KURTZ GmbH is a member of the Kurtz Group of companies. It developed from the original forge hammer works of 1779 to an international group of companies focusing on mechanical engineering and aluminium and iron casting.

Today KURTZ GmbH is one of the globally leading manufacturers of machines for the processing of particle foams - such as EPS, EPP, EPE and their copolymers. The product range covers pre-expanders, shape moulding machines, blockmoulds and cutting lines right through to layout and supply of complete plants for the production of blocks and mouldings.

KURTZ operates two foundries for aluminium die casting as well as grey cast-iron and nodular cast iron and a CNC machining shop. The family-owned company with a tradition of over 225 years covers the entire process: from part development and design including advice in material selection through to casting and finishing. KURTZ produces components for mechanical engineering as well as engine, transmission and suspension parts and vacuum and hydraulic castings.

Under the motto "From Foundryman For Foundrymen" KURTZ produces low-pressure casting machines for aluminium and magnesium alloys and became the technology leader in this field. In addition the KURTZ product range also covers gravity and tiltable gravity casting cells available both as single machine and as automated turn-key casting plant. The know-how gained in the KURTZ foundries together with decades of experience in mechanical engineering is the foundation for the development and engineering of new plants.

At the end of 2009 KURTZ has successfully expanded its range of products in the foundry machine sector by deburring technology and started supplying trimming presses. Deburring machines, processing stations, deburring tools as well as automation and peripheral equipment complement the supply scope of this new business sector.
