Anyone visiting WuM Werkzeug- und Maschinenbau GmbH in Mühlhausen, Thuringia, will get an impression of the end products that are manufactured using their tools from the entrance lobby. WuM machines high-precision stamping tools for the automotive industry on a TILTENTA 7, an ACURA 85 and a FORTE 11.

Founded as a supplier to the textile industry, MEM Maschinenbau GmbH from Ahaus is now closed in special machinery, systems and steel construction. With the purchase of an ACURA 65 MARATHON in 2021, the operation led by Managing Director Hans-Jürgen Marx took the plunge into production automation - and it is paying off today.

"We at WVG Alu tec from Bad Arolsen have known HEDELIUS for many years and are already something of a family. And where do you trust each other more than within a family?" That's why Gruhs is proud of the "latest achievement", as he puts it: the TILTENTA 7-3200 5-axis machining centre with swivelling spindle and two integrated NC rotary tables.

"After work, the ACURA 65 EL and the BMO Platinum continue to work for us." Jan Inboden and his colleagues are delighted with the reliable technology from HEDELIUS. ERO GmbH from Simmern in Hunsrück is a prime example of a family business that has grown healthily.

Tscharner Mechanik AG is a small manufacturing company in Prättigau. From the very beginning, founder Bruno Tscharner has focussed on automation. The latest investment is a fully automated production cell with the ACURA 65 5-axis machining centre from HEDELIUS.

Just over 20 years ago, master mechanical engineer Thomas Claaßen took the plunge into self-employment. Today, the Claaßen Group from Scharrel in the Oldenburger Münsterland region employs 250 people in four companies. A clear philosophy and continuous investment, including in automated machining centres from HEDELIUS, have made this development possible.

The SOLLICH KG is the worldwide market leader for chocolate processing machines. The family business from Bad Salzuflen in East Westphalia faced a major challenge when it came to modernising its chipping machinery. Increasingly complex single parts in a wide range of sizes and lengths have to be manufactured flexibly and efficiently. In HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik, the company found a partner who could make this possible.

The Trissler & Kielkopf GmbH is located in Reutlingen, at the "gateway to the Swabian Alb". Since the early 1990s, Peter and Christel Dorau have been at the helm of the contract manufacturing company, which will soon be celebrating its 100th anniversary. The Swabian medium-sized company has been relying on HEDELIUS machining centres for 22 years.
