About AMBA – Aachener Maschinenbau

Aachener Maschinenbau GmbH (AMBA), based in Alsdorf near Aachen, manufactures special machines for producing long metal components with cross-sections that vary along their length, including screws, bolts, tubes and spokes. The core competence lies in cold massive forming and hot forming. The all-in-one machines combine all process steps from the semi-finished product (e.g. wire or tube) to the finished, packaged product in a single machine – without intermediate storage or transfer of parts. The product portfolio includes screw machines for wood construction screws from 80 to 2,000 mm in length, spoke machines for bicycle and motorcycle spokes with robot integration and 24/7 operation, fully automatic forming machines for tube forming of all metal types, thread rolling machines (BBW), as well as Guillot-brand winding machines, compensating systems and creels for the textile and paper industry (up to 1,000 threads). In addition, AMBA offers machine extensions, peripherals and accessories as well as worldwide service for customers in more than 20 countries. The machines are manufactured in Germany.
