About Wachendorff Automation GmbH & Co. KG

Wachendorff Automation is an owner-managed German encoder specialist based in Geisenheim in the Rheingau, where management, research and development, production, warehouse and logistics and all central services are located at Industriestraße 7. The company, which describes itself as the encoder experts, develops and manufactures incremental and absolute encoders and measuring systems designed for the most extreme operating conditions, plus digital shaft copying systems for elevators and length-measurement systems. Its patented technologies anchor the current range: QuattroMag magnetic single-turn sensing delivers up to 16-bit resolution with high accuracy and fast dynamic response, while EnDra multi-turn technology counts several million revolutions without overflow and without batteries or gears.

New Universal-IE absolute encoders let users select PROFINET, EtherCAT or EtherNet/IP by click via a web server, reducing variant stocking. Draw-wire systems pair Wachendorff encoders with precision mechanics for compact position measurement, used heavily in mobile hydraulics. Sister sales companies in Chicago, USA, and Suzhou, China, support partners and customers outside Europe, alongside a distributor network. Every encoder is assembled end-to-end under one employee’s responsibility, a production model the company presents as a quality guarantee. For directory partners, Wachendorff is a focused encoder supplier for machine builders that need rugged absolute feedback and easy cross-platform replacement of discontinued encoders.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	7 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	9 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.
