About Zeulenroda Presstechnik
Zeulenroda Presstechnik GmbH manufactures forming machines with around 100 employees at its site in Zeulenroda-Triebes, Thuringia – a tradition spanning more than 150 years, which has resulted in almost 60,000 machines built to date. The portfolio comprises mechanical presses, hydraulic presses in single-column, two-column and four-column designs, punching and forming lines, servo presses, tryout presses, and individual turnkey special press systems. The offering is complemented by contract manufacturing with flame cutting, welding, large-part machining up to 100 tonnes, blasting, annealing and surface treatment, as well as retrofit, customer service and remote maintenance. The steel welded and cast frame constructions are realized in-house from engineering and design through mechanical manufacturing to assembly and commissioning. Customers are found in particular in the automotive and e-mobility sectors as well as in the sanitary, cosmetics and packaging industries.
