Customers and interested parties keep asking us about the relationship between URBAN and SCHIRMER. In many production environments, you can see that the machining centres from SCHIRMER and the systems from URBAN harmonise perfectly with each other. This suggests that URBAN and SCHIRMER are firm contractual partners. However, we are not.

What unites us is the fact that URBAN and SCHIRMER are among the leading suppliers in their respective fields of application. As a result, we have many customers in common around the world and it goes without saying that we co-operate very closely - including through our sales offices and service partners. After all, our common goal is to offer our customers perfectly harmonised solutions, usually with a focus on effective performance with the highest quality and minimal personnel costs.

URBAN's service and sales partners worldwide also utilise this synergy effect by offering service and sales for URBAN and SCHIRMER entirely in the respective country. We at URBAN, with our very good and large network of service and sales centres in Europe and around the world, thus ensure that we are always close to our customers.

However, our subsidiaries and partners not only appreciate the excellent, independent co-operation with SCHIRMER, but also with other suppliers such as THORWESTEN or RAPID.

We would therefore like to make it clear that each customer decides completely independently and autonomously whether to opt for SCHIRMER or another provider in the high-end sector with regard to cutting and bar processing.

No matter which provider: Together, we are in a position to offer complete fabrications in all price categories and sizes and, through the URBAN branches and partners, we naturally also provide the necessary service.
