About Buchner
Buchner is a company based in Weihenzell (Middle Franconia) that, according to its own statements, looks back on a tradition of more than 150 years. In the field of plastics processing, custom trays are manufactured in a thermoforming process. These serve not only as transport packaging, but combine assembly aids, painting fixtures, paint masks and Poka-Yoke systems, and accompany sensitive components throughout the entire process chain from production to the end customer. After thermoforming, a wide range of post-processing operations is possible, including laser cutting of ventilation slots, punching and burr-free sawing of the outer trim, milling of mounting holes as well as joining of assemblies by bonding or ultrasonic welding. In the field of metal processing, the company carries out industrial repairs as well as single-part, small-series and assembly manufacturing according to customer requirements. In addition, Buchner offers retrofit services: older machines are upgraded with modern servo motors, bearing technology and optimized lubrication.
