Laser and bending duo for demanding metal processing in special formats

KreLe GmbH, based in the Innviertel region of Upper Austria, has been manufacturing precise laser parts and laser bent parts for customers in the mechanical engineering, metal technology, and locksmith industries in Austria and Germany since 2022. At the heart of the modern machinery are a MasterLINE laser cutting machine (which is sold in German-speaking countries under the product name “MSE SmartFL”) and a EuroMaster press brake, with which KreLe can precisely implement even demanding 3D components. In addition to state-of-the-art CNC technology, the company particularly appreciates the personal and reliable service of MicroStep Europa (ACCURL partner in Germany).

Founded by Florian Lengauer and Maximilian Kreiseder, KreLe produces state-of-the-art solutions for metal processing at its Perwang am Grabensee site – from prototype production to series production. The customer base mainly includes companies from the mechanical engineering sector in Austria and Germany, but metal technology and locksmith companies also rely on KreLe's expertise. With around 1,000 tons of raw material processed annually, the contract manufacturer is recording steady growth. However, despite the increasing volume of orders, KreLe remains flexible with its current four employees and can also reliably implement short-term customer orders.

Fiber lasers and press brakes from ACCURL in use

Since 2023, KreLe has been relying on a cutting system from the MasterLINE series from ACCURL. Equipped with 6 kW 2D fiber laser technology, an automatic shuttle table and a working area of 4,000 x 2,000 mm, the company uses it to cut steel up to 25 mm and aluminum and stainless steel up to 15 mm sheet thickness. Initially, a used press brake complemented the machinery, which was replaced by a EuroMaster from ACCURL at the end of 2024. This offers 320 tons of press force, a bending length of 4,000 mm and is equipped with an angle measuring system, bending aids and a modern Delem control system. "This means that we can realize all 3D components and are also ideally positioned when it comes to bending," emphasizes managing director Florian Lengauer. KreLe rounds off its range of services with additional processing steps such as welding and edge rounding using a deburring machine.

Technology and partnership on an equal footing

The state-of-the-art machinery enables the production of special formats up to 4,000 mm in length using the latest CNC technology. For managing director Maximilian Kreiseder, the choice of machine supplier was quickly clear: "We chose MicroStep Europa, the responsible ACCURL dealer for all German-speaking countries, because of their humanity, because contact with customers is simply their top priority, as is for us. Whether in the field or by technicians on site: The support provided by MicroStep Europa convinced KreLe from the very beginning. The most important thing for us was the service. They are actually available for us around the clock. Not least, that was the decisive reason why we also purchased the second machine from MicroStep Europa."
