B² smart precision

Expanding our portfolio with fully machined parts

In order to expand the production portfolio and optimize process costs, BLANK decided to acquire a majority holding in BARUM AUTOMOTIVE S.R.L. in Romania at the beginning of 2020. The previous owner family Barth in Binzwangen, Germany, remains a co-partner. The independently operating BARUM AUTOMOTIVE S.R.L. was renamed B² smart precision and Mr. Wolfgang Barth of Barth Präzisionstechnik in Binzwangen and Mr. Alexander Lenert on the part of the BLANK-Group were appointed as the new management.

The purchase was the consequent next step in order to concentrate at one location the external services used in the processing and assembly area which were previously distributed across various service providers throughout Europe. "The close cooperation bundles synergies and allows us to take further steps forward thanks to the excellent know-how on both sides," explains Lenert.

For the BLANK-Group this expands the product portfolio, as precision parts made of steel and aluminium can now be offered in addition to investment castings. The awarding of the contracts to Romania also improves the competitiveness of the BLANK-Group in Riedlingen and increases its attractiveness on the market, which should lead to an improvement in the order situation. "We stand by the Riedlingen site and would like to continue investing in it in the future as we have done in previous years," emphasizes Hubert Deutsch.

B² smart precision – our services for you

Casting processing at economic conditions

Whether high-temperature and hot gas corrosion-resistant materials, steel alloys, aluminium and copper alloys or titanium alloys: we process all materials quickly and economically.

Blasting
Fettling
Mechanical processing
- Machining of cast parts, but also parts which are milled from the entire solid material
- Turning
- Grinding
- PECM machining: For materials that are difficult to machine, the use of the PECM process is a cost- effective alternative.
- Eroding
- Deep hole drilling: As the name already indicates, this type of processing is used for components whose bore is deeper than their outer diameter
Surface treatment

With us, the customer not only receives simple processing services - we offer the complete package! Therefore, in addition to mechanical processing steps, we also have surface treatment processes in our service portfolio. Depending on the customer's requirements we harden, galvanize, zinc-coat or impregnate your parts.
Technical assembly

Beside our core competence mechanical processing, B² smart precision also offers the assembly of your parts to finished assembly groups. By bundling individual parts to ready-to-deliver components we simplify the procurement process for you and ensure efficient and economical provision of your ready-to-install products.

Our range of services here includes the following:
- Riveting: This cost-effective type of component assembly can be used in both the automotive and industrial sector for various component parts. Beside using an additional rivet head part, a rivet head can also be designed onto the casting and cast with the casting part.
- Welding: Our welding processes are diverse and always oriented to the requirements of your product. Among others, we offer TIG welding, laser welding and EB welding.
