About ABF-technik
ABF-technik GmbH & Co. KG (formerly ABF-Bohrtechnik GmbH & Co. KG) in Wittlich designs and manufactures drilling tools and accessories for specialized civil engineering. The range of services includes drilling systems for all common rotary drilling methods such as Kelly drilling, VDW system, double-head drilling, and SOB drilling, as well as drilling screws for soil types classes 1 to 7; drilling tools are manufactured up to a diameter of 3 m. Manufacturing is based on steel and includes machining on lathes and boring machines, autogenous cutting, and the production of round pipes up to 3 m diameter and 50 mm wall thickness. In the welding sector, several MAG-puls welding stations weld heavy plates up to 100 mm thickness; a submerged arc welding system produces longitudinal and circumferential seams on round pipes of exceptional quality. In addition to drilling systems, the company offers mechanical engineering and contract manufacturing. Customers come from the industries of specialized civil engineering and mechanical engineering.
