In 2001 HEINZ AUTOMATIONS-SYSTEME GmbH overtook the British company Manifold® Indexing Ltd. HEINZ continues to manufacture part of the traditionally high class original Manifold® products and has incorporated them into the HEINZ standard product range. Having purchased all MANIFOLD® intellectual property, documentation and archive records puts HEINZ  in the unique position to be able to supply spare parts for all existing MANIFOLD® indexers and to manufacture interchangeable replacements  for original MANIFOLD® units.
