STRECON A/S
STRECON A/S (Sonderborg, Denmark, est. 2001) manufactures stripwinding-based prestressed tool systems and hydraulic presses for cold forging and diamond.
STRECON A/S is a Danish technology company headquartered in Sonderborg, in southern Denmark, specializing in the design and manufacture of prestressing tool systems, hydraulic presses, and robot-assisted polishing systems. The company was established as an independent entity in 2001, though its origins trace back to a Danfoss business unit started in the 1980s by Dr. Jens Gronbaek, who developed the core stripwinding technology during PhD research at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). STRECON is fully owned by its management: Erik Lund (Managing Director) and Christian Jepsen (Technical Director).
STRECON's primary innovation is the stripwinding technology, a mechanical prestressing process in which a specially heat-treated steel strip is wound under controlled back tension around a hardened core of high-alloyed tool steel or tungsten carbide. The resulting tool body achieves a constant stress profile with approximately double the strength of conventional tool systems. This technology is branded as the STRECON container system and is applied for cold precision forging, high-pressure synthesis of industrial diamonds and cubic boron nitride (CBN), high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) experiments in research settings, and other extreme-pressure applications.
Product lines include: Prestressing Tool Systems (SC series and Die Block System for horizontal and vertical presses), Hydraulic Press systems (Tool Assembly Press TAP, HPE Press for HP/HT experiments, and Felss forming machine partnership), Robot Assisted Polishing (RAP) systems for precision surface polishing of 2D and 3D tools and molds, and calculation software for stripwound container design.
STRECON exports its tool systems and press solutions to cold forging companies, diamond and CBN manufacturers, and universities in Denmark, Norway, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, Japan, Korea, and the USA. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and conducts all development, design, manufacturing, assembly, and testing in-house at its Sonderborg facilities.
