HEULE

HEULE Precision Tools – a global leader in its field

Deburring, chamfering, reverse-counterboring as a single process or in combination with drilling. HEULE is an innovative supplier of unique tools for machining the front and back edges of bores – even on curved contours. The family-owned company from Balgach in the Rhine Valley, Switzerland, supplies numerous well-known automotive and aerospace manufacturers via four subsidiaries and numerous sales partners.

From the very beginning, the company HEULE, founded in 1961, focused on optimising process times in machining. Heinrich Heule was the first to design a tool that could deburr, chamfer and counterbore on one axis from the front and the back in one single operation. It was first used for in-house applications, but soon well-known industrial companies also came to benefit from the solutions.

Engineering customer-specific solutions has remained the driving force to this day. Detailed dialogue with the customer and many years of experience form the basis for innovative, cooperative development of customised solutions. A modern machine park gives HEULE the flexibility to take unconventional paths, while at the same time, a comprehensive range of standard tools has been established. There is also a second reason why HEULE is so innovative. Senior boss Heinrich Heule explains: «It is the family-like company culture. In an atmosphere of respect and trust, people talk and discuss a lot across hierarchical and technical boundaries. That encourages innovation and problem solving.»

In the meantime, HEULE Werkzeug AG has advanced to become the world's leading supplier of deburring technology with its own subsidiaries in Germany, the USA, China and Korea as well as representatives in numerous countries all around the world. Today, many well-known automobile manufacturers utilise our know-how in the back machining of bore edges. The tools are also tested and approved in the aircraft industry at Airbus, Boeing, GE among many others.
