December 22nd 2023 - Families instead of give-aways


We wish all families who do not enjoy the blessings of healthy children a merry Christmas! Hopefully our donation can contribute a little bit in dealing with this challenge.

 


 

 

September 14th 2023 - Cardboard recycling


Although it is just a small extension of our equipment it is nonetheless sustainable. With our new cardboard shredder we create perfect filling material for our shipping department from waste. By doing so we are able to replace most of the plastic filling chips we have used so far.

September 22nd 2022 - Acceptance testing of new cylindrical grinding machine


Finally! Our new grinding machine has been assembled to production ready status. First test samples are machined at the manufacturing site in Ulm to check the production capabilites. Two to three weeks of patience are still required before commissioning takes place at our facility in Schwallungen. From then we will be able to offer a large spectrum of preforms within shortest lead times.

August 20th 2022 - summer happening

Each year the chamber of architecture in the German state of Thuringia organises an event presenting several accomplished buildings featuring special designs to the public. We took the opportunity to invite any interested folk to have a closer look at our new workplace. Robert Ilgen, the architect who has overseen the development of the building, was available to answer questions regarding details. 

 

 

 

May 17th 2022 - GrindingHub: International Trade Fair for Grinding Technology


The first ever GrindingHub exhibition has taken place in Stuttgart. With an already exhausted exhibition budget we have been present with a rather small booth only. Nonetheless quality matters. Many interesting conversations underlined this approach. Thank you.

After almost 2 years of construction we have finally moved office to our new premises within the same industrial park. Step by step the whole company has been relocated in April without major interruptions to operations. The architecture of our new building is founded on the requirements and internal processes of our business. Providing excellent working conditions shall enable us to tackle the daily challenges of the market.

March 15th 2022 - GrindTec: International Trade Fair for Grinding Technology


After cancellation of the event in 2020 it was about time for GrindTec to open the gates again from 15th to 18th of March in Augsburg. Despite several interesting conversations only few visitors have made their way to attend. It remains to be seen whether the exhibition continues to exist in the long run considering the newly launched GrindingHub targeting the same audience.

December 21st 2021 - A different Christmas Party ...


Two years of restrictions due to the corona pandemic and no end in sight. It appears already odd to have many people sitting at a table in one room celebrating the upcoming Christmas festivities. In times like these you have to be flexible. So we decided to utilise our rooftop for a gathering. The regional trademark Bratwurst (sausage) must not be missed. Some hot wine helps to ignore freezing point temperatures. The weather played its part by sending some rays of sunshine.
