What Neugart GmbH does

Neugart GmbH is a family-owned German precision gearbox manufacturer headquartered in Kippenheim, Baden-Württemberg, founded in 1928 and operating with between 501 and 1,000 employees. The company designs and produces a broad portfolio of precision gearboxes, including planetary, coaxial, multi-stage, bevel, hypoid, flange, and right-angle gearboxes, alongside complete rack-and-pinion drive systems and the high-end pro-Series precision gearbox line introduced as a new performance class. Specialized SKUs include the NDF and NDFC gearboxes engineered for delta-robot pick-and-place applications.

The company's go-to-market combines direct technical sales with a network of wholly owned subsidiaries in Italy (Neugart Italia S.r.l.), Turkey (Neugart Redüktör San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti.), and Brazil (Neugart do Brasil Equipamentos Industriais Ltda), supplemented by EMEA channel partners and distributors. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Neugart invests in a digital ecosystem that wraps its hardware: the Tec Data Finder configurator (with CAD downloads and quote requests), the Neugart Calculation Program (NCP) for drive dimensioning, a product filter, an online service portal, the Neugart Academy training program, and a recently deployed AI support agent named "Karl." Customers span four primary verticals: industrial automation and robotics, packaging machinery, machine tools, and food and beverage.

Ownership remains within the founding Neugart family through Neugart Holding GmbH, with Lennart Neugart having become a co-owner to reinforce long-term independence. Two managing directors, Swen Herrmann and Holger Obergföll, run day-to-day operations. Strategic positioning includes selection into the Bosch Rexroth Supplier Partnering Program 2026-2028, multilingual website deployment in nine languages, and participation in international trade shows including the Qingdao International Machine Tools Exhibition in China, signaling ongoing global commercial buildout on top of a 1928-established manufacturing base.
