About the SCHRÖDER Group
The SCHRÖDER Group consists of the two German machine manufacturers Hans Schröder Maschinenbau and SCHRÖDER-FASTI Technologie. The company manufactures machines for folding, cutting, beading, flanging and rolling of sheet metal, including folding machines (MAK 4 Evolution UD, EVO DuoBend, EVO Heavy Duty, MAKU, PowerBend Professional and Industrial), up-bending machines (PowerBend Xpert) as well as fully automatic bending centers with automatic loading and unloading system. The machines are used among other things in sheet metal working, metal construction, facade construction, plumbing/roofing and metal furniture manufacturing; applications range from cassette systems for facades and aluminum sun protection systems to the production of trapezoidal sheets, gutters and cover caps. The company is in its third generation, provides training at the Wessobrunn-Forst site (among others precision mechanics, mechatronics technicians, electronics technicians for industrial engineering, technical product designers) and markets its machines through trade fair appearances such as EuroBLECH in Hannover as well as through sales partners, most recently PW Machine Services for the United Kingdom.
