VARIOMATIC WERKZEUGMASCHINEN GMBH

Germany

Inventiveness is on the programme at Variomatic. Around 50 years ago, Variomatic Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH emerged as a subsidiary of "Hahn & Kolb". In 1993, we put down roots in the mechanical engineering centre in Chemnitz, Saxony. Close to the customer since 2005, Variomatic is active as an independent company. Following up on the individual needs and requirements of companies and finding solutions together is just as essential for us as communication and collaboration across national borders and time zones. The customer is always the focus here. Quality and perfection. We work according to the maxim of excellent processing quality, which our reliable and durable machinery offers everyday. In doing so, we pay attention to the latest technological standards, modular structure and optimal transparency. Extremely short piece cycles make our rotary transfer machinery economically viable, especially for medium- and large-scale series production.
