Company profile: HEINRICHS – High Quality Metal Parts

The high qualifications of our employees, modern technical equipment in our plants and a lean organization form the basis of our competitiveness.

We design most of the stamping and forming tools required for the manufacture of our products ourselves in our own design department.

The complex progressive and transfer dies with which we manufacture large series, as well as insert molds and jigs, are produced in our modern tool shops in Lennestadt and Kaunas/Lithuania. In addition, we have tools manufactured to our high standards by partners throughout Europe and the Far East - professionally managed, of course.

Especially in the tool shop, but also in the other technical areas, we attach great importance to our own training and further education. With our highly qualified, young team we secure our know-how and competence for the future.

In our production facility, we manufacture sophisticated components using progressive and transfer processes on modern automatic stamping presses and servo presses with press forces of 160 - 1,000 t and a maximum table size of 4.50 m. In some cases, operations such as thread forming, riveting or welding are integrated in the stamping process.

Of course, we also have numerous conventional hydraulic and eccentric presses from 5 to 630 t press capacity. We process all common types of steel and stainless steel as well as aluminum in thicknesses from 0.5 to 8 mm (from coil) - thicker thicknesses in the area of insert presses are possible on request. 

In order to meet the diverse requirements of our customers and to be able to manufacture even complex assemblies, we use almost all common process and joining techniques. In our own welding area we can do projection, spot, TIG, MIG and MAG welding. We have laser welding work carried out by partners who specialize in this field.

We have numerous robot welding systems and partially or fully automated welding centers. Furthermore, we join, clinch, rivet and assemble with different equipment and techniques.

As one of the largest European manufacturers of special truck fittings, we also supply die-cast aluminum coupling heads, line filters, shut-off valves and accessories. The required die-cast aluminum housings, plastic and special parts are mostly manufactured on our tools and machining machines designed by us on site, some of them also in Turkey.

The complete assembly is carried out on automated assembly lines in both our German and Lithuanian plants, including a 100% check for function and tightness.

In order to be able to deliver the more than 1,600 stamped parts in operation to our customers all over the world on schedule, we have our own logistics center with numerous picking, packing and separation stations.

Attached to this is a high-bay warehouse with 3,500 lattice box and container storage spaces.

We are certified according to IATF 16949 as well as environmental standard ISO 14001. In addition, we are audited as an A-supplier by numerous well-known customers.

As an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO / Known Shipper), we also make an important contribution to process optimization for our export customers' international supply chains. Learn more about our certifications here.

In addition to our two plants in Lennestadt, we have a production site in Lithuania. Furthermore, we hold participations in other companies.

Due to our extensive manufacturing capabilities in Germany and abroad, we are able to offer our customers a complete range of parts: from conventional stampings to sophisticated 3-D parts and complex assemblies, we supply everything from a single piece to large series from a single source.

Reliability, consistency, flexibility, innovativeness and customer proximity have always been the basis of our corporate philosophy. In order to be able to be an efficient partner for our customers, who can be relied on even in complex situations with high demands, we are constantly developing ourselves further.

From development, design and prototype construction to tool manufacture and series production, we are the partner you can trust.
