CUSTOM. BENDING. SOLUTION.

Placke GmbH

We build Press brakes to measure. Tailored to your parts, your operators, and your processes. For your parts. For your rhythm. Less downtime. More output.

Efficient solutions.

Custom Press brakes

At Placke, no press is off-the-shelf. Each Press brake is designed together with the customer, from the Pressing force to the required dimensions such as length, installation height, reach and stroke, right through to useful special equipment. This creates a machine that matches the respective production process precisely.

Retrofit and service

A heavy-duty XXL machine is an investment for decades. And yet safety and convenience features are continuously evolving. Together with us, you can check whether a retrofit is worthwhile to unlock the full potential of your existing machine from Placke or another manufacturer once again

Special tools

Where standard catalogues and mass production end, Placke manufactures special tools for all standard Press brakes on the market (up to 7 m in length) for thin sheet metal to extremely high-strength materials such as Hardox or Weldox – ranging from conical lighting column tools and Z-benders to door frame tools.

What our customers say:

Rolf Riekemann, Managing Director, Maschinen- und Apparatebau Riekemann GmbH & Co. KG

„We already worked together with the father, today with the son – this continuity and the family-like rapport with one another are just as important to us as the technical quality of the machines. The flat hierarchies enable very short response times, from consultation through to delivery and after-sales service."
Mr Müller, Works Manager, METEX Metallwaren GmbH
www.metex.de
„For years we looked for a bespoke solution and only at Placke did we find what we were looking for – in the end, it wasn't just the price at Placke that convinced us, but the complete package of machine, advice and service. That pays off in the long run."
Eugen Beshan, Deputy Operations Manager, ABRASERVICE Germany
www.abraservice.com/de-de
„Placke didn't just sell us a Press brake, but worked with us to develop the right solution for our components. This depth of advice and the personal contact with the family-run business make all the difference to us."
Stefan Bartsch, Production Supervisor, Bernd Münstermann GmbH & Co. KG

„If anything ever jams, the Placke service team is quickly on-site or reachable – replacement parts arrive reliably, and downtime is kept to a minimum as a result. In day-to-day business, that is worth its weight in gold."
Dominik Grever, Head of Sheet Metal Production, Huning Maschinenbau GmbH

„Placke's handling device was easily integrated into our workflow on the 8,000 mm Press brake. Following a brief briefing, our employees were able to work with it quickly and safely. This not only increases occupational safety, but also improves productivity. At the same time, our employees are significantly relieved of physically demanding tasks."
