About B.M. Maschinenmesser
B.M. Maschinenmesser is a manufacturer and service provider for machine knives based in Remscheid. Founded in 1996 by Bärbel and Friedhelm Wiechert, the company manufactures straight-cut knives, toothed knives, circular and circular saw blades, welded knives, shear blades and special knives to drawing or sample – as one-off pieces and small series. In addition, knives up to 4000 mm in length are resharpened, and in the course of resharpening exact drawings are produced for identical replacements. Production is carried out on laser cutting systems as well as various special grinding and milling machines; the value chain includes laser cutting, milling, grinding, welding of knife parts and surface coatings such as TiN, chrome, Teflon and PTFE. Materials used include tool steel, HSS, powder-metallurgical steels and semi-stainless grades for food applications. The knives are used in the paper, textile, food, packaging, film and rubber industries.
