The idea to start with was to further develop the standard torque multipliers into precise torque electric wrenches, in order to be able to fill the gap between hand-operated multipliers and hydraulic wrenches. The result was the introduction of the first precise torque electric wrench of up to 6000 Nm in the world. This major market success gave the Company the impetus to work on innovative new developments in the future. Numerous patents and globally unique torque wrenches have been the consequence of these efforts. Today L?SOMAT – Schraubtechnik Neef GmbH is a high-tech centre for innovative product developments and individual solutions in the bolt technology sector. An in-house development department, a depth of production of well over 90% on the most modern machines, and an excellent level of service, are the guarantee for Made in Germany. Company History 2008L?SOMAT becomes member of the Gedore-Group. 2007L?SOMAT presents a world innovation: The L?SOMAT battery operated high torque wrench up to 4000 Nm. L?SOMAT surpasses itself with a new planetary gearing generation, which is even lighter, even more robust and even more resistant. L?SOMAT presents Modular Hydraulic Units: For the first time in modern power-pack technology, the modular L?SOMAT HRPU series now makes it possible to configure hydraulic units individually to customer requirements. Each module is capable of being added at a later time. 2006 Introduction of a QM system and certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 in just four months. Expansion of the sales network in Germany and Europe. L?SOMAT captured new markets in China and India. 2005 Management of the Company was transferred to qualified engineer (FH) Marc Gareis. L?SOMAT developed and patented the first automatic control in the world for hydraulic units without any sensors in the hydraulic wrench. 2003 L?SOMAT developed the smallest hydraulic wrench in the world. 1998 A new production hall was built on the Companys site and the production of hydraulic wrenches was increased to more than 1000 pieces per annum. 1997 The square drive wrench was completely revised from a technical point of view, and formed the foundation of particularly compact and light hydraulic square drive wrenches, up to 27.000 Nm. 1996 The L?SOMAT hydraulic cassette wrench set new standards with respect to size and weight, up to 24.000 Nm. The electric wrench shines in its new glory. 1994 Further development of the already proven L?SOMAT electric wrench into the L?SOMAT steel construction wrench in a particularly robust version for HT bolts in steel construction from M 20 – M 36 in straight and angled wrench versions. Increase in efficiency of all planetary gearings by 25%. 1992 The Company moved into a larger administration and production building, in Fuchsloch in Vaihingen/Enz. Further development of the L?SOMAT electric angled wrench LEW-60 L, a special version for Liebherr (crane technology). 1991 Modification of the L?SOMAT electric wrench in the angled power gear shape for narrow bolt connections. The L?SOMAT electric angled wrench opened new applications in bolt technology, especially in limited spaces. 1990 The L?SOMAT side power wrench sets new standards with its patented tandem gear pulley. 1988 Pioneering development and introduction to the market of the L?SOMAT precise torque electric wrench, which reached 13.000 Nm for the first time. Patent granted for this world innovation. In the same year, the first L?SOMAT precise torque pneumatic wrench, up to 13.000 Nm, with pressure and torque monitoring, was created. Its introduction was a complete success. 1987 The Company started to produce its own mechanical torque multipliers. 1985 L?SOMAT developed a square drive wrench with patented ratchet system. The first generation of L?SOMAT hydraulic wrenches with square drive was born. 1984 The Company started to sell its own torque wrenches under the brand L?SOMAT. The start of a success story. 1981 The first self-releasing counter wrench in the world to "counter hold" difficult bolt connections was introduced to the market and patented. 1975 The sale of hydraulic wrenches was added. 1972 Foundation of a sales agency for bolt technology by Peter Neef, at that time with mechanical torque multipliers.
