In addition to our standard ranges, we also provide a wide range of tailored special solutions for customer-specific applications. We aim to provide the perfect wheel or castor to meet any requirement - even if your requirements are extremely specific. We will draw on our expertise and experience to develop your tailored special solution in partnership with you. You give us your requirements and we make them a reality. We handle every stage of the process: from the first design drawings through to calculations and the manufacturing itself. The components for our extensive standard range are manufactured in large quantities using highly automated processes. Special solutions are frequently based on these well-established standard components. This allows us to realise customer-specific solutions in a quick and cost-effective manner.

We know intralogistics! Despite increasingly complex logistical processes with increased digitalisation and greater use of robots, wheels and castors are still often at the heart of intralogistics. Exceptional reliability is therefore an essential feature. Blickle products ensure an ever faster and more efficient internal material flow, while at the same time helping to create ergonomic workplaces and 
prevent accidents. The new intralogistics magazine offers you 40 pages of valuable information about the key topics of ergonomics, efficiency and work safety. You will also discover our innovative solutions for a wide variety of challenges in intralogistics.

We know conveyor technology! Our customers have increasingly demanding standards for the wheels and castors used in conveyor technology. Systems used to transport people, goods and machinery have to be able to handle increasingly heavy loads reliably, particularly as these systems are often in use 24/7. Acceleration, motion and braking all produce extreme dynamic loads. Demand is high for tread materials capable of handling these dynamic loads without excessive heat build-up as speeds get faster and periods of downtime get shorter. These requirements can only be met with outstanding material competence and advanced manufacturing technology. The new conveyor technology magazine offers you 36 pages of valuable information about the key topics of efficiency, performance and precision. You will also discover our innovative solutions for a wide variety of challenges in conveyor technology.

In the first edition of our new application brochure series, we present tailor-made wheel and castor concepts for sensitive applications in the food industry. The 44-page ‘Food Industry’ brochure shows how we combine hygienic requirements with technical performance and aesthetic design.

Whether in processing, packaging or cleaning – wherever the highest hygiene and safety standards apply, Blickle products ensure reliable mobility.

The brochure presents three central solution areas:
Stainless steel castors: Maximum corrosion protection and long service life – for applications where hygiene, durability and load capacity are key.
Designer castors made of synthetic materials: Corrosion-resistant, easy-to-clean castors in a modern design – ideal for use in hygienically sensitive production areas.
Temperature-resistant wheels and castors: Made for extreme conditions – reliable solutions from -70°C to +300°C thanks to specialised materials and sophisticated design.

In an environment with the highest demands on cleanliness and functionality, we develop solutions that are not only hygienic and durable, but also future-proof. Our claim: Rethinking mobility – robust, precise, reliable.

Over the past 28 years, Nikkai KMO Co., Ltd has successfully represented the Blickle brand in Japan with great commitment and dedication. Following discussions it has been jointly decided to now separate the wheel and castor business of Nikkai to a new distribution company. We are therefore pleased to introduce to you Blickle Japan Wheels and Casters Corp. Ltd., with their headquarters based out of Osaka.

This strategic decision will not bring any personnel changes for our Blickle customers. Mr. Okamoto, managing director at Nikkai, will continue to handle all inquiries and concerns with the same care but now in his new role as managing director of the newly established Blickle wheel and castor company in Osaka.

By taking this step, we are expanding our global presence to 21 Blickle distribution companies across Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia. With this new arrangement, our valued customers in Japan will benefit from even shorter delivery times whilst continuing to receive benefits from the technical expertise of Blickle, the world leader in the wheel and castor industry.

We are pleased to announce the opening of another international Blickle sales subsidiary in Ho Chi Minh City. After more than ten years of successful cooperation with our long-standing partner Hoa Thinh, this is an important step in offering our customers even better local service in terms of product consulting and product availability.

The newly founded Blickle sales subsidiary is managed by Mrs Ly Vi Linh, who as managing director of our sales partner has contributed significantly to the successful development of the Vietnamese market for Blickle wheels and castors through many years. She is supported by Mr Le Tri Thong and Mr Nguyen Dinh Tien. We appreciate the trustful and successful cooperation over the past years and look forward to continuing this partnership as Team Blickle Vietnam.

With Blickle Vietnam, we are strengthening our market position in important industries such as automotive, food & beverage, electronics / semiconductor, aerospace and oil & gas. Our location in Ho Chi Minh City enables us to provide expert advice to our customers and supply the entire country quickly and efficiently. This is a decisive advantage in a geographically extensive market.

This expansion brings the number of our global sales subsidiaries to 23 in Europe, North America, South America, Australia and Asia. We look forward to providing our customers in Vietnam with even more direct support, innovative wheel and castor solutions and excellent service.

Aluminium profile systems have become indispensable in modern machine, plant and equipment construction. Blickle has now developed aluminium profile rollers that take these systems to a new level in terms of mobility. Blickle's brand new series of aluminium profile rollers sets standards in terms of flexibility, versatility and user-friendliness.

Blickle engineers have developed a comprehensive standard range of aluminium profile rollers that cover an almost endless range of applications. At the heart of this development are two specially designed mounting plates that ensure almost universal adaptability to any profile. This innovative design embodies the essence of simplicity and functionality. The standard range includes various industrial castors such as fixed castors or swivel castors with or without brakes.

Blickle additionally presents solutions for environments where electrostatic discharge is required. The electrically conductive aluminium profile castors not only guarantee maximum safety during transport, but also set new standards in terms of reliability.

Blickle Räder+Rollen GmbH u. Co. KG has once again been recognised for its commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR). In the latest assessment by the international platform EcoVadis, Blickle was once again able to achieve the silver medal. With 71 out of a possible 100 points, Blickle is among the top 8 per cent of all companies evaluated worldwide – a further improvement compared to last year, when the company was among the top 14 per cent.

Particularly encouraging: Blickle is among the top 3 per cent in its industry peer group – last year it was the top 6 per cent. ‘The continuous improvement of our ranking underlines our efforts to firmly anchor sustainability in all areas of our company,’ explains the management. Among the decisive factors for this year's excellent performance was the ISO 45001 certification for occupational health and safety management systems.

With this renewed certification, Blickle is demonstrating that sustainable business practices and the success of a family-owned company can go hand in hand – to the benefit of the environment, employees and all business partners.
