T.F.M. TECHNOLOGIE FÜR METALLBEARBEITUNG GMBH

We are a tool manufacturing company with a broad background of experience. Complex metal processing is our strength. Therefore, we not only produce complete molds and tools for plastic injection molding, blow molding, or metal die casting, but also, upon request, prototypes and pilot series tools. Additionally, we offer our metal processing expertise in the form of contract manufacturing orders. Documented processes and certification according to ISO 9001 are a matter of course. Numerous awards and the success of our customers are both our inspiration and motivation. 1996 Five toolmakers and manufacturing technicians, led by Günther Lindinger, take the step into self-employment. They rent a business property in Traun (about 5 km southwest of Linz) in the Ganglgutstraße industrial area and set up mechanical production. The first products are machines that they manufacture on a contract basis. Concurrently, contract manufacturing of mold and tool components begins. 1998 At the economic award "Pegasus 1998," organized by the business editorial team of the "Oberösterreichische Nachrichten" in cooperation with Raiffeisenbank OÖ, TFM's manufacturing expertise impresses.
