STAHLWERK - Designed to convince!
As one of the leading companies on the market, STAHLWERK has been offering its customers top products in premium quality from its own production since 1998. The key to the sustained growth in success lies in a continuously high level of production coupled with exceptional service that leaves nothing to be desired. Precisely coordinated manufacturing processes, a high level of expertise of our employees and professional support for our customers even after the purchase characterise the company to this day. Numerous satisfied customers throughout Europe trust in our competence.

The highest level of quality and safety
Our in-house quality management ensures compliance with the highest quality and safety standards, which not only meet the usual requirements, but also go far beyond the generally applicable standards. Therefore, not only the materials and components used are checked, but also the work and production processes within the company as well as with the suppliers on site - this enables a continuously high production level. In this way, we have been offering our customers the greatest possible level of safety in the usual premium quality for over 20 years now.

Extensive customer support
Excellent service, fast response times and comprehensive support mean maximum safety and cost-effectiveness for our customers. For this purpose, STAHLWERK offers a highly professional service department including an in-house workshop, which is always available as a competent contact partner - before, during and also after the purchase.

Research & development
Our engineers and technicians are continuously working on the optimisation of our equipment and the targeted improvement of individual system components. In this way, we can incorporate the latest technological developments directly into the conception and also take into account customer requests and suggestions.

Broad product portfolio
In addition to welding machines, plasma cutters, compressors and accessories, STAHLWERK offers a wide range of spare and wear parts. Standard components are always in stock so that we can react adequately and without loss of time when needed.

Efficiency through continuous growth in knowledge
Always up to date - despite its already high level of expertise, STAHLWERK relies on continuous knowledge growth and interdisciplinary exchange among its employees. To this end, the company is a member of the German Welding Association (Deutscher Verband für Schweißtechnik e.V.). The aim is to constantly expand our expertise through professional and needs-based training and, not least, to develop new standards that sustainably improve quality, safety and reliability.

History
STAHLWERK can look back on a long and traditional history. Much has changed in the more than 20 years of history, but the claim to manufacture top products in the highest quality has remained. Honest craftsmanship is still in the foreground. This idea is firmly anchored in our thoughts and actions and runs like a thread through the company's history from its foundation to the present day.

Milestones

1998 - The founding year: inspired by the idea of combining welding equipment of the highest quality with excellent customer service under one roof, the entrepreneur Okan Balaban founded the company STAHLWERK in Bonn in 1998. Already at a young age, the son of a master electronics technician had his first contact with precision equipment, which had a lasting effect on his thinking in terms of quality and safety later in life.

2000 - The portfolio can be steadily expanded and as the portfolio grows, so does the company. In addition to welding equipment, plasma cutters and compressors, STAHLWERK now also offers a wide range of accessories and wear parts.

2008 - After ten years of hard work, the company outgrows its existing warehouse and moves to Alfter near Bonn.

Further commitments follow with VfL Bochum, Borussia Mönchen Gladbach, HSV and St. Pauli.
