About us
Horitschoner Werkzeugbau GmbH is a medium-sized company founded in 1994, located in eastern Austria with its headquarters in Horitschon in Burgenland. With around 30 employees, HWB covers the entire value chain of injection moulding technology: design and development of plastic injection moulds, Moldflow analyses and FEM calculations, mould making and manufacturing of injection moulding tools up to 15 t total weight, sampling up to 1200 t clamping force, as well as injection moulding production of small, medium and large series. The more than 25-strong tool making department operates in 2-shift operation with modern 5-axis machining centres from Hermle and Hedelius, die-sinking and wire EDM centres from Exeron and Sodick, and injection moulding machines from ENGEL and Battenfeld. Core competencies are visible parts and surface-critical components for the automotive industry, high-performance moulds for the packaging industry, complex moulds with inserts, overmoulding of plastic and steel inserts, and the processing of recycled plastics. In addition, HWB offers contract manufacturing of machining services and the mould doctor service for repair and maintenance of third-party tools.
