For craftsmen, for industry, for perfect profiles. elumatec was founded in 1928 in the Swabian town of Mühlacker, between Karlsruhe and Stuttgart. At first we produced sand-cast parts; woodworking machines came later. In the 60s we focused consistently on profile machining for various materials, and with great success. Our clear focus on our ultimate goal – to secure and increase our customers’ productivity – has made us a global market leader in the manufacture of machines for processing aluminium, PVC and steel profiles. Our range of over 120 products means we can meet every possible requirement, with modular machine designs allowing flexible and customised solutions for all sectors and company sizes, from craftsman’s enterprises to industrial profile machining operations. Over 35,000 customers worldwide, impressive references and awards, more than 6,000 profile machining centres, a range of patents and trademarks, and annual consolidated sales of over 125 million euros show what we can do. But if there’s one thing we’re particularly proud of, it’s this: despite our success in growing from a small craftsman’s enterprise into a global business, we have remained a friendly, down-to-earth company which exemplifies the values of SME businesses, such as quality, flexibility, personality, reliability and proximity to customers. One measure of the outstanding quality of our products is their longevity: many elumatec machines have been in service for more than 30 years. With over 700 employees and with subsidiaries and dealers in over 50 countries, our presence covers the globe. If the worst comes to the worst, one of our team of over 150 service experts will be with you quickly on site, and our global supply of spare parts for your elumatec machines ensures a high level of production reliability. Our passion and commitment is to develop the perfect solutions for you. Get to know us as a partner who understands your specific requirements and will tailor its products and services to meet them to the letter – we look forward to hearing from you!

elumatec AG is established
Right from the start, customer benefits were the primary focus during the development of the SBZ 137. Our many years of experience and know-how in the area of aluminium profile machining have gone into this product, making it equal to the demands placed on this type of machine by the market. The obvious key topics, such as high power and speed for dynamic performance of the actual machining tasks, are not all that matters. The frequently neglected areas of optimised ergonomics and easy setup for widely varying workpieces must also be considered.
SBZ 618 - The ideal combination of automatic saw, SBZ 616, and post-processing centre, SBZ 617. For flexible complete machining with operations such as PVC cutting, PVC machining with or without reinforcement steel and reinforcement screw placement as well as with or without transom notches, even all the way to a profile bar ready for welding.
The SBZ 628 pass-through centre offers the best in flexibility for both machining as well as cutting to length of aluminium profiles in the metal construction sector and in industry. It complements the SBZ 630 / SBZ 631 profile machining centre, and combines its advantages, including production reliability, speed and economy with an impressive versatility. This allows the fully automatic machining of diverse profile types, such as for windows, doors and curtain walls, using up to eight routing units that can operate freely on the profile crosssection in coordination with patented innovations, such as travelling clamps and pivoting grippers.
The new SBZ 151 generation with a Flexium+ control system has been completely redesigned, thereby enabling even more economical and efficient machining of aluminium and thin-walled steel profiles.
elumatec TechDays 2015 - Presentation SBZ 122 Facelift elumatec is introducing a new SBZ 122 family of models for all profile machining applications which require 3- or 4-axis centres. It has a modular design making it easy to adapt for various different needs. Components such as a modern control system, controlled spindles and powerful servo motors save on operating costs while improving machining results using intelligent control technology. That means fast, precise, flexible and economical machining of aluminium, PVC and steel profiles. The new SBZ 122 family of models includes an economically priced basic 3-axis model (SBZ 122/70) as well as a 3-axis version specially for steel construction customers (SBZ 122/71).
The Italian CIFIN Holding took over the elumatec Group. With the takeover of elumatec AG and its subsidiaries, elumatec AG and the Emmegi Group will together become the new heavyweights in the industry under the umbrella of Italian Cifin Holding, headquartered in Modena.

Environment and economy hand in hand. Environment and economy complement each other perfectly. The proof: We save € 20,000 and emit 66 fewer tonnes of carbon dioxide every year thanks to energy efficiency measures first implemented in 2011. An overview of the most important measures: Eliminating compressed air leaks. Compressed air is the most expensive energy source produced from electricity, so leaks almost literally mean money going up in smoke. Practical experience has shown that leakage rates of between 15 and 70 % are widespread in the industry, and by eliminating these leaks we have saved 126,000 kWh of electricity and 66 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Overall, that’s € 180,000 since 2011! Heat recovery from air compressors. Over 90 % of the electrical energy used to compress air is converted into heat, and if no heat recovery procedures are in place this energy is wasted and enters the atmosphere. Instead, we use the waste heat from our air compressors to heat storage units and the water we use, among other things. Other measures Solar panels have been installed on the roof of our new company headquarters, providing electricity which we use ourselves. In addition, by using energy-efficient servers we have reduced our electricity consumption by 500 kWh a week. Every four years we carry out an energy audit to ensure that we are consistently achieving our sustainability goals, and you benefit from this too – conserving resources reduces costs, which means we can guarantee competitive market prices in the long term.
