About us – Precision Made in Germany
Peter Feckl Maschinenbau GmbH, based in Forstern near Munich, is a family-run manufacturing company producing high-quality mechanical precision parts, assemblies and special machinery. The company machines workpieces using CNC milling (5-axis technology) and CNC turning (up to 6 axes, hard turning up to 63 HRC, vertical turning up to Ø 2,050 mm) and manufactures large parts weighing up to 16 tonnes with machining lengths of up to 8 m. Its processes also include wire EDM, certified welding (MAG/TIG per EN 1090, EXC3), surface grinding, as well as CAD-supported development, design, assembly and commissioning, also on site. Materials processed include steels, stainless steels, aluminium, titanium, Inconel, brass, plastics and carbon fibre. Customers come from aerospace, research and development, environmental technology (wind, water and biogas technology), special machinery, automation, rail transport and plant engineering; reference projects include the PK4 enclosures for experiments on the International Space Station and the ExoMars project. Around 70 employees work on over 5,000 m² of production space in Forstern; deliveries are made worldwide.
