Precision Parts Dresden

What Precision Parts Dresden does

Pr\u00e4zisionsteile Dresden GmbH & Co. KG (Precision Parts Dresden, trading as PTD) is a German precision-machining contract manufacturer based in Dresden-Reick, producing complex rotationally symmetric metal components for the automotive, e-mobility/e-bike, hydrogen-technology, and solar-energy sectors. Founded in 1991 out of the former PENTACON camera-manufacturing operations, the company operates a single CNC-intensive production facility of approximately 90 employees and is privately held under GaBa Holding GmbH following a 2024 management buy-out from KAP AG. Its technical core is multi-stage CNC turning and gear manufacturing, with capabilities including power skiving for internal and external gearing up to DIN 7 quality, hydrostatic CNC turning centers, multi-channel CNC controls with integrated in-process measurement (tolerances to \u00b1 0.01 mm, surface finishes to Ra 0.8 \u00b5m), automated multi-spindle turning for series production up to 2,000,000 pieces per part annually, and an in-house Technical Cleanliness (TSA) laboratory. The company holds a granted patent on a cost-reduced manufacturing process for ISIS-tooth profile e-bike drive components.

The product portfolio spans CNC-turned parts, precision gears (external, internal, helical, spur, worm, rack), drive shafts, hollow shafts, crankshafts, toothed discs, and hybrid metal-plastic components delivered in partnership with sister companies GEAR MOTION GmbH (Ehingen, plastic injection moulding) and BEBUSCH Hung\u00e1ria KFT (Hungary, plastic specialist) within the GaBa Holding group. Revenue is generated through project-based contract manufacturing fees across the product lifecycle, from feasibility assessment and prototype through serial production, with multi-year supply agreements under IATF 16949 quality systems. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, supported by a multilingual website (27+ languages), active trade-show participation (MTO-Days, HZwo Days, Eurobike, Z-Messe, Supplier Trade Fair), and a "single point of contact" account management model. Pricing is quote-based and determined per project by part complexity, material selection, production volume (5,000 to 2,000,000 pieces annually), and precision requirements; revenue is not publicly disclosed.
