For a long time, the KOLBUS foundry was a necessary but loss-making company division. Today it’s a sought-after components supplier for German engineering companies supplying machinery to the printing and paper industries. Two-thirds of foundry capacity is taken up by non-KOLBUS orders. Not only KOLBUS, but many other companies too, find the quality of its workmanship and its fast turnaround times indispensable for reaching their demanding goals.
