Slinet Variobend

Everything from a single source.

Whether it’s a coil or a pre-bent profile: Under the Variobend and Slinet brands, ASCO develops and manufactures machines that cover the entire sheet metal processing chain—from slitting and storing the coil to precise bending. Made in Bischofswiesen, in the heart of the Berchtesgadener Land region.

A Passion for Technology Who's Behind ASCO

ASCO is the common denominator of two machine-building brands that work together seamlessly: Variobend specializes in long length bending machiness and double bending machines, while Slinet focuses on slitting lines and fully automated coil storage systems. Both brands are developed, engineered, and manufactured at the same location—with the goal of offering customers a seamless, digitally networked solution for sheet metal processing without the need for additional software or third-party interfaces.

Two Brands, One Goal Varionbend - Slinet

With the EB series (long length bending machines), the DB double-bending machine, and the fully electric Variobend V2.5, Variobend offers a unique bending system with angled bending beams, complemented by automation solutions and the Variobend software for efficient, user-friendly manufacturing processes. 

With the S1.0 and S1.5 slitting lines, the fully automatic coil storage system, and the Flexcut bevel-cut module, Slinet ensures precise cuts with minimal setup times and transforms coil handling into an industry innovation—including seamless software integration.

Because both systems come from a single source, Slinet systems and Variobend machines can be networked without additional third-party software—ensuring a seamless, automated workflow from coil to finished component.

2017

Move into the newly constructed ASCO corporate building in Bischofswiesen, featuring significantly expanded office and production space.

2018

Slinet marks the launch of a second product family: slitting lines and a dynamic coil storage system expand the existing Variobend portfolio to include the upstream process steps of sheet metal processing.

2020

With the addition of another production facility at the Bischofswiesen site, manufacturing capacity will be expanded once again, laying the groundwork for further growth.

2023

By expanding our facility to include a second production hall and a spacious showroom, we are creating room for further growth and personalized customer experiences.

Today

Innovation never stands still. We are constantly refining our products and, through new technologies and innovative solutions, continue to set the pace for the future of sheet metal processing.
