About us
DIETERLE GmbH was founded in 1973 by Siegfried Dieterle in Ottenbach as a flame-cutting operation and has since developed into a full-service provider for steel plates. At the Göppingen site, the company produces flame-cut parts with material thicknesses from 8 to 500 mm on around 3,000 m² of production floor space and a total of 7,200 m² of production and warehouse space, using four oxy-fuel flame cutting machines. The service portfolio includes stress-relief annealing up to 750 °C, disc grinding, complete machining on portal milling machines, 5-axis milling as well as surface and guideway grinding. Unit weights of up to 20 tonnes can be moved with appropriate crane systems. All processes are carried out in-house, both as contract manufacturing and as toll machining. The extensive material warehouse from well-known steel mills, with all acceptance test certificates, ensures delivery capability. Established customer groups include mechanical engineering and toolmaking.
