About Lerch Metal & Mechanical Engineering
Founded in 2018, the family business Lerch Metal & Mechanical Engineering (Imprint: Walter Lerch Metallbauer) specializes in the design, manufacture, and assembly of solutions in metal construction and mechanical engineering, with a focus on thermal process technology. The company develops and manufactures industrial ovens and melting systems for light metal casting and also offers independent manufacturer service, maintenance, spare parts supply, and modernization (retrofits) for melting furnaces, including for ZPF and Striko manufacturer plant types. Other service areas include special machinery (e.g., shrinkage hoods, batching machines, conveyance and processing systems), component and welding part manufacturing from steel and stainless steel, contract manufacturing, and industrial assembly and commissioning. Design is carried out in 3D-CAD using Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD. Materials include aluminum, zinc, steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. Customers come from aluminum and light metal casting, die-casting operations, recycling operations, alloy manufacturers, and heat treatment plants.
