There is a folder of STEP and DXF files, a bill of materials, a quantity, and a date the parts have to be on a production line. What they do not want is to split that folder between a cutting shop, a bending shop, a welder and a coater, and then own every gap between them.<\/p><p><strong>Axinar manufactures the whole part.<\/strong> Fiber laser cutting, CNC press brake bending, plate rolling, MIG, TIG and laser welding, CNC milling and turning, deburring, powder coating and assembly all happen inside one plant near Thessaloniki, Greece, with hot-dip galvanizing at a certified partner. Ninety percent of what we produce is exported, most of it to customers who never visit the factory and judge us only by what arrives on the pallet.<\/p><p>We work to your drawing, your tolerances and your packaging specification.
