About Kälin Formteile
Kälin Formteile GmbH is a technical procurement service provider for components to drawing with its operational base in Bellach, Switzerland. The company supports technical buyers and design engineers in the selection of manufacturing processes and suppliers, the design of components for manufacturability, project coordination and quality alignment. The scope covers 14 relevant processes: CNC machining, investment casting, die casting, sand casting, permanent mould casting, die forging, MIM, injection moulding, sheet metal working including deep drawing, extrusion, blow moulding, rapid prototyping/3D printing, toolmaking as well as coating consultation. On the materials side, steel, stainless steel, aluminium, zinc, magnesium, copper and nickel alloys, cast materials, plastics, elastomers and ceramics are classified; a materials and coatings database supports the selection assistance. Customers come from mechanical and plant engineering, vehicle-related mobility applications, apparatus engineering and medical technology. Supply runs from prototype and sample through to series production, supported by a warehouse in Bellach for frame orders, call-off logic and shorter response paths. Sourcing is carried out internationally, while operational handling and communication run via Switzerland.
