About Falkenroth Umformtechnik
Falkenroth Umformtechnik GmbH, headquartered in Schalksmühle (NRW), develops and produces drop-forged parts and machined metal components for the automotive, truck and trailer industries, rail and general industrial applications. The company specialises in geometrically complex and demanding forged parts and manufactures on eccentric and spindle presses with press forces of 10,000 to 50,000 kN; individual part weights reach up to 50,000 kg, forged in unalloyed steels. The R&D team works with customers from design through to series production on tailor-made solutions with a focus on quality and economic efficiency. Value creation includes, in addition to drop forging, machining, heat treatment, surface treatment and assembly. The company is part of the FerrAl United group and operates according to corporate social responsibility standards.
