Many people say that HERMLE builds the best machines in the world.

HERMLE is all about milling and achieving outstanding results.

And we are committed to ensuring just this with our architecture, our structure, our work, our approach, our development, our construction, our assembly and our service. Everything we achieve, change or optimize makes our results better, more precise, available more rapidly– nothing more and nothing less.

"Milling at its best" – as the slogan of HERMLE AG – sums this up aptly. It stands for high-performance, highly innovative machining centres which have risen to a leading position nationally and internationally. It stands for a sprawling and closely meshed sales and service network and the presence worldwide of more than 30,000 successfully installed machines. Ultimately, it stands for the success of our customers who achieve the best results in terms of precision and efficiency using our products.

But what makes "milling at its best" possible? A constant supply of new ideas and the proverbial HERMLE precision in manufacturing, process consulting and sound project management. With more than 1,500 highly motivated employees, who are responsible for all this, we create the foundation. And we do this in a place which has traditionally been the home of precision mechanics and machine tools. All in all, these are the best possible prerequisites. They are the reasons why we enjoy a leading position today as a partner to numerous key industries. From large complex components to the smallest components in the high-tech area. From medicine to motorsport.
