The Region of the 10 Thousanders is where the Swabian Alb is at its highest and where Maschinenfabrik Berthold Hermle AG is holding its traditional Open House in Gosheim from 20-23 April 2016. More than 2000 visitors are expected to attend this event.

To display the vast range of capabilities provided by Hermle machining centres and milling machines in many industrial sectors, over twenty machine models - from the compact C 12 to the large C 62 - will be on show in various configurations and with interesting equipment at the Technology and Training Centre. The event will also witness the unveiling of the newest machining centre - the C 250.

A special show featuring over 50 exhibitors from the fields of tool technology, CAD/CAM, software and control technology will be staged as part of the event programme.

Factory tours of the production and assembly facilities will give visitors the unique opportunity to experience the whole process of how Hermle machining centres are brought to life.

The guided tours commence with an exclusive insight into the fascinating manufacturing workplace, where Hermle invested several million euros last year in new - in-house - machinery, before moving on to the assembly lines; here the guests will see the assembly process for automation components, e.g. pallet changers and robot systems, which are developed and manufactured by Hermle-Leibinger Systemtechnik GmbH at the factory.

In the area of generative manufacturing, an experienced team from our subsidiary Hermle Maschinenbau GmbH will be on hand with some brand new components, allowing attendees to discover further development of Hermle's MPA technology.
