About ABRAMS Industries
ABRAMS Industries GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 2002 in Osnabrück and is a manufacturer of precision flat steel and precision aluminium as well as a distributor of precision round steel. The product range comprises around 70 steel grades in over 51,000 dimensions – including tool steel, stainless steel, high-speed steel, case-hardening and through-hardening steel – as well as eight aluminium alloys in over 4,300 items. In-house services complement the range: cutting to custom dimensions by sawing, milling and grinding as well as waterjet cutting (ABRAMS PREMIUM WATERCUT) for steel up to 100 mm and aluminium up to 200 mm thickness, also as a contract manufacturer for customer-supplied plates. Customers come primarily from tool and mould making, mechanical engineering and prototype construction. The standard delivery time from the Osnabrück warehouse (Ex Works) is 3–5 working days; via subsidiaries in Switzerland and the USA, the company supplies Europe as well as North America.
