Poppe + Potthoff’s core competence is high precision metal processing. The supplier to the automotive and engineering industry has recently acquired Plaschka with 120 employees at two locations. The production capacities for precision components are thereby expanded. In addition, competences are added which open up additional markets, for example in aviation, measurement and medical technology.
Founded in 1977, Plaschka manufactures precision machine components for fine mechanical and mechatronic systems. The production spectrum includes CNC milling and CNC turning, grinding and surface treatment with in-house electroplating, quality assurance and assembly. The locations in Traunreut (Germany) and Hořice na Šumavě (Czech Republic) are certified according to EN DIN ISO 9001: 2008.
“Plaschka has achieved an excellent reputation in the production of robust precision components,” says Axel Weiser, Director of Precision Parts at P+P, who is now taking over the management of Plaschka together with Dr. Christian Potthoff-Sewing. “Long-term partnerships with customers, modern machines and an experienced team of employees distinguish the company.”
“Plaschka’s production focus is on aviation and medical technology, measurement and film instrumentation and mechatronics. This is a perfect addition to our strengths in the field of automotive and mechanical engineering, “says Rüdiger Faustmann, CEO of the Poppe + Potthoff Group. “When developing and manufacturing innovative products, our customers can rely on broad competencies.”
