VHW: Pioneering technologies in metal processing
Your expert in hot forging
At VHW, we focus on state-of-the-art technologies for hot forging. With processes such as integrated heat treatment and the use of Hatebur HOTmatic presses, we produce hot-pressed blanks that meet even the highest requirements. Our innovative technologies enable us to produce efficiently, precisely and sustainably.
Integrated heat treatment - Perfectly matched to hot-pressed blanks
VHW's integrated heat treatment makes targeted use of forging heat to save energy, shorten throughput times and at the same time ensure hot-pressed blanks with outstanding material properties.
Reshaping instead of machining
By using hot forged formed parts as blanks for further machining, our customers have been able to achieve considerable savings potential. Hot-formed blanks from VHW are characterized by near-net-shape geometries that reduce material consumption and minimize the need for post-machining. This process not only saves costs, but also time, energy and, above all, resources. Thanks to the high precision and near-net-shape production, waste is reduced, which contributes to more sustainable production overall.
Advantages of our processes
