About us

We stand for much more than 'just' good machines.

SHW Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of Traveling column machines, gantry machines and machining centers and an internationally renowned specialist for machine processing. Among the items our machines produce are large parts for machine and plant construction, for large diesel engines, for turbines and for environmental technology. The head of every machine and the heart of every plant is the SHW milling head. All our expertise can be found here – guaranteeing the uncompromising precision that our customers demand. The basis of our expertise, which is surely unique in the industry, is over 80 years of mechanical engineering experience – and a tradition going all the way back to the 14th century. Our machines embody the highest quality – made in Germany. Quality that isn’t just created in production, but as early as the development stage: by continuously making technological advances ourselves, we generate greater benefits, more value and, ultimately, increased success for our customers. Numerous SHW patents prove how closely bound tradition and innovation actually are for us. We also see product and performance as an inseparable unit. What our 210 employees deliver is always a complete package: machine and service, from development to production management, and all from a single source – directly from the manufacturer.
