What exeron does

exeron GmbH is a German precision machine tool manufacturer founded in 1966 and headquartered in Oberndorf, with 51-100 employees. The company designs and builds two core product lines: the EDM Line of electrical discharge machining equipment (models EDM 310 through EDM 316XXL, including the exogen technology module) and the HSC Line of high-speed cutting milling machines in 3-axis and 5-axis configurations (HSC 300/3, 600/3, MP7/3, MP11/3 and HSC 600/5, MP7/5, MP9/5, MP11/5). Supporting platforms include exogrind (combined HSC milling, coordinate grinding, and in-process measurement), automation handling and software, and a Second Life Machine retrofit program. Architectural differentiators include proprietary Cool Base thermal-stability cooling, Easy Clean design, Low Noise encapsulation, maintenance-free linear direct drives, and spindles up to 42,000 rpm via an exclusive partnership with Step-Tec, with machine control delivered through an exclusive Heidenhain TNC partnership.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of high-end machine tools to enterprise customers in tool and mold making, medical technology, aerospace, automotive, energy and turbines, and luxury consumer goods. The company sells directly in Germany and through a worldwide network of distribution partners internationally. Pricing is quote-based and consultative with no public list pricing; a Pay-Per-Use financing model has been introduced to lower the upfront capital threshold for buyers. Marketing and sales rely on trade shows, showroom demonstrations, and customer-specific trial machining services. The company is privately held (GmbH), with Stefan Pross and Dr. Felix Prothmann serving as Managing Directors.

No funding rounds, M&A activity, revenue figures, patents, awards, or regulatory actions are disclosed in the available data; stated operational metrics include 100% spare parts availability (per the exofacts section of the company website).

Core offering

exeron GmbH manufactures and sells high-end EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) erosion machines and HSC (High-Speed Cutting) precision milling machines for industrial customers. The portfolio covers the EDM Line (EDM 310 through EDM 316XXL), the HSC Line (3-axis and 5-axis models from HSC 300/3 through HSC MP11/5), automation/handling solutions, and a Second Life Machine refurbished/retrofit program, supported by a Pay-Per-Use financing option.

Product overview

exeron GmbH is a German manufacturer of precision machining equipment offering two core product lines: the EDM Line (electrical discharge machining) and the HSC Line (high-speed cutting milling). The EDM Line includes models from EDM 310 to EDM 316XXL plus the exogen EDM technology. The HSC Line comprises both 3-axis models (HSC 300/3, HSC 600/3, HSC MP7/3, HSC MP11/3) and 5-axis models (HSC 600/5, HSC MP7/5, HSC MP9/5, HSC MP11/5) featuring Heidenhain TNC control, Step-Tec spindles, and Cool Base temperature management systems. Supporting technologies include Koordinatenschleifen (coordinate grinding), automation handling systems, and a Second Life Machine retrofit program. The company also provides Pay-Per-Use financing options and comprehensive before/after-sales service.
