About Treffler
Treffler Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned company in Pöttmes-Echsheim (Bavaria) with three business divisions: agricultural technology, milling technology and contract manufacturing. In agricultural technology, precision agricultural machinery for mechanical weed control is manufactured, including tine weeders, cultivators, spring-tine harrows, hoes, cutting rollers and tine seeding technology. The milling technology division covers fully automatic milling systems (Mühlomat, Flockomat, Schrotomat, Multicutter) for bakers, millers, farm direct marketers and spice processors. In contract manufacturing, individual parts, assemblies and complete machines are produced: CNC milling and turning (workpieces up to 10 t), sheet metal and tube laser cutting, plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, press brake bending, robotic welding, structural steelwork to DIN EN 1090-2, as well as cleaning, sandblasting and painting in the company's own paint shop. Materials include structural steel, weathering steel (Blaustahl), stainless steel, aluminium, copper and brass. Customers come from agriculture, the food industry, printing machinery, building materials, glass and construction industries, and engine and marine engine manufacturing. 200 employees work with 37 machines on 12,000 m² of production space in 11 production halls.
