AFS Federhenn Maschinen GmbH
Over the years the delivery program has been constantly expanded and perfected. The development stages range from the assembly turntable to glazing presses, sashes-stopping stations and the profile center to the fully-automatic fitting stations on frames and leafs, as well as automatic transport- und buffer systems. Profile processing-centers complement to product program.
With the integration of the company Hollinger Maschinen GmbH, a producer of welding- and cleaning machines of superior quality, the delivery porgram is complete and suitable for any company size.
In our new plant in Kirchberg will be exclusively only mounted. It provide lots of natural light and warm colors for a friendly working atmosphere. Due to the generous schedule line of our new building in two aisles, in the first is being the mounting, which is organized so that quasi for certain assemblies a band- or series production can be realized, while in the second aisle machines or large facilities can be configured for window production so that the customer can made a pre-acceptance before delivery of their machines.
In our factory in Simmern remains the cutting production with the operations of milling and welding, as well as mechanical manufacturing, sheet metal processing and painting.

Thinking on the whole – Deciding in detail
- according to this philosophy we have always advised our customers. Especially in the window making industry, with its exceptional variety and complexity of each individual product, small adjustments have different effects on the entire production process.
It is not at all sufficient, to just make solid machines. Planning the production process as a cohesive concept enables us to take the right decision for the detailed and precise construction of a single machine, or an entire product line.
The consistent and continuous incorporation of this philosophy into our production process is the strength of AFS Federhenn, for the ultimate benefit of you – our customers.
You can profit as well from 40 years of experience in the manufacturing of machines and systems for the window production. Starting from materials inflow to the shipping of finished goods - customized cutting, profile processing, welding and corner cleaning, processing of sashes and frames or integrating the glass and commissioning of the products. Moreover, you are not buying a machine from us but a solution, specifically tailored to your needs. This is valid for small – and medium sized companies, as well as for large industrial corporations.
