About Anton Tränkle
Anton Tränkle GmbH & Co KG is an internationally active family business in its fourth generation, headquartered in the Black Forest. The company develops and produces precision turned parts, valves and assemblies for a variety of industries. At the Triberg and Elzach sites, more than 1,000,000 components with a diameter of up to 65 mm are manufactured every day. Production takes place on a machine fleet of around 100 turning machines and includes multi-spindle turning, CNC sliding-headstock turning and CNC fixed-headstock turning. Materials processed include brass, aluminium, free-cutting steel, stainless steels and special alloys. The range of services extends from development and design through manufacturing and surface treatment to logistics. Customer industries include automotive, sanitary fittings, heating and air conditioning technology, and electrical engineering.
