About us
Woelky & Partner GmbH was founded in 1989 in Krefeld and manufactures die-cutting tools in one-off production – initially for paper- and textile-processing companies, today for a broad range of industries. The service portfolio includes steel-rule dies, cutting plates, creasing matrices and creasing/cutting plates made of Pertinax, blanking dies as well as special cutting dies such as puzzle, gearing and hole-cutting dies. In addition, the company offers contract die-cutting from single pieces to small series and laser cutting as a standalone service or as a manufacturing step. Base plates are classically made of birch multiplex, and on request also of polycarbonate (Makrolon) for cleanroom and hygiene environments. Also part of the offering are prototyping (white samples, box models), the conversion of samples or drawings into die-cutting data, as well as accessories such as ejection rubber strips and cellular rubber or foam rubber strips. Customers come from print shops, packaging, textiles, leather, transport belts as well as bookbinding and letterpress printing.
