A passion for welding
With around 50 employees, the company may not be one of the biggest, but it places great emphasis on ‘welding expertise’. Company founder Dipl.-Ing. Wilhelm Krüger senior, together with his sons Dipl.-Ing. Wilhelm Krüger junior and Masch.-Ing. Martin Krüger and the complete team, dispose of joining technology know-how that is in demand around the globe.
In the field of welding technology, its welding engineers are proficient in many high-tech joining processes: “Rather than standard procedures, our main focus is on the manufacture of high-quality, series-ready components and special designs in many material combinations. Wherever an intricate metallurgical task presents itself, we recognise the challenge and address ourselves to this exciting assignment,” says Wilhelm Krüger senior.
Further specialities of the company are the high level of vertical integration and a high-tech machine park that comprises more machines than employees. In addition to a Yaskawa welding robot, it includes laser, plasma and flame cutters as well as bending machines, press brakes and automatic saws in a variety of designs, and everything else a metal processing company needs to independently produce welding constructions.
“Thanks to this equipment, today we are able to supply our customers in the engineering, plant and rail vehicle construction industries with complex welded assemblies and system components from one source. Our extensive machine park gives us the advantage that we can apply the most effective technology for every scenario without time-consuming retooling,” says Wilhelm Krüger senior. “The instant availability of the technology, high level of vertical integration and our own jig construction ensure maximum flexibility. We can deliver quickly, reliably and in best manufacturing quality – and that is greatly appreciated by our customers all over the world”.
