Since 2015, UnionStahl has been working for a globally active, family-run company in the central Ruhr area that manufactures lifting equipment with load capacities from 125 kg to 100 t and customized designs. In order to make the production processes in our customer’s company more efficient, we are currently processing crane undercarriages for them. The 100mm sheet metal parts in S355J2+N are cut by oxyfuel, fired and then annealed. The flame-cut parts are then fully machined: drilled, blasted in an intermediate step and then milled.

Solution: Flexible planning and complete solutions in prefabrication

As the production of the flame-cut parts was planned with a generous lead time, UnionStahl, with its competent team and dynamic structure, can offer a complete solution in which everything is conveniently supplied from a single source.

Advantage: On-time delivery despite production bottlenecks

Thanks to a very flexible corporate structure, forward-looking order planning and a dedicated team, UnionStahl is often able to provide customers with active support during order peaks. The entire coordination of the individual production steps is taken over, almost all of which can still be carried out in-house – right up to delivery of the ready-to-install component. This eliminates many individual work steps for our customers that require time and control. Both the procurement of materials and the execution of all production steps – annealing, blasting, drilling, milling – all take place in-house. Before delivery, the components are checked as part of our quality management system using a dimensional protocol.

Conclusion: Efficient solutions from a single source ensure growth

UnionStahl can draw on a large stock of materials at any time and also offers several processing steps. A range of services that is rarely found in competition, as most competitors are less diversified. This has contributed to customers holding out the prospect of further attractive projects.
