About Dürr Metall
Dürr Metall is an owner-managed family business from Karlsbad-Ittersbach that has been manufacturing highly complex precision parts since 1995. Its range of services includes CNC milling with 5-axis simultaneous machining, 5-side complete machining, HSC and hard machining, as well as plastic injection molding in three-shift operation, including multi-component injection molding using the insert method and metal-plastic hybrids. In addition, the company offers CAD/CAM programming with hyperMILL, prototype construction, integral design of complex precision parts, inspection and assembly fixtures, and ready-to-install sub-assembly assembly. Materials processed include aluminum, titanium, steel, plastics and composites. Customers include aerospace (ISS components, helicopter OEMs), defense technology, optical analytics, medical technology, special machinery construction and research. The company is certified to EN 9100:2018 and ISO 9001:2015 and manufactures in compliance with AQAP 2110/2310. Its location is Auf der Hub 41 in Karlsbad (Ittersbach), Baden-Württemberg.
