FOOKE GmbH

The Family Business FOOKE

The origins of the family business founded by Heinrich Fooke date back to 1904. Starting with a bicycle business including its own forge for the production of signs and fences, the business shifted completely to the construction of machines when Johannes Fooke took over in 1930. After the reconstruction of the company in the post-war years, Heinrich Fooke took over the management in 1956. From the church chandelier to the fish stick breading machine to the modern milling machine, he developed and built countless items of equipment and machinery. und Maschinen.

In 1994, he handed over the management of the family business to his 32-year-old son Johannes. In the years that followed, the contract structure had changed considerably, the projects became more complex and new business areas emerged. Today, the aircraft industry and rail transport are fixed components of the range of services.
Hendrik Fooke has been part of the family business since 2017. He is responsible for business field development and also secures the succession as future managing director.

Mechanical Engineering at its Best

For over 30 years, FOOKE has been manufacturing large and ultra-large 5-axis milling machines. In many cases, these machine tools are used as portal milling machines in various designs. Demanding customers from various industrial sectors rely on the proven and powerful ENDURA® machines and FSW systems from FOOKE. Among others, they are used in the aerospace, rail vehicle and automotive industries. Model and prototype construction as well as tool and mold making are areas of application in the automotive and aerospace industries.

FOOKE machine tools are characterized by their excellent quality of motion control. This is determined by highest dynamics, high accuracy and best surface quality. The particular reliability, availability and process safety also distinguish ENDURA® machines.

Deep in-house production - the journey of the material

Outstanding quality and highest possible efficiency achieved through state-of-the-art production technology, lean processes and deep in-house manufacturing.

FOOKE's core competence includes end-to-end engineering, starting from the customer's specifications. Here, FOOKE can point to extensive experience in the field of machining, the design and construction of structural components for motion machinery, the design and integration of feed drives, and the complete commissioning of complex machine tools. As a classic machine factory, FOOKE has a very high vertical range of manufacture. Thus, the structural components in the area of cutting, burning, welding are completely manufactured in-house and are also completed by the mechanical manufacturing and the in-house coloring. The company's own electrical design, control cabinet construction and electrical wiring of the machines are carried out on-site by the staff. In short, everything from one single source. Everything from one source.
