What Fill does

Fill Maschinenbau (FILL Gesellschaft m.b.H.) is a 100% family-owned Austrian industrial engineering company founded in 1966 and headquartered in Gurten, Upper Austria. The company designs, manufactures, and commissions complex high-tech production systems and automated manufacturing solutions for four primary verticals: automotive, aerospace, sport, and wood and construction. It operates three competency centers covering plastics/aerospace (Kunststoff), wood processing (Holz), and metal/foam processing (Metall), and is organized as a Gesellschaft m.b.H. with over 1,000 employees. Andreas Fill serves as CEO alongside CFO/CSO Martin Reiter, CTO Alois Wiesinger, and COO Günter Redhammer.

The product portfolio combines capital equipment with proprietary software. Core hardware lines include the ACCUBOT NDT robotics platform (articulating-arm and gantry variants) for aerospace non-destructive testing with 0.1mm positioning accuracy, the SPEEDLINER high-performance bandsaw, SPEEDFILLER defect repair systems, SPEEDCOMPOSER joint gluing systems, and IR-Expander particle foam and PUR production systems. The FILL STUDIO software platform acts as a vendor-agnostic orchestration layer for NDT, metrology, and vision inspection, integrating sensors from partners such as Siemens, FORCE, SONOTEC, XARION, VISICONSULT, and Creaform. The CYBERNETICS software family (PRODUCE, VISION, SIMULATION, ANALYZE) provides production data capture and ERP/MES connectivity.

Fill generates revenue primarily through project-based sales of custom machinery and systems sold directly to enterprise manufacturers (e.g., BMW, BAE Systems, SAAB, Hamberger) supplemented by aftermarket service, spare parts, and technical support. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Disclosed operating performance (Betriebsleistung) for fiscal year 2024 was €202.5 million. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct international engagement, supported by an active trade show presence across LIGNA, EMO, AMB, Aluminium, ASNT, and Sportmesse, plus an installed base of 50+ FILL STUDIO sites and 200+ bandsaw modules. The company is recognized as Austria's most innovative company in 2026.
