Welded Rims in Record Time
Fontijne Grotnes Group
A steel rim in five steps
The development of machines that produce complex formed metal components while at the same time maintaining maximum productivity and profi tability was and is the declared goal of the company Fontijne Grotnes BV throughout its more than 100 year history. The company is located in the Netherlands, in Vlaardingen near Rotterdam, and with its approximately 140 employees develops and produces – amongst other things – customer-specific machinery to produce steel wheel rims, and is one of the leading companies in Europe in this field. However, increasing demands placed on the load capacity of the produced parts in the automotive area especially call for ever-narrower manufacturing tolerances and reproducible high quality.
