Scheuermann + Heilig

What Scheuermann + Heilig does

SCHEUERMANN + HEILIG GmbH is a German family-owned metal-forming specialist headquartered in Buchen-Hainstadt, Germany. Founded in 1964 and currently in its second generation of family ownership, the company develops and produces three core product lines: complex hybrid assemblies combining metal-to-metal and metal-to-plastic connections, precision stamped and stamped-bent parts, and a full range of springs (helical, tension, compression, bent wire, and torsion). Operations are anchored in-house across the full value chain—from product development and toolmaking through to automated CNC-controlled series production—enabling the firm to act as both engineering development partner and serial-production supplier to industrial customers. It employs 501–1,000 people and operates a main production site in Germany plus a dedicated sales and customer-support office in São Paulo, Brazil.

The company's served verticals are Mobility (automotive and transport applications), Smart Solutions (electrical and electronics), Medical (medical devices and pharma packaging), and Individual Solutions (custom engineering requirements). Its go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise sales with no intermediaries, complemented by a regular trade-show presence at sector events including Pharmapack (Paris), MedtecLIVE (Stuttgart), Stanztec (Pforzheim), and Blechexpo (Stuttgart), and supported by a multilingual (German, English, Portuguese) website and an award-winning image film. Revenue is generated via project-based quotations on custom manufacturing engagements under standard B2B payment terms (30 days net, 2% discount for 10-day payment); no public pricing, revenue figures, or external investors have been disclosed.

The business model is intentionally non-platform and non-software: revenue derives from physical hardware sales of engineered metal components and assemblies, with differentiation grounded in hybrid production-process know-how, six decades of accumulated forming expertise, integrated toolmaking, and a formalized talent pipeline through dual study programmes with DHBW. The firm has consistently ranked among Germany's best employers and training companies and has received consecutive Gold sustainability awards for modular exhibition design.
