FIBRO standard parts represent the highest level of precision. Thanks to high availability, short lead times, first-class service and an outstanding price/ performance ratio, we are market leader worldwide, with close relationships to our customers. The Business Unit Standard Parts operates out of the FIBRO plants in Hassmersheim and Weinsberg. These plants manufacture, warehouse and ship an extensive line of standard parts around the world - even just in time. The product line for the tool & die making, mould making and machinery building industries includes steel die sets, guide elements, oilless guide elements, precision parts such as cutting punches and bushes, compression springs, gas springs offering maximum safety, chemical tooling aids, metal glue and cast resins, peripheral equipment for presses and tool manufacture, tool slides with cam, roller or hydraulic drive. The consistently high quality of our standard parts can be attributed to ongoing quality inspections starting with the raw material and ending with the finished product. For wearing parts in particular, e.g. punches, this allows us to achieve longer service lives from which our customers benefit in the form of considerable cost savings. For us, precision is the beginning and the end. This applies to all elements in a tool. Especially since the proper functioning of a tool is determined by the quality of its individual parts. FIBRO standard parts are a synonym for maximum precision and reliability in the tool & die making, mould making and machinery building industries. And this is what experienced technicians value.
