1 Sand Casting and Forging Cu Alloys

2 The ZOLLERN Group ZOLLERN is one of the pioneers of the metal industry. 3,000 employees at 14 production locations and seven subsidiaries in Europe, North and South America and Asia develop, manufacture and supervise a range of innovative metal products. ZOLLERN supplies sophisticated solutions for diverse applications through its business units drive technology, plain bearing technology, foundry technology, mechanical engineering elements and steel profiles.

3 Forging - Superior quality forging 02 // 03 Forging Superior quality forging ZOLLERN has been active in the area of non-cutting metal forming of copper and copper alloys through forging for more than 0 years. In the meantime, the transformation from purely manual production of the past to industrial production been consummated. Today, forgings and semi-finished products are manufactured through the use of forging hammers, a hydraulic forging press with 1,600 t compressive force, a pipe and extrusion press, as well as with a ring-rolling mill. The required ingoing material is largely produced in-house. Equipped with highly modern CNC machines, our machining workshops manufacture pre-processed or finished single or volume production parts from forgings or semi-finished products according to customer drawings. In the laboratory and materials inspection, all standard destructive and non-destructive tests and examinations are available. Production is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 : 8. For us, quality and delivery reliability are the prerequisites for success on the national and international market.
