Precise custom manufacturing of machine parts: CNC and conventional turning, milling and keyway broaching in Paderborn.

Maschinenbau Fricke GmbH
PaderbornNew on Amplifa
Fourth-generation family business
Maschinenbau Fricke GmbH is a fourth-generation family business in Paderborn that manufactures custom machine parts as new productions, repairs and optimizations. The manufacturing range includes CNC and conventional turning with machining dimensions up to Ø 1000 mm and 6000 mm in length, CNC and conventional milling in the range X 1460 / Y 610 / Z 610 mm, and CNC keyway broaching with keyway widths from 3 to 45 mm, including blind keyways and special dimensions. If CAD data or drawings are unavailable, spare parts, workpieces and assemblies are measured using modern metrology equipment, reproduced and, upon request, documented as a digital CAD model. Production runs from one-off pieces to series, for customers from the mechanical engineering sector. The company at the Otto-Stadler-Straße 2 site employs more than 17 staff and trains cutting machine operators and precision mechanics.
