About Fribatec
Fribatec L. Fries is a mechanical engineering and manufacturing company in Ermsensee that has offered development, design, CNC manufacturing and assembly from a single source for around 25 years. The service portfolio includes custom machine building, jig and fixture construction, assembly manufacturing including control system construction and commissioning, prototype construction, automation, and contract manufacturing of individual parts and series according to customer drawings. Machining is performed by turning, milling, drilling and 5-axis milling, among other processes, including in plastics, as well as casting machining. Another focus is overhauls: Fribatec remanufactures replacement parts for devices and machines that are no longer available. According to its own account, customers include companies from the plastics industry; the remaining activities are industry-independent. The entire value chain from design to the finished assembly is covered at the Ermsensee site.
