About FBM
Frank Brücher Maschinenvertrieb (FBM), based in Kreuztal, specializes in the brokerage of machines and systems for the coil and sheet metal processing industry. Products brokered include roll forming lines, slitting lines, cut-to-length lines, packaging lines, presses as well as extraction and filter systems from renowned partners such as STAM. In addition, the company offers retrofit services: the overhaul and modernization of used coil processing systems including disassembly, assembly, commissioning and control system integration. FBM also designs and manufactures its own special-purpose machines such as coil preparation stations, scrap boxes, coil stands, lifting tables/transfer trolleys and crop shears. The product range also includes cutting tools such as slitting knives, reject rings, spacer rings and shear blades, leveling rolls and conveying technology. Target industries include steel mills, service centers, the automotive, foundry, wood, mineral and recycling industries as well as switchgear cabinet and racking manufacturers.
