About Fornara AG
Fornara AG is a family-owned company in its third generation, based in Sirnach in the canton of Thurgau. Since the early 1970s, the company has manufactured precise tube and metal parts to drawing for industry and mechanical engineering. Its range of services includes tube bending (CNC tube bending, mandrel bending, freeform and roll bending, tube rolling, profile bending) with tube diameters from Ø 1 mm to approx. 80 mm, a machine shop with CNC turning and CNC milling (multi-axis machining), drilling, thread cutting and sawing, as well as metalwork and welding for steel and stainless steel constructions. Materials processed include steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper and brass. Production ranges from single parts and prototypes through small and medium series to large series. Customers come from mechanical and plant engineering, vehicle construction, industry, metal and steel construction as well as architecture. Tube bending, the machine shop and metalwork are located at one site, enabling short coordination routes and complete solutions from a single source. The company is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and supplies seven countries.
