One plant · every production step in-house
From raw steel to the exact contour — oxy-fuel flame cutting and CNC plasma on a 20-metre format, saw cutting from our own material stock, and for tubes & hollow sections 3D plasma and oxy-fuel tube cutting reaching where the tube laser gives up. Plate and tube alike — all on site.
Plate up to 200 mm · tube up to 50 mm · 20,000 × 3,500 mm · bevels ±45°
CNC oxy-fuel flame cutting on a 20 × 3.5 m format — steel and Hardox up to extreme wall thicknesses, with automatic bevel cutting.
High-precision plasma cutting on a large format — including automatic bevel tilt ±45°, steel, stainless steel and Hardox.
Automatic saw cutting of tubes, profiles, girders and round stock to size — straight from our own material stock, fast and economical.
Mechanical plate cutting on the guillotine shear — heat-free and distortion-free, a clean edge on plate up to 15 mm on lengths up to 6,100 mm.
CNC tube machining for tubes, hollow sections and round stock — both cutting processes under one roof: 3D plasma tube cutting for contours, cope cuts and mitre cuts up to 30 mm wall thickness in structural steel, stainless steel, fine-grain steel and wear-resistant steel (Hardox); oxy-fuel tube cutting for solid steel up to 50 mm — structural steel, high-strength fine-grain steel (S460–S1100) and wear-resistant steel. Exactly where tube lasers reach their limits: no outsourcing, all at the Lorch location.
CNC-controlled 3-axis plasma system for tubes and hollow sections — 3D cut-outs, cope cuts and mitre cuts in a single operation, with no intermediate steps. Where tube lasers reach their limits.
CNC copy flame-cutting machine (Zinser) for thick-walled tubes, profiles and hollow girders in solid steel and high-strength materials — where no tube laser and no plasma can cope any longer.
Flat plate becomes shape: die bending on press brakes up to 1,000 t and heavy plate rolling for cylinders, cones and special shapes.

DIN EN 1090-2 EXC3 certified. MAG, TIG and submerged-arc for components up to 50 t — from the multi-part welded assembly to the large-format heavy component.
EXC3 · EN ISO 3834-2 · up to 50 t
Contract welding to DIN EN 1090-2 EXC3 — MAG, TIG, for steel, Hardox, stainless steel and fine-grain steel up to S1100, multi-part assemblies with many joints.

Large-format individual components and structures up to 50 t on the 2×25-t crane system — DIN EN 1090-2 EXC3, steel, Hardox and fine-grain steel up to S1100.
Welding brings heat — and heat brings residual stresses and distortion. We remove both from the components before machining: vibration stress relief releases stresses without a furnace, flame straightening corrects distortion. This keeps the part dimensionally stable for the long term.
Vibration stress relief (VSR) · flame straightening · without stress-relief annealing
VSR treatment to reduce residual stresses — fast, economical, without heat. Ideal for welded structures as an alternative to stress-relief annealing.
Thermal straightening of welded structures and large components — targeted heating corrects welding distortion and secures dimensional accuracy, even on heavy parts up to 50 t.
Between cutting and assembly, no part ever leaves our plant.
Large-part CNC machining for heavy parts: vertical turning up to Ø 4,800 mm, gantry milling up to 26 metres of travel and three CNC horizontal boring mills with rotary table — dimensionally accurate and reproducible.

Professional locksmithing, fitting and assembly services for steel assemblies and single parts — craftsmanship precision meets industrial manufacturing.
Quality runs through the entire production — and at the end there is documented proof: certified welding supervision, non-destructive testing of the welds, geometric measurement and a measurement & inspection report. No component subject to acceptance leaves the plant without the required documentation.
DIN EN ISO 9001 · EXC3 · EN ISO 3834-2 · NDT to DIN EN ISO 9712
We inspect welds and components with the appropriate NDT methods and document the result on a project basis according to drawing, standard and customer specification — without damaging the component.

All eight steps interlock — and do not end at the single part: special container construction for offshore applications and special machinery to customer specification, manufacturing and final assembly entirely in-house, without a single external supplier.
Single piece to small series · Manufacturing + assembly · Entirely in-house
Manufacture of special containers for offshore and industrial applications — built to customer specification, certified to DIN EN 1090-2 EXC3.
Complete manufacturing for special machinery and plant engineering — crane construction, vehicle construction, water treatment and special foundation engineering from a single source, single piece to small series.
Worn, cracked or damaged steel assemblies do not have to be replaced: weld repair, build-up and hardfacing welding, machining refurbishment, blasting and painting interlock within the same operation — including makes from other manufacturers.
Weld repair EXC3 · build-up & hardfacing welding · up to 50 t · third-party makes too
Weld cracks and fractures, build up worn surfaces by build-up and hardfacing welding and machine them back to size — heavy assemblies up to 50 t.
Disassemble assemblies, blast them, renew wear liners, paint and reassemble — handed over like new, more economical than a new build.
DIN EN 1090-2 & EN ISO 3834-2 — verified weld quality for load-bearing structures.
A 2 × 25-t crane and machines for component dimensions where others have to pass.
From cutting to painting without an external supplier — one responsibility, one point of contact.
