Core competencies and history of Otto Klostermann GmbH
A strong and innovative partner for sheet metal working and processing
Otto Klostermann GmbH is a family-owned company that was founded as a blacksmith’s shop by Otto Klostermann in 1848. In 1945, the company was taken over by Raymund Klostermann, who expanded it in 1969 and brought it to the new location at Merklinderstraße 5 in Castrop-Rauxel. As a result, more space was created for forging and the development of sheet metal forming, cold forming technology. In 1986 Thomas Klostermann became managing director, and with his brothers Martin Klostermann and Christian Klostermann, is still running the company in 5th generation.
The largest press brake in Europe
Our manufacturing facilities are located in Castrop-Rauxel, Germany, on an area of 30,000 m², 10,000 m² of which are roofed over. The photovoltaic system on the roof supplies the company with electricity; power generated in excess is fed into the grid. We are specialised in the production of large steel profiles. What makes our family company unique is that we own the largest press brake in Europe, with a bending length of 16,100 mm and a compressive force of 4,000 t. Other presses can even process parts of up to 20,000 mm in length and 200 mm in thickness.

Four reasons to choose Otto Klostermann GmbH
1.
Customer benefits:
The flame-cut blanks with the most complicated weld preparations are of particular interest for the production in renewable energies such as tripods, jackets and monopiles. This helps to avoid mechanical re-work of weld seam chamfers, which might be extremely expensive, especially on large components.
2.
Imitation protection:
Steel, Cutting and Cold-forming Technology at Otto Klostermann GmbH are the exclusive masters in our core competence and no competitor has yet been able to imitate them, because our know-how and the knowledge we have acquired ourselves push our machines to their performance limits, where even the manufacturers start throwing in the towel.
3.
Differentiation:
This core capability leads to a sustainable advantage over our competitors, as we are the only ones who can produce the complicated welds with abrupt bevel changes in one work step.
4.
Diversification:
The core capabilities provide potential access to new markets. Thanks to this, Steel, Cutting and Cold-forming Technology of Otto Klostermann GmbH has been awarded contracts in the wind energy sector.
