Otto`s Original - Quality products since 1901
Rich in tradition
Quality promise
The name "Emil Otto" has stood for the highest quality since 1901. As an owner-managed company in the fifth generation, we have dedicated ourselves to the development and manufacture of high-quality products for metal surface treatment and metal joining technology. In particular, our fluxes for electronics production, strip tinning, radiator construction and galvanizing are used by market leaders at home and abroad.
Customer-centered
Manufacturing excellence
Reliable products and a high level of customer orientation have become our hallmarks over the years. Our production is carried out according to the latest standards and our quality and environmental management has been certified for many years. We fulfill all customer specifications and respond flexibly to customer requests. Special products or product adaptations are developed and implemented in cooperation with plant manufacturers and institutes.
Stable
Quality investment
Emil Otto continuously invests in product development in order to deliver consistent quality at all times. A high level of chemical know-how, the many years of experience of our employees and a high level of customer orientation guarantee you products of the highest quality.
Let us convince you of our products, our many years of experience and our customer service.

Innovation leader
To be an innovative leader in fluxes, you have to have an excellent knowledge of the markets, because only then can a company develop innovative solutions for existing challenges on the customer side. This applies not only to specialty products, but also to products in different application areas, such as Emil Otto's fluxes. These can be used in electronics production, metal processing and in the solar industry.
The requirements for the mechanical connection and electrical contacting of solar cells to solar modules are very similar to those for contacting in the electronics industry. Emil Otto's products are high-performance alternatives to established fluxes that no longer meet the current requirements of the solar industry in areas such as process efficiency, purchasing costs, error reduction and minimization of ancillary production costs. These quality fluxes, which can be used across all industries, are only available from the innovation leader.

Supply guarantor
There is a saying that unusual measures are needed in unusual times. Is it therefore unusual to continue to be able to deliver reliably in times of pandemic, high energy costs, economic uncertainty and global crises and the associated declining resources on the commodity markets? Or should this be taken for granted as standard?
This is a matter of course for Emil Otto as part of its customer focus. This is because Emil Otto's customers trust that they will be supplied reliably and on time in order to keep their own production running. Emil Otto assumes this responsibility and is therefore a guarantor of supply for all customers and industries.

Product innovator
Emil Otto is to some extent unrivaled worldwide, as some products are only developed, manufactured and distributed by Emil Otto. Whether it is water- and alcohol-based fluxes with a uniform activator system to avoid cross-reactions, flux concentrates or etching solutions for titanium applications in metal processing, Emil Otto is fully committed to this philosophy of innovation.
The prerequisite for this is openness towards the customer and their industry, recognizing problems, evaluating customer challenges and developing a solution for the customer and therefore often for an entire industry. It is also important to break new ground in product development and never give up, but to solve challenges and meet customer needs as a product innovator.

Process stabilizer
A production process is only as stable as its weakest link. That is why Emil Otto is also working on special flux solutions to stabilize every soldering process in electronics production and make it more reliable. A good example of this is the flux cover, which is used to coat the surfaces of component connections and provides reliable, solderable protection. The Flux-Cover ensures a good soldering result, especially for components that are difficult to wet, such as THT components with nickel-brass pins.
The coating of component connections is applied by dipping the connections into the flux cover. The subsequent wave soldering process can be carried out as usual, i.e. the selected parameters generally do not need to be changed. The Flux-Cover is compatible with all Emil Otto fluxes.

Process minimizer
Emil Otto's goal is to minimize processes on the customer side. Emil Otto therefore offers no-clean fluxes that do not require a subsequent cleaning process. We achieve this by paying attention to high-quality preliminary products when purchasing materials, which avoid subsequent cleaning processes due to their quality. However, good preliminary products are only half the battle, because it is only through our own production and our own in-house test procedures that we can develop and offer fluxes of the highest quality.
This means that these fluxes lead to the best soldering results, which also minimizes subsequent rework on the assembly. That is why we are a Process minimizerbecause our customers can eliminate or reduce individual process steps in their production.

Reliability improver
Emil Otto invests a lot of time in developing the best products for demanding tasks in its own laboratory. Because only reliable consumables guarantee reliable end products. Many of our customers manufacture end products that are safety-relevant for us, such as brakes, drives, camera systems, sensors and automation solutions. Reliability is the top priority for these systems. That is why we are constantly working on new, even better solutions in our laboratory. In doing so, we draw on the current know-how of our chemists as well as the formulations and experience that we have gathered over more than 100 years of company history.
These capabilities make us a reliability improver, and our customers and their product reliability benefit from this endeavor.

Quality maximizer
Thanks to our development work, the materials we use, our careful in-house production and our centuries of experience, Emil Otto is able to offer high-quality products. This product philosophy determines our daily actions, because our customers expect this from us. This also means that we work with partners who share the same philosophy.
Because of this focus and these partnerships, we are a quality maximizer for our customers.

Cost reducer
Less rework, completely eliminated or reduced cleaning processes and our fluxes from the Multiflux range, which can be used for wave and selective soldering, manual and repair soldering as well as dip soldering, reduce our customers' manufacturing costs. The same applies to our water-based fluxes or concentrates, which minimize transport and storage costs as they are not hazardous goods. Emil Otto is always interested in keeping costs as low as possible for its customers.
That is why we are a cost reducer that is constantly finding new cost-saving solutions for our customers thanks to our innovations, flexible research and development and high level of chemical expertise.
