Since 1992, we are a wholly-owned subsidiary of the “Friedr. Dick GmbH & Co. KG” corporate group in Deizisau, Germany. Today, more than 40 employees work at our branch in Remscheid, Germany. The combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern manufacturing processes are the reason for the worldwide success of our company and its products.
Our products
Circular knives and machine knives are indispensable for the individual
processing of various materials and fabrics, as most mass goods can only be
split, disassembled and cut economically with machines. The blades used in processes
like this are stressed on a near-permanent basis, and have to have the highest
possible lifetime in order to be economically efficient. Thus, the proper
choice of blade shape and corresponding cutting edge, as well as premium material
quality and processing are of utmost importance.
Against this background, we at
“von den Steinen” use the exact structural shapes, materials and coatings
dependent on our customers’ requirements, in order to guarantee the highest
possible durability and longest usage of our blades.
The processing of food demands a cautious compliance with hygiene
regulations.
The circular knives used there must live up to the highest demands of lifetime,
durability and quality as well.
Therefore, we exclusively use stainless steel
for products of the food industry.
Knives have to be low-wear and resistant to pitting corrosion even under persistent
usage, frequent purification and extreme conditions
(e.g. processing of fish on
fishing fleets).
We develop and manufacture our products with focus on this standards, as we
are convinced that we will always be able to
improve our products and ourselves.
Resting on our oars? Not our philosophy.
That is why we have made huge efforts in research and development in 1996,
with the objective to live up to the standards of the fishing industry.
We have
gained massive knowledge regarding processing of stainless steel during this
period of time. Products of the food industry are also rated
considerably high
at “von den Steinen”. This is the reason we pay particular attention on the
consistent quality of our knives in this value chain.
They
are therefore suitable for usage under extreme conditions, e.g. in the field of
deep-sea fishery. Even the constant contact with saline sea air and sea water
will not affect our products at all. In order to meet and even surpass high
quality standards like this with our knives and tools, we constantly develop our
products further.
We take advantage of this accumulated knowledge in the
production of our circular knives for cutting kebab, gyros and suchlike. As the
slicers for kebab came onto the market, first of those got equipped with our knives
right away. We have continuously monitored the progression of this industry and
took part in a lot of new product developments.
We have addressed reduction in
friction for kebab cutting as well as minimization of noise for gyros cutting
with toothed circular knives. Moreover, a sharpening device for circular knives
on slicers has been developed (DiaReno).
