About us
Formenbau Schwendemann GmbH is a family business founded in 1965 and based in Schmieheim, in the foothills of the Black Forest. The core competence lies in mould making: the company manufactures plastic injection moulds for a wide range of industries – from part development through mould design and production to the production-ready mould. Modern manufacturing processes are used for this, such as 3- and 5-axis HSC milling, drilling, turning, die sinking, wire and start-hole EDM, laser welding as well as surface and cylindrical grinding. In addition, 3D design, 3D printing, glass bead and sand blasting, laser marking as well as measuring and inspection are offered. Alongside mould making, the company also operates contract manufacturing and offers reliable partner services such as CNC turning, polishing, hardening, coating and injection moulding. The company mainly supplies the plastics and injection moulding industry.
