About FERA
FERA GmbH, based in Schwalbach (Saarland), specializes in the design, manufacturing and assembly of steel structures, plants and machines. The family-owned company, founded in 1976, primarily serves the iron and steel industry, plant engineering, mechanical and tool engineering, civil and structural engineering, as well as transport and conveying technology. Its value chain includes mechanical and automated sheet metal working (CNC flame and plasma cutting up to 100 mm sheet thickness, shearing, bending, round bending, profile rolling), welding by certified welders, CNC machining on boring mills and milling machines, as well as sandblasting and airless painting in its own halls. Steel and aluminium sheets are processed. Around 30 qualified employees manufacture individual parts, assemblies and complete plants up to on-site assembly at the customer, including silos, discharge devices, work platforms, roller conveyors and components for cupola furnaces.
