Springtec Group

What Springtec Group does

Springtec Group is a privately held German precision-manufacturing group specializing in springs, stamped parts, and bent parts produced from strip steel and wire. The group operates through six wholly owned German subsidiaries, all headquartered around Iserlohn/Schalksmühle in the Märkischer Kreis region plus one site in Mauer/Heidelberg, with a seventh greenfield site in Nantong, China established in 2025. Roots trace to C.W. Hanebeck Söhne, founded in 1847, making Springtec one of the longest continuously operating precision-parts manufacturers in Germany. The group is controlled by the family holding H&H Verwaltungs GmbH (Andreas Jansen and Knut Schuster).

The manufacturing platform is built around 285+ machines, including 32 Bruderer automatic stamping presses, 50 Bihler multi-slide machines, and 35+ WAFIOS/Itaya/MEC spring coiling units, supported by downstream processing for grinding, tempering, shot peening, and vibratory grinding. An in-house tool shop staffed by 30+ experienced toolmakers enables rapid prototyping and tooling optimization. The product portfolio spans compression, extension, torsion, and double torsion springs; wire-formed parts; retaining rings and wave washers; sleeves and contact parts; flat springs; and assemblies with laser welding or riveting. Quality control is handled through 100% camera inspection on key production lines, and the group holds group-wide ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949:2016 (automotive), ISO 14001:2015 (environmental), and ISO 50001:2018 (energy management) certifications, plus CQI-9 at Springtec Löw.

Commercially, Springtec runs a direct B2B sales model with key account structures and a stated 'one-face-to-the-customer' principle, selling custom-manufactured components priced by specification, volume, and complexity to industrial OEMs. Automotive is the primary vertical (electric drives, restraint systems, locking, seating, hinges), with secondary exposure to electrical engineering (switchgear, busbars), medical technology (inhalers, insulin pumps/pens), sanitary and building technology, household appliances, and furniture/fittings. Group annual revenue is approximately €60M with ~400 employees; Springtec Innology (acquired 2020, ~€17M) is the largest subsidiary. The group markets a 'SUSTAMPABLE' initiative under which one location has already achieved carbon-neutral production.
