Unparalleled precision and process expertise for the medical technology industry
Medical Technology
In the medical technology sector, the requirements for joining processes are uncompromising: absolute sterility, complete documentation, and mechanical perfection are the norm. FMW Friedrich provides the specialized riveting technology that meets these high standards—from small-batch manual production to fully automated manufacturing.

High-Quality Surgical Instruments
Precision Riveting Technology


The manufacture of high-quality surgical instruments places special demands on joining technology. Our radial spot-riveting technology sets the standard in this area:
- Smooth-Moving Joints: For shears, pliers, and clamps, we provide precisely adjustable smooth operation with maximum stability.
- Smooth Surfaces: We manufacture rivet heads with the highest surface finish. This prevents “bacterial traps” and ensures optimal sterilizability.
- Minimal impact on the material: Joining and forming without thermal stress, thereby preserving the microstructure and corrosion resistance.

Endoscopes, biopsy forceps, and sterile containers
Solutions for Medical Devices
Our expertise in custom machine building covers the entire spectrum of medical technology hardware:
- Endoscopes: High-precision riveting of the smallest mechanical components in the optical and control systems.
- Biopsy forceps: Micromechanical joining processes for minimally invasive surgical instruments with extremely tight tolerances.
- Sterile storage containers: Robust and hygienic assembly of lids, handles, and hinges on sterilization containers and sieve baskets.
- Orthopedic implants & instruments: Secure fastening of functional components under cleanroom conditions.
