A total game-changer.
Silbertool helped the S stock team save serious time and money, staying with the toughest thread challenges until they were solved.
About
A thread-forming technology platform for critical connections.
Origins
Built from metal-forming research. Scaled for industrial thread problems.
Silbertool was founded on a clear technical thesis: where a thread can be formed instead of cut, the original material and geometry deserve to be preserved.
Founder
Philipp Silberkuhl
Founder of Silbertool and originator of the company's forming-first thread technology platform.
2009
Research origin
Silbertool traces its origin to Philipp Silberkuhl's work at the Institute for Metal Forming and Forming Machines at Leibniz University Hannover.
Idea
Controlled forming
The early idea was a mobile technology to roll a new thread on any cylindrical formable part, and restore damaged threads to an 'as-new' condition.
Platform
Beyond repair tools
That single idea became a broader thread-forming platform spanning Hybrid Thread Production, Post-Printing Threading, and Thread Restoration.
Today
International footprint
Silbertool supports customers through teams in the USA, Estonia, and Australia, with European production and development capabilities.
Operating principles
Engineering by construction
Build mechanisms, test with real parts, and translate field experience into application rules customers can trust.
Modular by design
Design products, rollers, thread sizes, and guidance so customers can start with a standard path and move to bespoke solutions when needed.
Forming, not cutting
Use controlled material displacement where suitable, and define clear boundaries when restoration or forming is not the right path.
Customer feedback
Trusted by professionals who cannot afford thread failure.

A life-saver.
Silbertool tools save time, avoid further damage, and outperform older methods such as thread files, dies, cleaners, and chasers.

Already paid itself off.
The tool paid for itself in the first week. Four SAF axle threads were restored already, with no trailer downtime.

Built with a global partner ecosystem.
Distribution partners
Regional partners help customers access product families and identify the right first step for restoration or application review.
Application partners
Service teams and specialists contribute field feedback that sharpens use cases, training, and application guidance.
Technology network
The wider network supports forming-based solutions across production, AM thread finishing, and restoration.
