Berger Group

What Berger Group does

Berger Group (legal entity: Berger Holding GmbH & Co. KG) is a German family-owned precision components manufacturer founded in 1955 by Alois Berger and headquartered in Memmingen. The company produces ready-to-install turned, machined, and ground metal components in diameters from 2 mm to 2,000 mm and lengths up to 3,000 mm, using approximately 1,000 machines across 11 factories in Germany, Poland, the United States, Canada, and China — totaling over 90,000 m² of production area and more than 2,400 employees. Its core manufacturing technologies include single- and multi-spindle CNC lathes, the proprietary Bergomat CTC16 rotary transfer machine (up to 93 axes), PECM electrochemical machining jointly developed with a machine manufacturer and customer, nanoprecision superfinishing, and in-house heat treatment (vacuum hardening, carburizing, gas nitriding) operated under the Berger Härtetechnik brand since 1985. Tool development is handled in-house via ProProTec, acquired in 2013.

The company generates revenue through direct B2B sales of manufactured components and assemblies to enterprise OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, with quote-based unit pricing tied to complexity, material, and volume, and production runs ranging from single prototypes to 20+ million units annually. Its primary vertical is automotive (engine, fuel injection, transmission, steering, brake, and chassis components supplied to Schaeffler, Bosch, Continental, GM, Daimler, ZF, Cummins, Delphi, Vitesco), with additional revenue from commercial vehicles, e-mobility, machine construction (DMG MORI, Trumpf, Rexroth, SEW-Eurodrive, Tornos), power tools, aerospace (AS9100D-certified at the Canadian facility), and medical technology. It holds ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, ISO 27001, and AS9100 certifications across its facilities and has been entirely self-financed under family ownership throughout its 70-year history.
