Our Vision

We're rooted in our down-to-earth nature and traditions, yet equally excited by technology and innovation. Handcrafting as the origin, the lathe as its catalyst, robotics as its evolution: a harmonious interplay between human skill and machine precision. Throughout this dance, the hallmark of handcrafted quality remains our unwavering focus.

Commitment to the Environment.

Sustainability isn't just a passing fad for us at Drechslerei Klotz Woodturning; it's a pledge we live by. We prioritize local timber to cut down on transport distances and curb our carbon footprint. Each plank and chip that touches our lathe is selected with deep respect for our planet. We're all about reducing waste – whatever doesn't become part of our creations is transformed into heating power. This is how we close the loop, maintaining a production process that's as eco-friendly as it is efficient.
