Iron and light metal casting knows a variety of different casting methods and each has its own characteristics. Our experts are familiar with all processes; we build core moulds, ingot moulds and die casting moulds for all known casting processes of our customers. With the support of state-of-the-art technologies such as simulation technology, various sintering and 3D printing processes, and simulated high-speed milling in 5 axes, we realise the wishes of our customers in the shortest possible time. Our modern technical equipment, which we permanently invest in, as well as our large supplier network, make us flexible and independent.

Despite state-of-the-art equipment, employees are the most important element for quality and success in toolmaking. Therefore, all employees of the toolmaking department have completed at least one qualified vocational apprenticeship, which years of experience are usually added to.

The result is tools that really do pay for themselves. Our tools not only impress with their functionality and precision, but also with their reliability and durability. This is how Meissner tools ensure the highest possible added value to our customers’ production facilities.
