Company
C6 Composite Tooling GmbH, headquartered in Buchen (Odenwald), is a manufacturer of quality tools and CNC machining units for the processing of lightweight and composite materials. The product portfolio includes milling tools, drilling and countersinking tools, circular saw blades including the patented 5-axis saw Straight & Curve, ultrasonic and cutter knives, reamers, clamping systems, shrink-fit systems and tool management systems. The tools are manufactured on modern production equipment, including PCD production by laser, state-of-the-art CNC machining and precision EDM; tool materials are carbide and PCD. The offering is complemented by engineering services from project start to series production launch, tool service (sharpening, equipping, coating) and service for CNC units. The materials processed range from CFRP, GFRP, SMC and carbon ceramic (CMC) to honeycomb cores, graphite, HPL and thermoplastics as well as aluminium. Customer industries include automotive, aerospace, rail vehicles, wind turbines, mechanical engineering, sporting and leisure equipment, and yacht and boat building. The company maintains branches in Germany, France, China, Indonesia and Malaysia as well as trading partners in Turkey, the USA and Mexico.
