Strong in the development and productionof high-precision linking elements
When Anton Osswald began producing linking elements in a smallworkshop in 1967, he already had a clear goal in his sights: only productsof the very highest quality can fulfil the tasks set by customers.Today we are an international company operating with a workforce ofover 70. But our founder’s guiding principle holds true today more thanever. This is because our customers expect maximum precision and flawlessquality from us. And this is what we set about delivering every day.
Cutting-edge production andan experienced workforce
In an area covering over 8,000 m2mbo Osswald linkingelements such as clevises, angle joints, bolts anddrawing parts are produced in Kuelsheim-Steinbachevery day. Our machinery constitutes the very latesttechnology that the industry currently has to offer. Butall of this would be nothing without the priceless knowledgeof our long-standing employees who operatethese machines.This combination enables us to produce both standardparts and your most unusual requests promptly and invirtually any quantity at competitive prices.

Only those who master "Standard"can also deliver "Individual" perfectly
With almost 50 years experience in the manufacture of high-qualitylinking elements we know what matters in the production of precisionparts. That’s why, as well as our standard range, we also produce forour customers individual custom-made designs according to theirspecifications with maximum precision.
We manufacture for you turned parts from the bar– with diameters ranging from 4 to 65 mm– up to a length of 350 mmCross holes, turned grooves, millings, polygonal turning and complicatedgeometries are not a problem for us.
Full service from a single source
We also manufacture on request complete subassemblies.And, if you wish, we will also assemble, package,label and stockpile the components according to yourspecifications.
This can mean that we also have access to your internalstocks-on-hand and will deliver to you automatically assoon as minimum stock levels are indicated. Why not discussthis with us – virtually everything is possible.
High flexibility andrepeat accuracy
Our ultramodern machinery provides for special repeataccuracy with extremely short machining times.Thanks to this enormous flexibility we can manufacturepractically anything for you– from a simple workpiece of free-cutting steel right upto a geometrically complex part of high-tensile steelwith the closest tolerances and surface specifications– from a quantity of 1 up to a large run.
