What Spreitzer does

Spreitzer GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German precision manufacturer, founded in 1983 in Gosheim and now headquartered in Rottweil, Baden-Württemberg, that designs and produces complex system solutions for clamping technology, measurement technology, custom fixtures, and automation. Its core portfolio spans modular clamping systems (Universal-Spannsystem, Zentrischspanner, Nullpunktspannsystem), specialized workholding methods (magnetic, vacuum, freezing, stationary), the ALUMESS and ALUMESS.easyloc sub-brands for coordinate-measuring-machine and laser-processing fixtures, run-out measurement devices and modular measuring kits, and automation products including pallet systems, wireless sensor accessories, and quick-change interfaces. It also offers special fixtures engineered jointly with customers, plasma nitriding surface treatment, and CNC contract manufacturing (milling, turning, grinding, drilling). The firm operates ISO 9001:2015-certified development, production, and sales, with 100% outgoing quality control.

The company sells primarily to industrial manufacturers across ten declared verticals — mechanical and plant engineering, tool and mold making, automation technology, motor and drive technology, medical technology, aviation, energy and water supply, motorsport, construction technology, and electrical engineering — with case-study evidence of tripled production capacity and 24/7 unmanned-shift automation deployments. Its go-to-market is sales-led and B2B, combining direct phone/email sales, an e-commerce shop (shop.spreitzer.de), free online video consultation via Microsoft Teams or FaceTime, equipment rental/leasing, and a multi-language website (German, English, French, Italian, Spanish) supported by Google Ads and active social profiles.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across hardware sales (clamping, measurement, special fixtures), professional services (plasma nitriding, CNC contract manufacturing, repair), and licensing-style revenue (rental and leasing). Spreitzer is founder- and family-controlled under a GmbH & Co. KG structure with Michael Spreitzer as managing director, has 11-50 employees per the firmographic record, and operates without external institutional investors, public listing, or disclosed subsidiaries. Its strategic positioning is anchored in the Manufacturing Alliance international network alongside partners such as Wenzel, system 3R, Zoller, and TopSolid.
