KB Schmiedetechnik GmbH is a small but highly certified drop forge located in Hagen, Western Germany. It is situated between the historic 'blade & metal' region of Solingen and 'soccer city' Dortmund, near the hilly landscape of Sauerland. All production processes are carried out in-house, including CAD design, tool construction, closed-die forging, heat treatment, hardening, CNC machining, as well as testing and surface inspection in our own lab.
We process all types of steel including carbon and duplex steels, nickel-based superalloys[*] and also titanium.
Our customers are mainly from the following three industries:
Chemical and energy industry
We manufacture parts for industrial valves, boiler and pipeline construction. This includes various valve components, pipe connecting elements and special flanges for practically all areas from coal-fired power generation to nuclear energy, petrochemicals and the food industry.
Mechanical and plant engineering
In addition to various machine components and chain links, we also manufacture parts for environmental technology. These include parts for wind turbines, waste disposal technology, shredding systems and infrastructure.
Commercial vehicles and ship suppliers
We manufacture transmission and hydraulic components, as well as brackets, gear blanks and special parts for agricultural machinery, industrial trucks and parts for wagon and ship building, as well as special vehicles.
Made in Germany of European Quality Steel
