News from the Trimborn Maschinenbau GmbH

In the previous months, Patrick Trimborn of the Trimborn Maschinenbau GmbH has been trained as an SDG Scout. SDG stands for “Sustainable Development Goals”. This training considers the 17 global sustainability goals of the UN. Through this targeted training of employees in the field of sustainability, the Trimborn Maschinenbau GmbH is setting the course for a resource-efficient and fair future at the location in the Euskirchen region.

The milling department has been expanded with a new automation system. A pick-up robot from Promot was installed on a DMG 5-axis milling machine. With this system, quantities from 10 to 400 workpieces can be automated. Further technical details and pictures can be found under Machinery.

The Trimborn Maschinenbau GmbH was founded 30 years ago. This occasion was celebrated with a big party in July 2025. The guests experienced a diversified program. There was something for everyone about food trucks, cocktails, inflatable castle or exciting insights into our production. For the crowning finale, the Cologne artist Björn Heuser provided a fabulous atmosphere. In addition, the Trimborn Maschinenbau GmbH has been supporting the “Stark für Kinder” association for many years. This association is committed to helping children in need in the area of Euskirchen. At the anniversary party, donations of 2000 € were collected for the good cause.

The local club „Stark für Kinder” always has a campaign in December. In this campaign companies can buy chocolate Santas. The proceeds of the Santas will be used for children in need of help in the area around Euskirchen. The Trimborn Maschinenbau GmbH supports since years this social club and their campaigns.

In autumn 2024 the Trimborn Maschinenbau GmbH installed an extension of the existing photo-voltaic system. This step is one step forward to save the global climate. As a result of this action the complete roof area is now equipped with photo-voltaic panels. Further actions to reduce the CO² emissions are in the process of planning.

In January 2024 the company did in cooperation with the Handswerkskammer Aachen a sustainability check. This check is based on the “Sustainable Delevolpment Goals” from the UN. This check ascertained our status quo. After the successful evaluation from the HKW Aachen the Trimborn Maschinenbau GmbH knew that the implemented projects in the sustainable area were effective. Furthermore the company is wiling to reach their amount of future climate objectives.

The Trimborn Maschinenbau GmbH supported the local project “Stark für Kinder”. This project provides help for families, which need help because of strokes of fate. Specially the help is for the childrens of those families. As example this organization builds a sports area in our local town for kids. Our company handed over a donation just shortly before christmas. We hope that a lot of childrens enjoyed the holidays because of the help of this society.

The Trimborn Maschinenbau GmbH installed their first electric charging station for electric cars. The usage of the charging station is only permitted for our employees. Furthermore, the whole roof of the production site is packed with a photovoltaic system. Especially in the summer months the company is able to produce the required energy, which is needed for the production machines, on their own. This are the first steps to decrease the CO² emission and to cope with the climate protection goals. More arrangements to satisfy those goals will be implemented if they’re possible.

Despite all the limitations due to the pandemic the Trimborn Maschinenbau GmbH invested in a new 5-axis milling machine. The DMU 75 MonoBlock from the company DMG MORI AG includes a tool chain with a capacity for 180 tools. Time consuming and expensive set-up times can be shortened in consequence of this big tool chain. An automatic pallet changing system with different pallet sizes is also linked up with the machine. This system can handle parts with a weight up to 300 KG. On grounds of that the Trimborn Maschinenbau GmbH is capable to produce automatized a big amount of different parts.

From now on we can offer you a new coating. We found a trusted partner, who can do gold coating in very good quality. In addition we invested in our CAM software “SolidCAM”. We’re able now to mill and drill parts with 5-axis simultaneously. This allows us, to produce very complex parts with varying radii and undercuts.

Our modern machinery is now equipped with a 3D-coordinate measuring machine. This machine is from the company Wenzel and the type is a SF87. The company Klostermann installed the machine in August. After a successful training in September, we started to measure our parts with this new CMM. One feature of the machine is a swivel head from Renishaw. The dimensions of the working area are 800 x 700 x 700 mm. From now on we’re able to solve complex measuring tasks with a high process reliability.
