About us
Werner Rapp Stahlhandel GmbH, based in Ketsch, produces sheet metal and flame-cut parts for the manufacturing industry. At the Schwegenheim production site, oxy-fuel, plasma and laser cuts in steel thicknesses from 1 to 200 mm are produced on approximately 1,000 m² of hall space. The company combines steel trading and cutting production: on the same premises, customer-specific stock of around 600 tonnes of material is kept on average. Structural steels such as S235/S355, higher-strength grades and wear-resistant steels HB400 to HB500 are processed, as well as checker and strip plates. With digital process management and an express delivery service, the company also handles short-notice orders. Founded in 1992, the GmbH is family-owned; in 2013 the next generation joined the company.
