metz systems GmbH — Defence seating systems, tube bending, laser cutting, machining & welding

Four reasons that make the difference in procurement

What you get from us when you place a complex assembly — not just a cut part.

One order instead of four

Cutting, forming, welding, machining, measuring and assembly all run at one site. You place the assembly, not six separate steps — and you carry no interfaces between suppliers.

Documented quality

3D measurement reports, welding records to ISO 3834-2 and EN 15085-2 CL2, first article inspection reports. The evidence your audit requires is ready on delivery.

Engineering included

Our design engineers review every enquiry for manufacturability and propose savings. No drawing? A sample is enough — we model it and supply the data package.

European supply chain

Production in Kümmersbruck, raw material from Europe. Short transport routes, reliable lead times and a contact in your time zone — even for urgent needs.

Our production envelope in figures

All technologies in-house — one project manager from enquiry through engineering and production to acceptance. Detailed values and material approvals on request.

In Kümmersbruck, Germany, metz systems cuts sheet metal from 0.5 to 8 mm thick in formats up to 2,500 × 1,250 mm, press-brakes with 120 t force up to 2,500 mm long, processes tubes and profiles up to 120 × 120 mm with 5 mm wall thickness and 7,000 mm length, mills up to 1,626 × 813 × 762 mm and turns up to Ø 76 mm over 826 mm. Materials: steel, stainless steel and aluminium.

Our projects – best practices

Production logistics

Fully automated basket handling — from forming to filling the bulk container, with no manual intervention. 12-second changeover, 900 kg total load.

Rail power sockets

More than 7,000 custom power sockets for TGV trains — development, series production and final testing: fire protection to EN 45545, touch protection, 100 % electrical testing.

Open EV charging pedestal by metz systems for Hardy Barth: steel housing with door, pre-installed DIN rails and earth lead

EV charging pedestals & columns

Free-standing charging solutions for Hardy Barth — a pedestal as the base for a wallbox and a charging column with up to four charging points at one location. DIN rails, RCD/MCB and surge protection pre-installed, less civil works. Laser-cut, press-braked, welded, coated and assembled in-house.

Sheet cutting at metz systems: marking a laser-cut part

Sheet metal cutting

Straight from the 12 kW fibre laser into downstream processing: every cut part is marked, scribed and inspected before it moves on to bending or welding. Each part stays traceable through to the finished assembly — sheet thicknesses from 0.5 to 8 mm, formats up to 2,500 × 1,250 mm, in steel, stainless steel and aluminium.

Toolmaking

Forming, punching and inspection tools are built in our own toolroom. Toolmakers and production work side by side — corrections after the first sample part are made in hours rather than weeks. The result: series parts that are dimensionally accurate from the very first piece, and short paths for every change.

Fixture building

Every welded assembly gets its own fixture — designed and built in-house. Toggle clamps, stops and reference points define the position of every single part so seams are placed repeatably and distortion stays low. The same fixtures later serve as inspection gauges in series production.

Because good decisions start with clear data

For us, purchasing is not an administrative task but a strategic instrument. We work long-term with selected suppliers who share our standards for quality, innovation and on-time delivery.

We expect our partners to have certified ISO 9001 quality management, technical advice, electronic data interchange, compliance and sustainable manufacturing processes.

From enquiry to first part

Four steps, one contact. You always know where your part stands.
