Welded assemblies in series, manufactured from a single source
MÜNCH manufactures welded assemblies in series: metal parts joined from several components, produced repeatedly in consistent quality. From laser cutting through bending and machining to welding, coating and assembly, all steps mesh in house, without interfaces between several suppliers. The result is assemblies that can be repeated process-reliably and economically across the entire series.
The process chain
- Cutting: laser cutting and tube laser cutting of sheets and profiles.
- Forming: bending into the required geometry.
- Machining: turning and milling for fits and functional surfaces.
- Joining: welding in MAG, MIG, TIG and laser, manual and with welding robots in series.
- Surface: surface finishing and coating.
- Completion: assembly, measurement and, on request, laser marking.

From development to stable series
MÜNCH transfers products from development into stable series processes and reliably reproduces established series. As a proactive manufacturing partner, we contribute manufacturability feedback early, bundle work steps sensibly and take on the complete assembly over time, from the first pilot run to ongoing delivery.
Automation and digital processes
For consistent quality in series, MÜNCH relies on welding robots, automated milling cells and an autonomous sheet metal store, plus in-house digital processes with EDI connection. More on the Automation & digital processes page.
Industries where this proves its worth
Welded assemblies from MÜNCH are used wherever recurring series and high process reliability matter: medical technology and clinic equipment, measuring, analysis and optical systems, industrial and manufacturing technology, materials handling vehicles, construction and outdoor living.
When the collaboration pays off
The collaboration is most economical for recurring assemblies with a welding share and predictable demand, as a guide roughly one production lot per month and article with two to eight hours of processing time per lot. We also manufacture single parts, usually as an entry into a longer collaboration or as part of an assembly.
Quality and certifications
Verified processes provide certainty, especially in regulated industries. MÜNCH is certified to EN ISO 3834-2 (welding quality requirements), EN 1090-1/-2 EXC3 (execution of steel structures) and ISO 9001 (quality management).
FAQ
A welded assembly is a metal part joined from several individual components, with welding as the central joining step. In series production it is manufactured repeatedly in consistent quality and predictable quantities. MÜNCH produces such assemblies including all upstream and downstream steps from a single source.
MÜNCH covers the entire process chain: laser cutting, tube laser cutting, bending, machining by turning and milling, welding in MAG, MIG, TIG and laser, manual and automated, plus surface finishing, coating, assembly and measurement. This eliminates interfaces between several suppliers.
MÜNCH welds using MAG, MIG and TIG as well as laser, both manually and automated with welding robots. The process used depends on material, component and quantity. For series welding, robotic systems ensure consistent seam quality.
Steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Depending on the component, they are laser cut, bent, machined and welded, and then surface finished or coated.
Recurring lots with predictable demand are most economical, as a guide roughly one production lot per month and article with around two to eight hours of processing time per lot and operation. This makes setup worthwhile while keeping capacity flexible.
Yes. MÜNCH transfers products from development into stable series processes and reliably reproduces established series. As a proactive partner, MÜNCH contributes manufacturability feedback early instead of simply working to drawing.
MÜNCH is certified to EN ISO 3834-2 (welding quality requirements), EN 1090-1/-2 EXC3 (execution of steel structures) and ISO 9001 (quality management). These are particularly relevant for customers in regulated or quality-sensitive industries.
MÜNCH offers not only the welding, but the complete assembly from a single source, from sheet and tube processing through machining to coating and assembly. This vertical integration saves interfaces and makes the series reproducible.
Typical industries are medical technology and clinic equipment, measuring, analysis and optical systems, industrial and manufacturing technology, materials handling vehicles, construction and outdoor living. They share a need for recurring series with high process reliability.
MÜNCH is a family business in Karlstadt in Lower Franconia, in the Würzburg area, founded in 1947. It manufactures for customers nationwide; regional proximity is possible, while for longer distances the focus is on a few, long-term partnerships.
