Karl Bock founds a small village locksmith's shop with two journeymen at Schulstraße 18 in Lorch.
Since 1963, Bock Maschinenbau GmbH has manufactured large-scale steel structures and special-machinery components in Lorch (Baden-Württemberg) for customers across Europe. On 14,000 m² of modern production space, more than 100 specialists — welders, machining mechanics and industrial mechanics — work at one of the most capable sites for steel construction and special machinery in Baden-Württemberg.
As a certified welding contractor according to DIN EN 1090 and EN ISO 3834-2, we combine welding, CNC heavy-part machining, shot blasting up to Sa 2.5, industrial coating according to EN ISO 12944, press braking, plate rolling and vibration stress relief under one roof — heavy parts up to 50 t, components up to 26 m in length.
What makes us special: in 63 years, not only know-how has grown but also an exceptionally deep stock of tools and special tooling — from long boring and back-boring bars through angle milling heads and special milling cutters to thread-cutting tools, in-house holders and measuring equipment. This arsenal, amassed over decades, makes us universally capable and able to manufacture even unusual parts — an advantage not every contract manufacturer can offer.
