Equipment for machining & toolmaking

The main advantages at a glance

Daily challenges in machining

Disorder and long search times

Unsystematically stored machining tools waste time daily and hinder workflow with search times. During this time, machines stand still, which becomes costly over time.

Damage due to improper storage

Improperly stored or only briefly placed, because the shelf is too far away? This means scratches, dings, and consequently high replacement costs for your valuable tools.

Lack of space in the workshop

Bulky tools block urgently needed work surfaces in meter-long shelves or numerous swing-door cabinets.

Risk of injury

If you want to save space, the tools are stored in multiple rows. However, overlapping tools pose a high risk of injury.

Efficiency in machining starts with the right equipment

Apfel offers tailored solutions for machining – from clever storage systems and ergonomic workstations to innovative transport solutions. Optimize your processes by increasing productivity and creating a safe, organized working environment in machining.
Efficient operations start with the right equipment – whether in single or series production.

That is what distinguishes our solutions in machining

Better Organization

Clear storage structures and a well-thought-out operational setup ensure quick access to materials and tools. Our tool cabinets and storage towers offer space-saving and systematic storage.

More Efficiency

With smart transport and storage solutions like workshop trolleys, tool cabinets, and storage towers, you reduce search times and unnecessary distances. Smooth material flow ensures optimized production processes and increases overall workshop performance.

Higher Safety

Ergonomic workplaces – for example, for welding or assembly work – minimize physical stress and ensure a safe working environment. The ‘goods-to-person principle’ of the storage tower, with its output at grab height, also contributes to this.

Space Gain

Space is tight in every workshop, which is why our space-saving storage systems and workplace solutions offer optimal use of space – from setup to final assembly.

Durability

Robust, powder-coated steel constructions and high-quality workmanship ensure that our operational facilities remain reliable even under the toughest conditions. Quality that lasts – for durable and safe use in machining and toolmaking.

Years of Experience

Since Apfel has been working in machining for years, we know exactly what matters in practice. We developed our products for our own needs and gained acceptance in the industry.
