Requirements

What this industry demands.

In shipbuilding, components are large, heavy, and often custom-made: foundations, frames, as well as shaft and drive components require robust materials and precise interface dimensions so they can be assembled later without rework. Our strength lies in the combination of welding and large-scale machining under one roof.

Strengths

Our strengths here

Size as a Standard

Components up to 24 m in length and 160 t in weight are our daily business, not the exception.

Welding and Machining

Welded structures are finished directly in-house – without transport between facilities.

Individual Parts and Small Series

Production according to drawings, without surcharges for small quantities.

In-House Measurement Technology

The laser tracker inspects even components over 10 m without the need for external service providers.
