Toolmaking and maintenance since 1946
Klein Werkzeugbau GmbH has been manufacturing in Haiger-Fellerdilln since 1946, now in its third generation. The company produces cold-working tools such as cutting dies, punches and die plates as well as modifications, repairs and maintenance of stamping tools. In addition, it manufactures spare parts based on samples, models, drawings or CAD data, as well as components. Production includes CNC milling, turning, surface grinding, wire and start-hole EDM, drilling, sawing, welding, sheet cutting and heat treatment with hardening and tempering furnaces including hardness testing. Tool steel and aluminium are processed. In the event of damage, the company provides rapid repair and handles transport with its own truck up to 1.5 tonnes. The production area is 500 m²; in 2019 the team consisted of three skilled workers and two temporary workers.
