Composite tools: realize better purchase prices

C. Melchers & Co. was established on January 1, 1806 in Bremen, where the global company still maintains its headquarters to this very day. In the first few decades of the company’s history, over 30 ships sailed the oceans of the world under the Melchers flag, linking the ports of Europe, America and the Pacific. In the 1860s, C. Melchers & Co set up operations in Asia, where all its trading interests swiftly moved. At the same time, with the onset of steam ships, it abandoned its own shipping business to devote itself entirely to extending its trading operations. 1866 saw the establishment of the first branch in Hong Kong, in the wake of which China began to develop into a key lynchpin for the company’s business. The ensuing decades were a period of rapid growth for Melchers in China, with over 2,000 people employed at 12 branches and plants throughout the country. The First World War proved to be a setback for business relations, although business quickly recovered. It was not until the end of the Second World War in 1945 that business came to an almost complete halt. Even so, the company continued to survive, re-opening its first branches in Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur in the early fifties and gradually extending its branch network across Asia. Following the opening of the Chinese markets at the end of the seventies, Melchers set up branches here again, underscoring the significance of Chinese business for the company. With the establishment of a branch in San Francisco in the early eighties, the company also started to engage in US-Asian trade so as to gain a share of the rapidly growing trading relations between these two regions. Trade with China remains a key focus of the company’s overall business, comprising as it does imports of special natural products and finished goods on the one hand and exports of plant, machinery and supplies for the Asian industry on the other. Yet, business with South East Asia has since also come to the fore, with the company amassing broad-based expertise in marketing and selling consumer goods in particular. There are special departments for each article group in Bremen as well as at the foreign branches. They work largely independently within the overall company and are staffed by highly qualified experts. Over 1,000 employees in Germany and abroad assist customers and suppliers with their specialist knowledge. Rather than being based at the company’s headquarters, most of these employees are now stationed at subsidiaries, something which in turn reflects the company’s further development and the strategic alliances which it has forged.

The company has been dedicated for more than 30 years of development and production of complex tools for stamping and forming. From the initial idea, through development and construction, the prototype to series production, you can have things under one roof. As a contract manufacturer we are happy to produce for you from small series to mass production - exactly the number of pieces that you need. We manufacture tools for stamping and metal forming. With precision - in perfection! From a simple hole tool, to complex progressive dies, be carried out at the various feeding stations cut hole and bending operations. Tools with 3-D machined flexures and actuated valve cross-inclined punch are part of our range of services, such as drawing tools for the production of sheet metal parts, which can accommodate precision ball bearings. In addition, we produce tools for smooth cutting and trimming products, final ridge and straightening tools for casting and die casting industry.EDM and CNC milling operations are carried out as contract manufacturing. PROTOTYPES AND ZERO SERIES: CREATING KNOWLEDGE IMPRESSION. We focus on holistic development of forming tools. To make your ideas "grasp", we use the method of rapid prototyping. Through rapid prototyping, we are able to quickly show our clients a prototype of its desired stamped and / or formed part. Once the tool to enable us to run a first pilot series in our home. The knowledge gained in Sheet Metal Forming the first edition then - if necessary - used to optimize the tool for serial production. For the production of the prototype, we use a different method. Production tests can be performed with a A geo-test press with 125 tons of pressure and production presses with a pressing force of up to 400 tons. Can be used for composite tools with a total length of up to 2500 mm. Complex shapes, intricate geometries or simple tool requirements - precision is required for each tool. The combination of many years of know how with the necessary care can arise daily quality products in our home. Modern technology is a critical performance factor in the construction of tools. Customers can therefore be confident that their tool is manufactured to ultra-modern machines. For multi-axis machining centers with automatic tool changers provide for economic production. For the testing of tools including a Ageo-test press with 125 tons of pressure and production presses up to 400 tons of pressure available to us.
