After first production step using cold-isostatic pressing (CIP) as forming technology the ceramic pre-forms are subsequently green machined and finished on 10 CNC- or NC-machines.

History of BCE Special Ceramics GmbH
BCE Special Ceramics was founded by Hermann Bertsch in 1986. This Mannheim-based company has remained an owner-led, independent enterprise. Our company experienced steady growth. This lead to a relocation to a business complex in the Mannheim/Friedrichsfeld area.
Periodic expansions, the most recent in 2005, enabled us to add a department for medical technology development and production.
