About us
Friedrich GmbH Blechbearbeitung is a family-owned company founded in 1977 in Walldürn (Baden-Württemberg) with around 75 employees and approximately 14,000 m² of production and warehouse space. The company manufactures custom sheet metal parts, assemblies and special constructions in all shapes and processing variants: punching and laser cutting, press braking and forming, welding (TIG/MIG-MAG, laser welding, stud welding), deburring, straightening, vibratory finishing as well as powder coating, laser marking and UV digital printing. This is complemented by design with MegaCAD and SolidWorks, prototype construction, ultrasonic parts cleaning, assembly including an ESD-protected protective room, and logistics with its own fleet of vehicles. The core of the operation is a TRUMPF machine fleet connected to an automated STOPA sheet metal warehouse for large-format sheets up to 3000 x 1500 mm. Customers come from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, medical technology, off-highway, transport technology and architecture. Additional services such as wet painting, anodizing or turning/milling are offered through regional partners.
