The Company
ALFRED GIESSER MESSERFABRIK GmbH, headquartered in Winnenden, develops and produces machine knives, industrial blades and high-precision mechanical engineering components for industrial cutting processes. The company is family-run in its seventh generation and can look back on more than 250 years of experience. The product focus is on circular knives for professional bread-slicing machines in bakeries and food retail, Euro-hole knives and cutting lines for packaging machines, as well as knives and cutting tools for fish processing with over 200 articles. Production is carried out from high-performance tool steels and high-alloy, rust- and acid-resistant hardenable materials with high corrosion resistance. In addition to manufacturing, GIESSER offers knife design, application consulting and investigations for the development of optimal cutting tools in its own TECHNICUM, as well as pad printing and Second-Life-Knife. The company is a development partner of numerous world market leaders and hidden champions and supplies more than 650 customers worldwide with over 9,000 products.
