The Legacy of Armatec Vierhaus GmbH and EUROTECH’s Continued Support for Flat Suction Cup Spare Parts

The Legacy of Armatec Vierhaus GmbH and EUROTECH’s Continued Support for Flat Suction Cup Spare Parts

Many customers in the glass industry have long relied on Armatec Vierhaus GmbH for its innovative vacuum handling solutions, particularly the flat suction cups used in a variety of glass processing and lifting systems. However, finding information about Armatec Vierhaus GmbH and its spare parts can often be a challenge. The reason for this is simple: in 2003, Armatec Vierhaus GmbH was acquired by Bystronic, a global leader in laser cutting and automation solutions, and as a result, much of the information regarding their legacy products has become less visible over time.

Despite this transition, the demand for flat suction cups—including the widely used BLSP 200PK and BLSP 280PK—has not diminished. These vacuum cups continue to be used in many vacuum lifters and vacuum handling devices, and several customers are still searching for spare parts for these solutions, unaware that support is still available.

The History Behind Armatec Vierhaus GmbH

Founded in 1983Armatec Vierhaus GmbH was known for its precision-engineered equipment for laminated safety glass processing and handling. Their vacuum handling systems, including the vacuum cups, were crucial in helping industries manage heavy glass components safely and efficiently.

In 2003, Armatec Vierhaus GmbH was acquired by Bystronic, leading to the rebranding of the company under the Bystronic Armatec GmbH name. As Bystronic expanded its focus into the glass industry, much of the original Armatec Vierhaus GmbH’s operations were integrated into Bystronic’s larger portfolio. Over time, the availability of spare parts for their vacuum handling devices became increasingly difficult to trace, as the company’s operations shifted more toward new technologies and products.
