In-house Test and Development Machines

Milestones

Since establishing our steel cutting and grinding machines division more than 50 years ago, BRAUN has developed into a global technology leader in this field. Significant milestones (see below) illustrate this development. Targeted research and development, our own engineering capacities for all areas, in-house manufacturing capabilities, a team of well-trained and motivated professionals and strategic cooperation with various technology partners form the basis for our comprehensive expertise in cutting and grinding - all to the benefit of our customers.
