August Beck GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1906 by August Beck as a mechanical workshop. Over the years the company evolved into a medium-sized industrial firm, specialized in the manufacture of tools for the fine machining of boreholes. It is in this area that Beck has made a name for itself all over the world. Above all it is well known for the high quality and precision of its products, which is not least of all due to the excellent qualifications of its employees. The cornerstone of August Beck GmbH & Co. KG is an extensive standard range of reamers, countersinks and counter bores. With this range of products it is possible to undertake many varieties of finishing tools, solving the customers' problems to their utmost satisfaction. However, rising cost pressure is causing an ever-increasing demand for production methods that work particularly economically. This is becoming one of the most important prerequisites for the success of a company and it makes it imperative to have high precision, extremely high performance tools. By using specific tools for specific customers it is often possible to cut out several stages in the work process and therefore provide economic solutions to machining problems.
