Oskar Frech GmbH + Co. KG

CHAMPION WITH GLOBAL STANDING

Over more than seventy years, FRECH has grown from a small workshop to a global market leader in diecasting technology. Today, the family-owned corporate group employs more than 800 workers around the world. Customers with big names use hot and cold chamber machines and vacuum diecasting systems from the technology leader FRECH to produce parts from zinc, aluminum and magnesium. Silvery, shining parts for cars, cell phones and furniture, but also functional components for aircraft, machines and medical products.

The key to success is that parts with complex geometries and high functional density can be produced cost-effectively in high quantities on diecasting machines with FRECH technology: cast parts that often require little to no reworking and that can also be produced at high or low temperatures and considerable pressures – in contrast to plastic parts.

Greater research and development expense, an emphasis on customer focus, modern die technology and exceptional service in all important industrial centers make FRECH a preferred point of contact for suppliers of diecasting parts and OEMs with their own foundries. FRECH also offers its customers valuable support in many areas: metallurgy, networking, resource conservation, cost optimization, quality management and much more.

The expansion of the company into a corporate group has allowed FRECH to broaden its product portfolio by means of the peripheral processes of diecasting: dosing technology and melting processes, die spraying technology, heating and cooling systems, automation and handling technology – investments into diecasting technology are offered "in one shot." This results in many advantages, from planning to production support service, in which FRECH naturally also uses "Industry 4.0 technologies," such as state-oriented remote maintenance and system optimization, for example. This requires the latest control and communications systems, which is why FRECH invests in research and development and highly prioritizes the continuing education of its employees.

FRECH has been pioneering in digitalization for years and works according to standards that offer significant added value to customers.
