Structural Steel Fitting in Contract Manufacturing

Structural steel fitting forms the craft foundation for the production of mechanical assemblies and steel structures. At Bock Maschinenbau this covers cutting, drilling, thread tapping, deburring and the precise fitting of steel parts to drawing.

Our construction mechanics and fitters work directly with machining, welding and steel fabrication – all trades under one roof. This allows short routes and efficient contract manufacturing even for small quantities and single parts from batch size 1.
