MAPAL has always had strong links with the automotive industry. Correspondingly, this sector has a significant influence on the company.

Start-ups in the field of machining services have to prevail against fierce competition. They cannot afford to waste money while procuring. This is also the case with Bonertz Technik GmbH, which was founded in 2014 and has since made the leap from a pure service provider to a manufacturer of innovative clamping devices for use in machine tools. When purchasing cutting tools, the company pays particular attention to performance, process reliability and good support.

Highest precision and economical production – these aspects are the focus when Carl Hirschmann GmbH machines forged parts made of aluminium for sports vehicle chassis. Well thought-out, multi-stage combination tools from MAPAL have proven their worth here. The shape-adapted PCD cutting edges are particularly impressive. Those responsible at Carl Hirschmann are also impressed by the all-round support provided by their development partner MAPAL.

For about two years, MAPAL has been working hard on solutions for the die & mould sector. Last year, the company hit the ground running on a broad front – with a product range tailored to the needs of the industry. A peek at the specialist catalogue or at die-mould.mapal.com shows the entire range of services.

Most of the components used for modern aircraft and helicopters consist of aluminium alloys or composite materials or combinations of these materials.

MAPAL has consolidated its membership of the VDWF (German Die and Mouldmaking Association) and is now present as an entire company in the association.

Machine and tool must harmonise for the best results.

Combining several machining steps in one tool is a proven way of manufacturing as economically as possible. For example, bores can be drilled and reamed simultaneously with the Drill-Reamer from MAPAL.

New structures in the MAPAL clamping technology product range – both from an organisational and product perspective.

Steel and cast iron are the most frequently used materials in the machining industry.
