About Kjellberg Finsterwalde
Kjellberg Finsterwalde has been developing and producing equipment technology for the metalworking industry since 1922. The portfolio comprises plasma cutting systems, plasma power sources and technologies for automated, mechanized and manual plasma cutting as well as welding electrodes, power sources for submerged arc welding, and TIG and MIG/MAG welding technology. The offering is complemented by VWP Maschinenbau- und Service GmbH with custom special-purpose machinery, automation solutions, sheet metal and mechanical manufacturing as well as retrofit and maintenance. Materials processed are primarily steel, stainless steel and aluminium, plus copper, titanium, nickel-based materials and magnesium. Customers come from industries such as shipbuilding, structural steel construction, mechanical engineering, the automotive and vehicle industry, plant engineering, metallurgy, semi-finished products manufacturing, the building materials industry and foundries. The company is part of the Kjellberg Foundation group of companies with around 450 employees, headquartered in Finsterwalde with sales and service teams in more than 80 countries.

Materials and Processes
Plasma cutting
Thermal melting cutting for all electrically conductive materials, mechanized, automated and manual, material thicknesses 0.3 to 160 mm.
Plasma fine-focus cutting
Cutting technology with laser-like cut quality (angularity tolerance range 2 to 4 according to DIN EN ISO 9013, deviations up to approx. 2°), including burr-free cut surfaces on chromium-nickel steels (HiFinox).
Submerged arc welding
Automated and robot-assisted submerged arc welding with power sources such as KSI 1000.
MIG/MAG welding
Joining of unalloyed and alloyed steels as well as aluminium, magnesium, nickel-based materials and titanium, sheet thicknesses from 0.8 mm to over 10 mm.
TIG welding
High-performance TIG process InFocus/ARCLINE PP for all steels and non-ferrous metals, welding speeds up to 15 m/min.
Manual electrode welding
Use of covered welding electrodes for unalloyed, heat-resistant and high-alloy steels, nickel-based alloys and cast iron.
Oxy-fuel cutting
Thermal cutting process for medium to large sheet thicknesses in structural and unalloyed steel.
Special-purpose machinery
Design, construction and commissioning of custom systems as well as robot welding cells with workpiece recognition.
