FOOKE in the rail industry
They need to be big, fast, reliable and, above all, robust: Milling systems for the manufacture of rail vehicles.
Many modern high-speed trains and trams are now manufactured worldwide from large-volume aluminum profiles and components. For this purpose, FOOKE developed milling systems and turnkey production centers in close cooperation with various customers as early as the 1990s.
As a reliable partner to our customers, we have of course consistently adapted our machines to meet the ever-increasing demands. For this reason, we are the global market leader in this segment.
In addition, friction stir welding systems (Friction-Stir Welding), welding and joining fixtures, assembly and erection stands round off our product portfolio for this industry.
Reliable, modern, economical.
