HELPING OUR CUSTOMERS TO INCREASE THEIR PROFITS
PRODUCT OPTIMISATION
ASSEMBLY SUBCONTRACTING
LKL Staal engineers can help you identify
opportunities for cost reductions, weight savings
and for making your product more efficient. Our
goal is to give your product a competitive
advantage within your market.
Next to delivering single components, LKL
Staal also delivers assemblies of these, like
gear boxes. All are assembled in the subsidiary
company in China, which results in a significant
reduction of labour costs.
PROCESS ENGINEERING
CNC MACHINING AND SURFACE TREATMENT
Every production process is unique.
LKL Staal controls the whole production
process from order to delivery. Our expertise
complemented with simulation software result
in short production times and high reliability.
The biggest savings are from parts that are
supplied in fully machined condition and
including surface treatment. LKL Staal
focusses on turnkey delivery, which means
you will only have one supplier for the entire
supply chain.
CONVERTING WELDMENTS INTO CASTINGS
A proven succesful method for lowering the cost price of products is to convert a welding
(fabrication) into casting. This saves labour time, material and it often improves the
functional properties of the product.
LKL Staal engineers are more than happy to help you reducing costs, and optimizing your
products!
From laser cutting, welding and machining to casting and machining. Saving more than 40% of the costs!

LKL CNC MACHINING DIVISION IN CHINA
Precision machining is a real challenge in China. It often leads to high
rejection rates and delays in delivery time.
To guarantee product quality and delivery performance LKL will produce critical
components in its own Machining Division in Wuxi
Besides processing of casted and forged parts, products machined from bar/plate can also
be delivered.
All processes are carried out under Dutch management.

WE TAKE AWAY YOUR QUALITY AND DELIVERY CONCERNS
Quality is not set in stone and can be interpreted as material properties
(chemical / mechanical), visual aspects, material structure, dimensions and
even delivery time. This makes every customer and every product unique.
LKL Staal maps out your desired quality and secures it, so that costs
of rejection and inspection can be reduced.
LKL Wuxi has a fully equipped material science laboratory where,
independent from the factories, the following inspections can be
performed:
- Chemical material analysis
- Material structure analysis
- Mechanical material analysis
- Magnetic particle inspection
Dimensional control takes place according to your specifications.
Products will only be shipped out after full QC approval.
This results in lower costs and high delivery reliability!
LKL LOGISTICS
Products are packed optimally to ensure efficient transport. Your packing requirements will be
our starting point. Packaging with your logo, specific dimensions and material are possibile.
The LKL logistics department works with various logistic models. From delivery of full containers
directly to the customer, to a kanban model in which automatically generated customer orders
are delivered by courier daily.
By request LKL Staal can keep stock for you, both in China and The Netherlands. This ensures
a high delivery flexibility.
We can assist you in optimizing your stock levels and inform you about the logistical status
of your product. This results in an efficient supply chain organization, which LKL Staal monitors
for you.
CASTING TOLERANCES AND COMMON MATERIALS
We often get the question what tolerances can be kept using different casting
techniques. On this page you will find the information you need. Feel free to
