Supplier of turned and milled parts for medium-sized workpieces for mechanical engineering, plant engineering and rail technology.
Huber Mechanik AG
Uttigen (BE) · Oppligen (BE)New on Amplifa
Competent supplier since 1870
Huber Mechanik AG is a Swiss supplier based in Uttigen in the canton of Bern whose mechanical engineering division specialises in machining medium-sized workpieces. Its core competence lies in turning and milling of steel, stainless steel and aluminium for customers from mechanical engineering, plant engineering and rail technology. The company manufactures single parts as well as small to medium batch sizes; complex components are machined in just a few setups thanks to swivel-head and rotary table machines. Programming and production are carried out with the CAM software hyperMill; the service portfolio also includes welding, keyway broaching and measurement reports according to customer specifications. Cylindrical grinding as well as heat and surface treatments are carried out with reliable subcontractors. In addition, the company operates an agricultural machinery division in Oppligen for sales, service and repair. The mechanical engineering division is certified to ISO 9001:2015.
