The Company
Erben Rolf Eckelmann - Maschinenbau GmbH is a mechanical machining service provider founded in 1961 and based in Bad Bodenteich (Lower Saxony). As a contract manufacturer, the company operates in two shifts on approximately 1500 sqm of production space spread across four halls. Production covers cubic machining on CNC milling machines including demanding 5-axis machining as well as the manufacture of turned parts on CNC lathes. Supplementary services include EDM, CAD/CAM programming, surface, cylindrical and vibratory grinding, laser processing and ultrasonic cleaning. Manufactured parts are inspected on a ZEISS 3D CNC measuring machine; heat and surface treatments are carried out by reliable partners. Customers include the oil and gas industry; in 2012 Baker Hughes recognized the company as one of the three best suppliers worldwide.
