About Hohl Werkzeugbau AG
Hohl Werkzeugbau AG was an SME in the Bernese Seeland, based in Kappelen, that manufactured single parts and series from various metals for a wide range of applications. Its service portfolio included CNC milling (3- to 5-axis) of workpieces up to approx. 500x400x300 mm, CNC turning of parts up to approx. Ø 150x200 mm, and surface grinding up to approx. 500x500 mm. Customers came primarily from mechanical engineering, plant engineering and toolmaking. In addition, for several years the company produced tactile signage plates with Braille and profile lettering, including elevator, railcar and handrail signs for public buildings and transport; the company Sign-Systems was acquired for this purpose in mid-2024. As part of an absorption merger, Hohl Werkzeugbau AG was fully integrated into its parent company Trimech AG in Aarberg in 2026; production continues there under Trimech AG.
