Simufact Engineering GmbH and Presstec Pressentechnologie GmbH sign technology partnership
Combined know-how from both companies provides customers with optimal solution for press technology
and the forming process itself
Hamburg, February 3rd, 2010 – Simufact Engineering GmbH, a leading provider of software and services
in the area of bulk metal forming and Presstec Pressentechnologie GmbH, a provider of hydraulic presses
and mechanical high-speed blanking and stamping presses, today announced a new partnership which
aims to provide customers with the substantiated know-how of both of the companies.
Customers will soon benefit from the advantages of this technological partnership. Within the development
of new machines as well as in the tuning of existing machines, customers will now have the opportunity to
optimize forming processes and adjust them to their equipment. The immense advantage shows full
potential especially in the area of press tuning. Prior to production, users can now determine whether a
special forming process can be implemented and how an optimized process has to look like. Additionally,
Simufact Engineering GmbH supports Presstec's activities at the department of material engineering,
Technical College Offenburg by providing the needed forming simulation software Simufact.forming.
Future forming engineers can use the software freely to simulate forming processes in a practical
simulation environment and are able to optimize processes.
"We are very pleased about the new partnership with Presstec GmbH," said Michael Wohlmuth, managing
director, Simufact Engineering GmbH. "For customers it is of growing importance not to only look at their
forming processes, they need to consider the entire system. Our new partnership with Presstec is taking
this into account and will enable the industry branch to use their equipment in an optimal way."
"The know-how of Simufact in forming simulation and our experience in the design and optimization of
presses is an ideal combination," said Dipl.-Ing. Alexander Blättner, managing director, Presstec group.
"Our customers can now gain a much deeper and better understanding of their forming processes and are
able to adjust them to the existing equipment. The combined know-how of this partnership meets the
customer’s needs much better and more widespread than before."
