history successfully.
