Our success story continues
Although the banking crisis in 2008/2009 caused a slump in sales for several months, the economic downturn was ultimately compensated for by service, spare parts and the carousel lathes with a long project planning period.
Sales of heavy horizontal lathes began, and we were able to win some well-known customers in the area of plant and turbine construction.
In addition to the USA and South Africa, our connections in the aluminum wheel industry also took us to India and China several times. The overhaul of machine assemblies or even complete machines was a further mainstay in our activities. Fortunately, we were able to recruit highly qualified employees who made the first steps into automation possible.

Fortunately, we were able to recruit highly qualified employees who made the first steps into automation possible. Collaboration with our driving force IMT, both in the area of lathes for the aluminum wheel industry and in the area of vertical lathes, became increasingly difficult. Since there was no viable concept for the future in sight, we began designing our own vertical lathe for the aluminum wheel industry in 2014. The step from sales representative to mechanical engineer was made. As a result, the hall area was doubled to around 800m².
