About Abele Metallwaren
Abele Metallwaren GmbH is a medium-sized metalworking company based in Sasbach near Achern in Baden-Württemberg. Its core business is contract manufacturing of sheet metal and metal parts for industry and the trades, with a focus on laser cutting on three Trumpf flatbed lasers (two 6 kW fiber lasers, one 5 kW CO2 laser) in a 1500 x 3000 mm format. The value chain includes punching, bending on 2300-kN press brakes, roller leveling, edge rounding, 5-axis turning, milling on machining centers, sawing, drilling, thread cutting, deburring, and MAG and TIG welding. Galvanizing, powder coating, blackening and tumble/vibratory finishing are offered through partner companies. Materials processed include steels from S235 to XAR400, stainless steels such as 1.4301 and 1.4571, aluminium (AlMg3), brass, copper and titanium. Customers come from mechanical engineering, industry, the trades and general metalworking. On a site area that has almost doubled since 2019, around 30 employees work with 2D/3D CAD/CAM support. Since January 1, 2026, Philipp Naumann has been the owner and managing director.
