Dear Sir or Madam, 

Innovation, quality, and customized solutions - these values shape our daily work. With the successful delivery of two more horizontal straightening presses and the first-time certification of our quality management system according to the ISO 9001 standard, we are pleased to share two important milestones with you. Both represent what characterizes us as a company: technical expertise, the highest quality standards, and close collaboration with our customers.

With the successful delivery of two additional horizontal straightening presses, each with a pressing force of 4,000 kN, we have once again successfully completed a complex customer project. The modular systems, featuring horizontal machine beds 8.8 m and 10.5 m long, respectively, will be used in the future for straightening forged rings and stand out for their high flexibility and performance.

Thanks to the movable counter-bearing, rings of different diameters can be straightened on the same machine. In addition, removable counter bolts of various sizes enable not only the straightening of the ring as a whole but also targeted segment-by-segment straightening. The result is a cost-effective and versatile solution for a wide variety of workpiece geometries.

A distinctive feature of the machines is the optimized design of the machine beds. Using extensive FEM analyses, these were designed to achieve ergonomic working heights without the need to construct a machine pit. This reduces the customer’s construction costs while simultaneously simplifying operation and maintenance.
From development and design to control technology, manufacturing, and assembly, our straightening presses are produced entirely in-house. Thanks to this high degree of vertical integration, we develop custom-built special-purpose machines that are precisely tailored to our customers’ requirements - from individual machines to small production lots. Together with our customers, we create solutions that sustainably increase productivity, process reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

For us, quality is far more than just a certificate - it is an integral part of our daily work. Through our long-standing collaboration with renowned companies in the furniture and automotive industries, we have established structured, transparent, and reliable processes over the decades that ensure a consistently high level of quality for our customers.

We are therefore all the more pleased that our quality management system has now been certified to ISO 9001 for the first time. This certification officially confirms what we have been practicing for many years: a consistent focus on quality, continuous improvement, and the reliable fulfillment of our customers’ requirements.

For our customers, this means added assurance - and the confidence that they are working with a partner who not only promises the highest quality standards but also delivers on them every day.

Whether it’s high-performance straightening presses, special-purpose machinery, or customized automation solutions - we work with you to develop solutions that are precisely tailored to your needs. From the initial idea through design and manufacturing to commissioning, we provide everything you need from a single source.

Contact us. We look forward to learning about your challenge and working with you to develop the right solution.
