Philosophy

Future-oriented paths in mechanical engineering

Reliability and consistent partnerships form the foundation on which Maschinenbau Kaltenbach GmbH stands.

Many of our customers have been working with us for many years. For this continuity, our company is known far beyond the region, in the single part as well as complete production. The intensive partnerships with our customers ensure a high degree of familiarity and an effective exchange of valuable know-how.

In this way we contribute directly to increasing our customers’ earnings – the reward for mutual trust is high profitability. This is also because our solid business structure allows us to be highly flexible.

Together with reliable partners at our side, we have the courage to take new, forward-looking paths.

Proven customer orientation

An extensive modern machine park ensures a large vertical range of manufacture up to the precise machining of large machine elements. Proven customer orientation also characterizes our own product range.

Today, products and services “made by Kaltenbach” can be found all over the world.
