Although Gosheim, Germany has a population of 4,000, it is home to one of the leading 5-axis machine tool builders: Hermle. Take a factory tour with Hermle USA president Gunther Schnitzer in this movie-length video.
Hermle heavily emphasises understanding the combination of all key elements of machining such as workholding, tooling, and programming. The three and a half year comprehensive apprenticeship programme ensures that students learn everything from the basics of machining to how to service machines in the field.
Kingsbury is the sole agent for the German machine builder in the UK.
