  • In its 100th anniversary year, STEINEL Normalien AG is proud to exhibit at FABTECH 2025, underscoring its long-standing commitment to engineering excellence and its strategic focus on the U.S. market. The German-based company is a trusted partner in high-precision standard components and custom solutions—especially for punching and bending technologies.

    Founded in 1925, STEINEL has grown from a small workshop in southern Germany into a fourth-generation, family-owned business serving customers worldwide. Its portfolio includes German-manufactured guide units, die sets, and nitrogen cylinders. A key strength lies in STEINEL’s ability to provide tailored solutions with full in-house development and production – ensuring precision, reliability, and short lead times.

    "Exhibiting at FABTECH in our centennial year is not just a celebration, but a clear statement: The U.S. remains one of our most important and dynamic markets," says Christoph Neudörffer, CEO of STEINEL Normalien AG. "We look forward to connecting with U.S. manufacturers and showing how our solutions can add long-term value."

    Visitors to FABTECH can explore components made for critical applications – from cleanroom-grade custom guide units to nitrogen cylinders known for their durability and consistent performance. As the only manufacturer producing nitrogen cylinders entirely in Germany, STEINEL continues to raise the bar for quality and service in the industry.

    With all engineering and manufacturing handled at two German facilities, STEINEL customers benefit from a single-source partner offering end-to-end support – especially valuable in today’s complex supply chains. The company’s strong culture of innovation ensures that STEINEL remains at the forefront of technology while staying true to its roots as an independent, forward-looking family business.

    Media representatives and trade visitors are invited to learn more about STEINEL’s products and philosophy at FABTECH 2025 at Booth #D41227. Ahead of the show, visitors can explore STEINEL’s 100-year journey, milestones, and innovation highlights on the anniversary website – and get inspired by a century of excellence and progress.
  • STEINEL, the premium manufacturer of high-performance punching tool components, has expanded its comprehensive guide unit portfolio with inch-sized versions — delivering German-engineered precision directly tailored for U.S. manufacturers and global players alike.
    For decades, STEINEL guide units have set benchmarks in toolmaking, combining exceptional durability with frictionless performance. Designed and manufactured at STEINEL’s production facilities in Germany, these components meet the highest demands of speed, precision, and longevity, even under extreme stress. Now, this trusted quality is available in inch dimensions, ensuring seamless integration into U.S. production environments — without trade barriers or conversion compromises.
    At the core of STEINEL’s success are roller and ball guide units that operate entirely clearance-free. High-precision profile rollers and identically sorted balls guarantee smooth, wear-resistant motion, supporting service lives of several million strokes without loss of performance. Ball guides allow for versatile linear and rotational movements, while roller guides excel under high lateral forces — making them ideal for high-cycle rates in demanding applications.
    The standard portfolio covers lengths from 30 to 560 millimeters and diameters between 3 and 160 millimeters. With the addition of inch-sized variants, STEINEL bridges the gap for North American toolmakers seeking premium-grade guide units without compromising fit or availability. Furthermore, custom and application-specific solutions are developed rapidly and flexibly, including features such as integrated seals, high-strength materials, corrosion resistance, and tailored geometries.
    Thanks to vertically integrated production at STEINEL’s German headquarters, customer-specific configurations can be realized in the shortest possible time. From initial concept to development, the STEINEL team leverages cutting-edge CAE, CAD, and FEM tools to design optimized prototypes and provide reliable service life predictions. This holistic approach ensures that every guide unit perfectly matches the customer’s application, enhancing productivity and minimizing downtime.
    For U.S. manufacturers, this means: German-engineered excellence, now designed to fit your inch-based systems.
