Established as “Lamberts & Burgfoff” in 1937 by machine fitter Heinrich Lamberts and tool maker Walter Burghoff, we have worked ever since then in keeping with the tradition of precision and quality.
Burgtec is an independent, family-owned medium-sized enterprise and is managed in the 3rd generation by Volker Burghoff, the grandson of the founder Walter Burghoff.
During its first few decades, the company focussed on producing less complex turned parts made of brass for the domestic fittings industry. Through extensive investment in buildings and machines, as well as the ongoing qualification of its employees, Burgtec has grown steadily, evolving from a simple contract manufacturer into a recognised partner to its customers in many different sectors of industry.
In 2002, the company relocated to a new industrial park in the north of Iserlohn, with its convenient transport connections at the interface between the Sauerland and Ruhr regions.
At the same time, the company was renamed into Burgtec Systemlösungen.
In the following years, our activities focussed on continued modernisation of the machine park, as well as orienting our processes to accommodate the increasing demands of our national and international customers. Today, Burgtec manufactures turned and milled parts in a variety of materials on modern processing machinery with qualified employees.
