Contract manufacturing of large parts since 1904
Jakob Behr Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG is a mid-sized contract manufacturing company in Munich that has existed since 1904 and specializes in the machining of medium to large parts in small quantities. The fourth-generation family business operates purely as a contract manufacturer, producing components of all sizes — from large frames for mechanical and plant engineering to complex aluminium parts for aerospace prototypes. The service portfolio includes CNC milling with machining lengths up to 10,500 mm on gantry and portal milling machines, 4-side machining on boring mills, CNC turning and vertical turning up to Ø 2,350 mm, between-centres turning, surface and guideway grinding, as well as slotting. In addition, the company offers 3D milling with CAM programming in SolidCAM, the design and manufacture of fixtures for special components, and the assembly of subassemblies. Materials machined include steel, stainless steel, Inconel, aluminium alloys, titanium, plastics and carbon fibre composites. The company is certified to EN ISO 9001:2015.
