Made in Germany -- From Our Own Production

Evotec GmbH is a family-run company in the second generation, founded in 2000 in Arnsberg, North Rhine-Westphalia. Managing Director Dominik Peck leads the company with the same commitment to quality and personal service that has defined Evotec since day one.

The pallet jack safety system is manufactured entirely in Germany at our Arnsberg facility. On over 12,000 m² of production area, we operate our own stamping presses and a fully equipped welding shop. After stamping and welding, the brackets are sent to a specialist partner for zinc electroplating with blue chromate passivation, ensuring professional corrosion protection with full quality control throughout the process.

With over 25 years of experience in metal processing, we bring deep expertise in stamping, forming, and welding to every product we make. The pallet jack safety system is our own proprietary product, developed in-house to solve a real problem we observed in the transport industry: unsecured pallet jacks sliding across truck platforms during transit.

How the Pallet Jack Safety System Is Manufactured

From Steel Sheet to Finished Product -- All In-House

The manufacturing process for the pallet jack safety system leverages the full range of Evotec's metalworking capabilities. Each unit passes through several production stages, all carried out at our Arnsberg facility:

  • Stamping and Forming: The base plate and bracket components are precision-stamped from steel sheet on our in-house press lines. Our stamping technology allows us to produce complex geometries with tight tolerances in high volumes, ensuring every bracket fits perfectly.
  • Welding: The stamped components are assembled and joined in our welding shop using MAG welding. Skilled welders ensure strong, clean weld seams that provide the structural integrity required for a load securing device.
  • Surface Treatment: After welding, every unit is zinc electroplated with blue chromate passivation. The zinc electroplating with blue chromate passivation provides a durable, corrosion-resistant finish rated for outdoor use in all weather conditions.
  • Quality Inspection: Each finished bracket undergoes visual and dimensional inspection before packaging. Our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system (certified by TUV Nord) ensures consistent quality across every production batch.
  • Packaging and Dispatch: The system is packaged as a complete kit including the bracket, all mounting hardware, a drill template, and illustrated installation instructions. Dispatch is directly from our facility -- no warehousing intermediaries.

Because we control every production step in-house, we can guarantee short lead times, consistent quality, and the flexibility to accommodate custom orders or large volume requirements.

Quality and Certification

Certified Processes, Certified Product

Quality at Evotec is not just a label -- it is embedded in our processes. Our production operates under an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, audited and certified by TUV Nord. This means documented procedures, traceable materials, and systematic quality checks at every production stage.

The pallet jack safety system itself carries an additional, product-specific certification: the DEKRA certificate. DEKRA independently tested the safety bracket for its load securing function, structural integrity, and effectiveness under simulated transport conditions. The certificate confirms that our system reliably secures hand pallet jacks on truck loading platforms in accordance with applicable load securing standards.

For our customers, these certifications provide tangible benefits: the ISO 9001 certificate guarantees that every unit leaving our facility meets the same high standard, while the DEKRA certificate provides documented proof of compliance that satisfies transport inspectors, insurers, and auditors.

Our Partner Network

While we perform all core manufacturing steps in-house -- stamping and welding -- we work with trusted partner companies for specialised processes such as toolmaking. Rather than maintaining our own tool shop, we collaborate with experienced toolmaking partners who build and maintain the stamping dies and forming tools used in our production. This approach allows us to access top-tier toolmaking expertise while keeping our focus on what we do best: high-quality metal processing and product manufacturing.

These long-standing partnerships, some spanning over two decades, are built on mutual trust and shared quality standards. Our partners understand our requirements, and we maintain close collaboration to ensure tooling precision and reliability.

Evotec GmbH -- More Than Just Pallet Jack Safety Systems

Evotec GmbH is a medium-sized metal processing company with a broad range of services. The pallet jack safety system is our own proprietary product, but it represents just one facet of our manufacturing capabilities. We serve customers across the automotive, logistics, industrial equipment, and building technology sectors with the following services:

  • Contract Stamping -- Stamped and formed parts from steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and copper. From prototypes to series production runs of millions of pieces.
  • Special Machinery -- Custom-engineered machines and automated production systems designed and built to your specific requirements.
  • Control Systems -- Electrical switchgear construction and PLC programming for industrial automation and machine control.
  • Assembly Services -- Ready-to-install assemblies combining stamped parts, machined components, and purchased parts into complete functional units.
  • Welding Fixtures -- Custom welding jigs and fixtures for repeatable, high-precision welded assemblies.

This broad manufacturing expertise is what makes the pallet jack safety system possible. Stamping and welding happen in-house at Evotec GmbH in Arnsberg, while the zinc plating is carried out by a trusted external partner — ensuring a professional, long-lasting surface finish.
