KRÄMER + GREBE stands for 95 years of experience, extensive know-how and passion for the innovative challenges in the industry. The mould and tool maker has ranked among the world’s market leaders for decades and is an expert in all relevant casting procedures.

The strong performance mix is characterised particularly by the expert and dedicated team, a state-of-the-art machinery outfit, the high level of service, extensive capacities and expertise in the latest technologies.

In Simultaneous Engineering, working with experts from the casting and automotive industry, KRÄMER + GREBE develops tailor-made moulds and complete tooling facilities for prototype and series production.

The portfolio includes high pressure die cast tools, patterns, core box tools, molds and special machinery and a diverse range of other devices. The made-to-measure range of services is completed by specialist and versatile engineering, simulations, calculations, extensive data checks and documentation.

The use of a state-of-the-art machinery outfit with more than 30 processing centres (i.a. Samag TFZ3, Hermle C50 and C60, DMC 105, DMU 200 P and DMU 210 P) means additional reliability for the production of even the most complex components. All machines conform to the maximum requirements and are at the cutting edge of the latest manufacturing technology.

For quality control and to protect the dimensional accuracy of the tools, 3-D measuring machines, optical digitalisation systems, and various software applications for tactile and surface measurement are used. The company is naturally certified to DIN ISO 9001:2000 and DIN ISO 14001.

With 190 specialists and professionals, KRÄMER + GREBE has a team that thinks for itself, commits itself and is passionately dedicated to developing the best technical solutions:

A training rate of over 10% ensures the retention and development of an expert skills base. Young talents are trained in our own facility and become technical model builders, technical product designers and tool mechanics. These are supplemented by Bachelor and Master students, who are supervised and assisted in successful completion of their courses as part of a dual degree with a high practical content.
