Integrated metal forming –

Development and innovation are key pillars of our company. The demands in our sector are constantly changing – and Craemer is ideally equipped to meet them: with its own development and simulation department, in-house tool and die manufacturing, state-of-the-art production facilities and efficient logistics management. The people at all our sites play a particularly important role, with their knowledge and expertise making a key contribution to our success.

From the early stages of development, we ensure that the component geometry is manufacturable. Together with our customers, we develop components and support them through production launch. Our services include:
+ Deep drawing simulations
+ Development of manufacturable components
+ Springback analysis
+ Analysis of work hardening and component thickness
+ Development of tooling concepts
+ Development of manufacturing processes

In our design department, we translate the results of component simulations into the optimum manufacturing method. We develop the best production concept for every component and every requirement. Drawing on our expertise and many years of experience serving the automotive supply industry, household appliance sector and other industries, we design high-quality transfer and progressive dies – tailored precisely to our customers’ requirements. We offer a comprehensive range of tool and die design services, including:
+ 3D designs
+ 2D drawings
+ Compact or modular design
+ Development of dies for high-volume, medium-volume and low-volume production
+ Cast-frame or plate-built construction
+ Design of fixtures for welding, clinching and other processes
+ Definition and optimization of manufacturing processes

In our tool and die department, we manufacture high-quality transfer and progressive dies up to 26 ft (8 m) in length – based on the results of simulation and design. We ensure that the tooling we manufacture enables reliable production over the long term. We continuously draw on our extensive experience in metalworking and production to refine our manufacturing concepts – ensuring consistently high component quality.

 A secure and seamless supply chain is crucial to ensuring a smooth and efficient flow through to the delivery of components to our customers and their customers. Craemer offers an automated and transparent end-to-end process – from master data management through to production, logistics and delivery. Our internal logistics chain is automated and enables traceability down to the individual packaging unit. In this process, people and IT systems work hand in hand to meet our customers’ high standards at all times.
