About SMB Schröder GmbH
SMB Schröder GmbH is a machining company based in Fernwald-Annerod since 1983, specialising in the manufacture of single-part and series-production parts from technical drawings, sketches or samples. On approximately 3500 sqm of production floor space, 18 employees manufacture complex components using modern CNC-controlled machines and machining centres, including 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-axis milling centres as well as CNC and conventional lathes. The range of services additionally includes sawing, deep-hole drilling up to 1200 mm drilling depth, 3D waterjet cutting, surface grinding, broaching, honing and sheet metal working with a press brake and shears. The core industries are general mechanical and special-purpose machine engineering as well as packaging machinery manufacturing, on which the company has specialised since the 2000s. In terms of materials, aluminium, steel, non-ferrous metals, wear-resistant and heat-resistant alloys as well as plastics are machined with extensive stock-keeping. Surface treatments such as anodising, hard anodising, chrome plating, galvanising, nickel plating and glass bead blasting (in-house shot blasting system) round off the value chain.
