Turning

 'Whether turning long or short parts,
everything we do revolves around quality.'

Uwe Weisser, Production Manager

 

When precision is not relative.

Not every turned part is the same. Anyone who views precision in relative terms can try out many things. Whenever absolute precision is required, all roads lead to Apelt. Our digital processes, from drawing board to turning shop, are designed around absolute precision.
