StarragHeckert AG has been established in 1897 as a manufacturer of textile machinery and looks back on 80 years of experience in the production of milling machines. Known for many years under different names, such as «Starrfräsmaschinen AG, La Rigide S.A., Rigid Limited, Swiss Rigid, Rigid Machine Tools», the uniform name of «StarragHeckert AG» was adopted in 2002
Today, StarragHeckert AG is not a classical machine tool builder anymore: - it has transformed into a cradle for high technology, a system provider and main contractor to its worldwide clientel |

StarragHeckert AG is a pioneer in 5 axes milling technology for the manufacture of complex components such as impellers, blisks, aircraft structures and blades. Through our own research and development efforts we have acquired vast experience in the machining of exotic, i.e. difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium, Inconel, Nimonic, high alloy steels and aluminum, whilst reducing cycle times by applying the latest high speed milling techniques.
Our sophisticated machining centers are installed as stand-alone units or can be integrated in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS). Today, StarragHeckert AG has become a leading supplier of manufacturing systems to the aerospace and power generation industries. Through the acquisition of the German machine tool builder Heckert in 1998, the product range of the new StarragHeckert Group was complemented with a range of small, medium and large 4 axis machining centers of compact and dynamic design, which find their application in the automotive industry and its subcontractors, but also in many other sectors of mechanical engineering.
