Locations
More space, more capacity
Weiden
Stahl- und Anlagenbau GmbH
With the purchase of the production halls in Weiden, we have enlarged our production area to approx. 6,000 m² and increased our fabrication capacity to approx. 7,000 tonnes per year.
Our production line (steel drilling, sawing and milling line, built in 2021) enables the digital processing of steel sections up to 1,000 mm wide. With the latest technology – blasting to Sa 2½, drilling, milling, marking, scribing, coping, thread cutting, sawing – we are moving ever further towards Industry 4.0. The new production hall enables us to provide contract fabrication for structural steelwork, industrial buildings and industry.
Mantel
Tanks and Process Equipment
Following the relocation of Stahl- und Anlagenbau GmbH, we were able to enlarge our production area at the Mantel site to 4,000 m². Further investments in digital machines for tank fabrication followed.
