Machines by Csepel
Csepel - a legendary brand name of Hungarian machine tools.
Csepel factory ( formerly called as WMM after it’s founder Weiss Manfred ) had it’s name after it’s location ie. it’s been laid on the Danube-island Csepel. The upper end of the island is part of Budapest, capital of Hungary where the factory is located. Csepel Steel and Metalworks had different factories, one of them was Csepel Machine tools Factory that estabilished it’s heritage between 1948 and 1990. The factory’s main intent to produce relatively simple to operate but high quality, reliable machines for the industry of socialist countries lead to a great success. During the time of economic conjuncture the factory produced hundreds of different machines yearly and since their quality and robustness became obvious very soon CSMTF became a machine-tools supplier of Soviet military industry . Among the most successful products were the RF- and later the improved RFh-range of Radial drillig machines, today worldwidely known as the most reliable solution of heavy-duty industrial drilling. After the political changes in 1995 Csepel has finished the production of these machine lines.
