About BWZ

BWZ GmbH Zerspanungstechnik is a company founded in 1996 in Löhne (East Westphalia) with more than 50 employees and a partner to the mechanical engineering industry. The company manufactures machine components as one-off and series parts on CNC-controlled milling and turning machines, including 5-axis simultaneous machining centres from Hedelius and DMG MORI as well as lathes with driven tools and sub-spindle. The service portfolio also includes wire EDM, start-hole drilling (EDM), surface grinding, sawing, glass bead blasting and laser marking. Design and CAM programming are carried out with CAD/CAM support using Solid Edge and VISI. In addition to fixtures, assemblies and tools, BWZ offers prototypes, custom-made products, component optimisation and assembly; heat and surface treatments are handled via partner companies. Customers come primarily from mechanical engineering.
