About Kock & Sohn
Kock & Sohn is a family-owned company based in Hopsten-Schale in the district of Steinfurt, founded in 1924 as a horseshoe and carriage smithy. The focus lies on the manufacture of front loader work tools such as silage grab buckets, manure and silage tongs, bale tools, buckets and forks. Since 1966, cage wheels and dual wheels have also been produced; the portfolio is rounded off by dual wheel systems, wheel weights and a tire wholesale business. Manufacturing includes sheet metal processing with a guillotine shear and press brake, robot-assisted welding as well as in-house surface treatment with powder coating. The main material is steel, partly in wear-resistant 500HB grade. With more than 70 employees, the company supplies the agricultural and construction sectors, within Germany predominantly with delivery times of 24–48 hours.
