Industeel continues to enhance its downstream manufacturing capabilities with a new investment at Kontur, its specialist machining subsidiary. The installation of a Priminer V2516 CNC milling machine significantly expands Kontur’s capacity for precision machining. It supports Industeel‘s commitment to delivering high-value added solutions to customers.
Through this investment, Industeel is strengthening its ability to support customers requiring fully machined components. While ensuring shorter lead times on increasingly complex engineered solutions.
Expanding Industeel’s Precision Machining Capabilities
The new CNC Milling Machine replaces equipment that had been operating for nearly two decades. It enables Kontur to significantly increase its machining performance and capacity.
Key improvements include:
- – Processing components weighing up to 6 tonnes, compared with 2 tonnes previously.
- – A larger machining envelope, accommodating widths up to 1,600 mm and lengths up to 2,500 mm.
- – Higher milling speeds, increasing productivity and throughput.
- – Greater machining precision and dimensional accuracy.
- – Reduced maintenance requirements and improved operational reliability.
These enhancements allow Kontur to manufacture larger and more complex components while maintaining the high standards of quality expected by Industeel’s customers.
Supporting Industeel’s Value-Added Offering
As a key element of Industeel’s downstream network, Kontur plays an important role in transforming high-performance steel plates into finished and semi-finished components ready for use in demanding industrial applications.
Moreover, the investment strengthens Kontur‘s position in the special machining market, while expanding its ability to support customers across sectors where precision, reliability, and manufacturing expertise are critical.
By combining premium steel solutions with advanced machining capabilities, Industeel continues to move closer to its customers’ needs and provide a broader range of integrated services.
Improving Operational Excellence and Workplace Conditions
This investment also contributes to operational excellence and employee wellbeing.
The new machine incorporates a modern air-extraction system that improves air quality in the production hall. It supports current health and safety standards. In addition, relocating the existing machine to the rough machining area allows Kontur to maximize the value of its existing assets while increasing overall manufacturing flexibility.
Investing in Long-Term Growth
This investment reflects Industeel’s commitment to strengthening downstream operations and expanding value-added services.
« This investment reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in manufacturing. The Priminer V2516 expands our machining capabilities, increases efficiency, and strengthens our ability to serve customers with demanding technical requirements. It is an important step in supporting the long-term growth and competitiveness of Kontur. »
