What Ixion does

IXION Langeloh Feinmechanik GmbH is a German precision-parts manufacturer headquartered in Wedel near Hamburg. Founded in 1950 (per the company 'Wer wir sind' and careers pages, though the website footer states 'seit 1946'), the firm employs approximately 60 staff including apprentices and operates from a single integrated facility housing all production, finishing, cleaning, assembly, and quality-assurance functions. Its customer base spans aviation, medical technology, laser technology, automotive, maritime, mechanical engineering, optics, and semiconductor industries, with medical technology, laser technology, and aviation treated as primary verticals.

The company's core offering is a single-source precision manufacturing stack: 3- and 5-axis CNC milling (workpieces up to 2600 mm, materials from plastics to high-alloy stainless steel using Okuma, DMG, and Makino centers), CNC turning (Ø 6–300 mm including bar-feed automation), surface finishing (polishing, grinding, chrome/gold/nickel/zinc plating, anodizing, hardening), a 7-basin ultrasonic cleaning line with cleanroom final rinse per DIN EN ISO 14644-1 Class 6 and optional cleanroom assembly, plus documentation-rich delivery. Quality is assured via coordinate measuring machines (Hexagon Global, Wenzel, Keyence, Mitutoyo) and inspection to AQL 1.0. Certifications include DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 (since 1996) and DIN EN ISO 13485:2016 (since April 2023), enabling direct supply into medical device manufacturing.

IXION makes money through quote-based, project-by-project B2B contracts: customers submit part drawings, IXION consults on manufacturability, and parts are produced as single units, prototypes, or small series. All customer acquisition runs through direct sales - website contact form, phone (+49 4103 8001700), or email ([email protected]) - with no resellers, marketplace presence, or self-serve channel. Revenue is transaction-based with ongoing repeat orders from long-tenured industrial customers managed by master craftsmen such as Prokurist Tjark Stockhusen. The company is privately held by the family of Managing Director Dennis Ruth (Feinwerkmechanikermeister, technischer Betriebswirt), with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries.

Revenue model

1. Custom Precision Manufacturing Services: IXION generates revenue by manufacturing custom precision mechanical components on a project-by-project basis. Customers submit part drawings (or have IXION consult on manufacturability), and IXION produces single parts, prototypes, or series runs. Services include CNC milling, CNC turning, surface finishing, ultrasonic cleaning, assembly, and delivery. Pricing is quote-based. Revenue is primarily one-time transaction-based, with ongoing repeat orders from established customer relationships. No subscription, usage-based, or freemium models are described.

Core offering

IXION manufactures custom precision mechanical components on a contract basis for industrial B2B customers in aviation, medical technology, laser technology, automotive, maritime, mechanical engineering, optics, and semiconductor industries. Services span CNC milling (3- and 5-axis), CNC turning, surface finishing, ultrasonic cleaning with cleanroom-grade rinsing, and assembly, all offered as a single-source, quote-based production service for prototypes and small-to-medium series.

Product overview

Ixion offers a unified precision manufacturing service portfolio combining six integrated capabilities: CNC milling, CNC turning, surface finishing, ultrasonic cleaning, assembly, and delivery. The company operates modern CNC machining centers and provides all services from a single source, optionally in cleanroom quality. The modular offering allows customers to select individual services or complete turnkey solutions from manufacturing through final delivery.

Products and services

• CNC-Fräsen (CNC Milling) Precision manufacturing of individual parts through to series production using modern 3- and 5-axis CNC machining centers. Capable of processing workpieces up to 2600 mm in size and a wide range of materials from plastics to high-alloy stainless steel. Serves B2B customers in aviation, medical technology, laser technology, automotive, maritime, mechanical engineering, optics, and semiconductor industries.
• CNC-Drehen (CNC Turning) Precision manufacturing on modern CNC turning machines with short bar loaders and conventional lathes, producing turned parts from Ø 6 mm to 300 mm diameter. Includes single-spindle for single-part production and multi-spindle for series production. Serves the same demanding industrial verticals as CNC milling.
• Oberflächen-Veredelung (Surface Finishing) A range of finishing procedures for precision parts, including polishing, grinding, chrome plating, gold plating, anodizing, nickel plating, burnishing, zinc plating, and various heat treatments (hardening, stress-relief annealing). Some services are provided through regional and supra-regional suppliers.
• Ultraschall-Reinigung (Ultrasonic Cleaning) High-performance ultrasonic cleaning system with 7 basins for particle-free and silicate-free component cleaning, including a final cleanroom rinse under conditions approximating DIN EN ISO 14644-1 Class 6, followed by cleanroom drying. Optional baking up to 250 °C. Handles components up to 1250×600×480 mm and 150 kg weight. Serves laser technology, semiconductor industry, and ultra-high vacuum technology applications.
