TEMSA acquires PLUSDUR 29 July 2015

TEMSA, a high precision dies manufacturer from Barcelona, Spain, has recently acquired the Spanish punch manufacturer PLUSDUR S.L to create the TEMSA Group, which aims to be one of the biggest manufacturers of cold forging tooling in Europe.

TEMSA and PLUSDUR are two distinct companies with two different know-hows, but both with great synergetic opportunities to explore. From one side, TEMSA is a dies manufacturer focusing on high-quality tools, whatever the shape or difficulty. This is achieved through a huge investment in state of the art machinery and processes, such as the robotisation of production processes for single parts. On the other side is PLUSDUR, a company offering steel and carbide punches with a very high-quality, as well as flexible, reliable, and fast service.
Together they make a key supplier for fastener manufacturers of the automotive, aerospace and building markets. The resulting group has two factories with more than 75 workers and has a turnover of almost 8 million euros, as well as an export ratio of more than 65%.
Technicians from the two companies will complement each other to offer highly regarded turnkey development projects for new cold forged parts.
