Our tools ensure the highest quality. The interaction between engineering, toolmaking and production means that they are constantly being further developed and innovations initiated. They are manufactured at the Krems site. 

Every year, 9,000 new tool rolls are required. They are manufactured from tool steel, hardened and subsequently reground.
Punching tools consist of column guides, punching units, punches and dies. They are designed to be interchangeable. 

Benefits

  • Time saving through pre-equipping - interchangeable panels are pre-equipped with the required tools: 
    Conversion time only 3 hours instead of the usual 16 hours.
  • In-house production - independence from tool suppliers and fast response time
