Our Vision
Founded as iron hammer works in 1779 in Hasloch in Spessart, the Kurtz Group has developed into aninternationally operating conglomerate. Today, we are technological or world market leaders in many fields.
The corporate group is in the ownership of the sixth generation of the family.
The management can fall back on an advisory board consisting of excellent industry personalities.
Our control center:
The headquarters of the Kurtz
Group are in Wiebelbach
– not far from the iron hammer
works in Hasloch.
Where it all began:
The historical iron hammer
works in Hasloch, Spessart,
remains in operation today as
an industrial memorial.

The synergy potential of our business segments and the optimized process structure guarantee our customers the greatest possible economic efficiency.
The manufacturing technologies and procedures utilized by the Kurtz Group are extremely diverse. What they all have in common, and what we have firmly anchored in our vision, is a permanent striving towards innovation. We are already technological and world market leaders in many fields. Numerous patents and awards bear witness to this fact, as do our enduring, partner-like customer relationships. This is what drives us on.
TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION
Permanent InnovationThe driving force behind our technological lead
Innovative process technology:Screen printing andinspection of PCBs
Innovative manufacturing processes:Fully automated production cell for
sheet metal components
At our three foundries, we produce grey and nodular cast-iron parts, low-pressure die-cast parts made of aluminium and aluminium / nonferrous heavy metal sand casting parts. Hand-molded parts are also manufactured in serial production processes. For example, we annually cast 1200 units from a product range of planetary carriers for wind power plants, each one weighing between two and fi ve tons. According to a DENA study, by 2020 this industry will record an average annual growth rate of 16%. These products are characterized by the most demanding quality specifi cations with regard to materials and metallurgy (ADI). We will maintain our lead over the competition through on-going innovation. Despite the rapidly growing market, KURTZ guarantees its customers capacity and supply capability.

The manual soldering of wired components has become an economically unviable factor in countries with high wage costs and with regard to reproducibility aspects. Today, this is fully compensated for in the electronics manufacturing industry by selective soldering systems. ERSA is the world leader with its VERSAFLOW inline selective soldering systems.
For years AIRBUS has been relying on the precision of ERSA’s systems that assure that the highest standards of soldering can be reliably and comfortably reproduced.In the aerospace industry, where for instance control PCBs for on-board computers are produced, soldering quality is of paramount importance. This is just one aspect why production managers at AIRBUS, like many of their colleagues in the electronics manufacturing industry world-wide, favour VERSAFLOW.
In addition to many other product-related highlights, expert technical process consulting during the evaluation phase also represents true added value for users. On request, they can fi nd the perfect solution for their specifi c soldering tasks at the ERSA application center. This means that they can perform soldering trials on their own boards and on the machinery they want to use for that purpose. A service that AIRBUS also makes use of time and time again. Greater investment security is scarcely possible.

The global boom in fl at-panel screens results in logistical concepts that become more and more complex. In collaboration with its partners, KURTZ was able to increase the transport capacity of each 40-foot container for Samsung SDI by 68% with its new PDP packaging. The project specifi cations were extremely demanding. As the screens have to be stored horizontally and stacked, both torsion resistance on the one hand and suffi cient fl exibility to absorb shock on the other hand are necessary.
Appropriate frames with a high material density on the outside and low density on the inside were constructed as a rest for the fl at-panel screens. This process technique, which has been utilized for years in the EPS fi eld for dual-density parts, was employed here on an industrial scale for EPP products for the very fi rst time. Having attained series-production readiness, this innovative technology is now being used in the production of PDP packagings for Samsung SDI.
