Kolling Metal Construction

What Kolling Metal Construction does

CB Kollinger Metallbau GmbH (operating as Kolling Metal Construction) is a German B2B metal fabrication company founded in 1972 in Hawangen, Bavaria, and operating from a 37,000 m² site with 23,000 m² of production area. The company offers end-to-end metal manufacturing services — laser cutting (Bystronic BySprint Fiber 3015), sheet metal bending and forming (Trumpf TruBend 7036, Salvagnini P4lean, Xpert 80/1530 robot), welding (WIG/MAG robotic, Trumpf-Kuka laser, Panasonic TAWERS PerformArc), powder coating, surface finishing (deburring, glass-bead blasting), assembly, and logistics from a 2,000+ slot high-bay warehouse. The portfolio is organized into two horizontal solution areas: Ladenbau (store/shop fitting for retailers, furniture makers, and interior outfitters) and Industrie (industrial components for machinery, vehicles, electronics, and woodworking equipment).

The company sells through direct B2B sales to enterprise customers with quote-based pricing, no publicly disclosed list rates, and multi-year contract cadence. End customers include blue-chip OEMs and retailers such as Volkswagen, Panasonic, JVC, Metz, Vorwerk, WMF, Goldhofer, Hundegger, Quick Schuh, and Toom. The company is DIN ISO 9001:2015 certified by TÜV SÜD and employs approximately 170 staff, including specialized welders and CNC operators trained through an internal apprentice program.

Ownership transferred from the founding Kollinger/Polgar families to the CB Group conglomerate and managing director Thomas Bender in 2021; CB Kollinger is the sister entity to CB-tec GmbH within CB Group. Revenue is generated almost entirely through custom one-time fabrication services (consultation, CAD construction, prototyping, serial production, assembly, logistics) rather than recurring or licensed revenue streams.

Others

• Trumpf SE + Co. KG: German machine-tool manufacturer and existing Kollinger equipment supplier (TruBend 7036, Trumpf-Kuka laser welding robot). Included as an ecosystem participant — its product roadmap directly shapes Kollinger's process economics and capex requirements.
• Bystronic AG: Swiss sheet-metal processing machinery supplier and existing Kollinger partner (BySprint Fiber 3015 laser cutters with ByTrans automation). As an upstream equipment vendor, its technology roadmap directly defines Kollinger's competitive positioning.
• Salvagnini S.p.A. Italian manufacturer of flexible sheet-metal processing systems (including the P4lean bending center installed at Kollinger). Like Trumpf and Bystronic, an ecosystem enabler whose automation platforms shape the productivity of contract fabricators like Kollinger.

Broad incumbents

• Benteler International AG: Austrian-headquartered global metal processing and automotive components group. Overlaps with Kollinger in sheet-metal-formed components supplied to OEMs (notably Volkswagen) but operates at much greater scale across multiple product categories.
• voestalpine AG: Austrian integrated steel and metal-processing group with automotive, industrial and store-fitting exposures. Operates across the full metal value chain upstream and downstream of Kollinger's contract fabrication niche, supplying similar end-customers.
• ThyssenKrupp AG: Large German steel and industrial components conglomerate with materials, automotive technology and steel Europe divisions. Competes broadly for the same industrial OEM wallet, though at vastly greater scale and vertical integration than Kollinger.
• Hydro ASA: Norwegian aluminum and metal solutions provider with automotive, transport and industrial customer overlap. Relevant comparator for the aluminum/light-metal fabrication work Kollinger performs for customers like Volkswagen and Goldhofer.
• Mubea Group: German automotive supplier of precision-formed metal components (suspension, body, drivetrain parts). Comparable in metal-fabrication process know-how and tier-1 customer orientation, though larger and more automotive-focused than Kollinger.

Direct peers

• Kirchhoff Automotive: German family-owned supplier of formed metal and plastic structural components for automotive OEMs. Direct comparable in being a Mittelstand manufacturer serving blue-chip auto and industrial customers with sheet-metal processing capabilities.
• Welser Profile GmbH & Co KG: Austrian/German manufacturer of custom roll-formed and laser-welded steel profiles serving industrial and store-fitting customers. Highly comparable mid-sized European metal fabricator with similar B2B project-based business model and overlapping customer end-markets.
