Time and again, customers and prospective clients ask us about the relationship between URBAN and SCHIRMER. This is because, in many production environments, it is clear that SCHIRMER’s machining centers and URBAN’s systems work exceptionally well together. This naturally leads people to conclude that URBAN and SCHIRMER are established business partners. However, that is not the case.
What unites us, however, is the fact that URBAN and SCHIRMER are among the leading providers in their respective fields. As a result, we share a large number of customers worldwide, and naturally we collaborate closely—including through our sales offices and service partners. Ultimately, our shared goal is to offer our customers perfectly tailored solutions, typically with a focus on effective performance, the highest quality, and minimal staffing requirements.
URBAN’s service and sales partners around the world also take advantage of this synergy by providing comprehensive service and sales support for URBAN and SCHIRMER in their respective countries. At URBAN, with our extensive and high-quality network of service and sales locations across Europe and the world, we ensure that we are always close to our customers.
However, our branches and partners value not only the excellent, independent collaboration with SCHIRMER, but also with other providers such as THORWESTEN or RAPID.
We would therefore like to make it clear: Each customer decides entirely on their own and independently whether to choose SCHIRMER or another provider for high-end cutting and rod processing.
No matter which supplier you choose: Together, we are able to offer complete manufacturing solutions across all price ranges and scales, and through our URBAN branches and partners, we naturally also provide the necessary support services.
