In 1982, Boockmann GmbH Elektrowerkstoffe was founded by Annedore and Gerhard Boockmann
as a distribution and consulting company for electrical insulating products (wire
enamel, impregnating resin, insulating varnish, varnish for insulating hoses) for
electrical coils in motors, transformers and ballasts.

In 1987, engineering and project development of emission-reduced and energy-saving
impregnating plants with integrated cleaning of waste air were added.

In 1991, the field of activities was expanded by the solvent-free HELILUB® technology
for lubrication of round magnet wire (enamelled wire) utilizing wax-impregnated yarns.
Up to now, far more than 4,000 magnet wire production lines have been equipped with
HELILUB®.

In 2003, the meanwhile patented HELICORD® technology for various types of surface
treatment such as cleaning or coating was launched.Today HELICORD® machines and cords
are used in industrial production of solid wire, flux-cored welding wire, stranded wire
and tubes made of mild steel, stainless steel and for wire, strands and tubes of copper,
aluminum and different alloys as well as for insulated cables and optical fiber
worldwide.

Around 2013, the first types of Welding Wire Finishing cords were widely introduced to
the market. Approaching the task of surface finishing in a completely different way from
other processes, this new generation of Boockmann products opened a new field of
possibilities to the welding wire industry.

In 2014, Boockmann GmbH Elektrowerkstoffe changed its name to Boockmann Engineering
GmbH, representing the shift of activities.

In 2015, Boockmann’s HELICORD® machines underwent a facelift, that provided more
operator friendliness and easier maintenance.

In 2016, the well-established HELILUB® devices were re-designed for better operator
friendliness and performance. Based on this re-design, the HELIFIL family of machines
was launched. It closes the gap between strong and versatile, but large HELICORD®
machines and small HELILUB® devices that are suitable only for a limited field of
applications.
