Quality through Experience
For more than 100 years waffle makers have been produced in the Neumärker Manufactory. And still the long-time employees of our family business carefully manufacture the devices from the Neumärker Manufactory by hand.
The Neumärker Manufactory exists in Hemer Westig since the early 20th century. The industrial region of South Westphalia is characterised by a profound middle-class culture and is one of the most important industrial regions in Germany with a focus on the manufacturing sector. Based in the green idyll of Hemer, the Neumärker Manufaktur today breathes life into professional gastronomy appliances.
The history of the Neumärker Manufactory began as an iron foundry where electric waffle makers and flat irons were already being produced during the early 1920s. The production of professional contact grills for the catering industry also began over 50 years ago. The long experience with iron casting and metal processing as well as the down-to-earth and sincere manner of the people from the Sauerland made Neumärker what it is today. Longevity, personal contact and trust characterise the values of the company and its employees.
The manufactory seal shows you the original Neumärker products from German manual production.
Tradition and modernity are not contradictory - The solid foundation and the success of our company which persists since 1894 is built on this presumption. Through the production of waffle irons over 100 years we have acquired a unique wealth of experience in the field of metal casting and steel processing; especially in the thermal application of cast iron, such as waffle irons, contact grills and crêpes appliances. Our company can look back on a long tradition but has never closed its mind to progress.
Maintaining a production in Germany means to face the low-price competition with courage and to define oneself by a high quality of workmanship.
The attitude towards maintaining a production site in Germany makes the company a community of committed employees. They pay attention to our manufacturing quality every day. Every single one of them is part of the common goal: to develop high-quality products and to be successful on the market with satisfied customers.
"Quality is the result of a carefully constructed cultural environment. It has to be the fabric of the organization, not part of the fabric." - Quote from Philip B. Crosby.
The baking plates from the foundry are carefully reworked by hand. Threads are cut, edges are ground and the surface of our crêpe plates is elaborately milled.
The original Neumärker appliances are then assembled in our manufactory by our long-time employees. The production islands can be set up flexibly, depending on which appliances are currently being built.

The importance of human being
A company is not a mere organisation but a place where people come together to create something special which matters. Exactly these people are the core of our company and enrich us with everyone’s own character, their goals and abilities.
Solidarity and team spirit
We try to avoid rivalry within our company because only team spirit and solidarity enables us to cope with the daily challenges.

Entrepreneur within the company
We at Neumärker see every employee as an entrepreneur within the company – so called intrapreneur. Being an intrapraneur means to proactively contribute with their own ideas and to continuously improve our company's environment every single day.
