About Maschinenbau Taferner
Konrad Taferner Maschinenbau und Reparaturwerkstatt GmbH is a master-craftsman business in Wals-Siezenheim near Salzburg with a tradition dating back to 1896. The company manufactures components and spare parts by turning and milling, including toothed gears made from many materials, cutting tools, drill-through units for deep drilling, chain sprockets, superstructures and conveyor systems. In addition to the new manufacture of individual parts and prototypes, the focus lies on repairs, maintenance and restorations, including metal powder spray coating of shafts and welding work on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminium, titanium and non-ferrous metals. A particular mainstay is the maintenance and conversion of small-scale power plants with rake and gate systems as well as the manufacture of original parts for vintage cars. Customers come from hydropower, mechanical engineering and manufacturing companies, for whom downtime is reduced through repair and spare-part production. Plastics are also processed; production is carried out as one-off and custom manufacturing on modern and historical machines.
