Bernhard Gotzeina & Co

What Bernhard Gotzeina & Co does

Bernhard Gotzeina & Co. GmbH is a privately held, owner-managed family business (Mittelstand) headquartered in Eisfeld, Thuringia, Germany, founded in 1992. The company manufactures precision turned parts, milled parts, and assembled components for industrial customers across Germany, Europe, and overseas markets. Its core capabilities span CNC multi-spindle turning for medium-to-large series production of parts up to Ø250mm, CNC long-turning of parts from Ø1mm to Ø32mm with lengths up to approximately 1,000mm, and miniature parts machining down to Ø0.1mm at its Apolda site, with additional specialty in plastic machining (POM, PEEK, PTFE, Iglidur). The technology stack is built on continuously renewed CNC turning, milling, and metrology equipment, supported by an in-house secondary operations suite (cylindrical grinding, vibratory finishing, milling, sawing, bending, stamping, broaching, welding, soldering, thread rolling, and assembly) and a network of certified partners for thermal treatment and surface finishing. Economically viable batch sizes start from 1,000 units for CNC turning and 500 units for milling, scaling to several hundred thousand units per item per year for series production.

The company operates three production sites in Thuringia (Eisfeld, Apolda, and Schönbrunn) with 200+ employees, making it one of the largest precision turned parts manufacturers in South Thuringia. Its customer base is industrial and horizontal, spanning automotive, commercial vehicles, household appliances, mechanical engineering, medical technology, control/measurement/regulation technology, aerospace, shipbuilding, and new energy. Bernhard Gotzeina holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (since circa 2000), ISO 14001 environmental management (since December 2003), TÜV certification (valid until July 2026), and REACH compliance, supported by EFRE-funded investments in energy efficiency (LED conversion, photovoltaic infrastructure, in-house chip processing and recycling).

The business model is B2B custom contract manufacturing with quote-based pricing tied to material, complexity, batch size, and tolerance requirements. Revenue is generated through one-time purchase transactions for custom-manufactured parts rather than recurring subscriptions or licensing. Sales are conducted directly via the company website, phone, and email — there is no e-commerce or self-service channel. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with no disclosed marketing spend, no active social media presence, and reliance on direct customer relationships supplemented by an internal careers page and a news blog announcing equipment investments. The company is led by Dennis Gotzeina as authorized representative, with the Gotzeina family maintaining direct ownership and management control; there is no external institutional investment or parent company structure.

Core offering

Bernhard Gotzeina & Co. GmbH is a B2B contract manufacturer of high-precision CNC turned parts, milled parts, and assembled components for industrial customers. Production spans workpiece diameters from Ø0.1mm miniature parts up to Ø250mm large series, with batch sizes from 1,000 to several hundred thousand units per year across all common machinable materials including steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, copper, and plastics.

Product overview

Bernhard Gotzeina & Co. GmbH is a medium-sized, family-owned precision turned parts manufacturer operating in central Germany (Thuringia) for over 30 years. The company's product portfolio centers on three core offerings: CNC-Drehteile/Frästeile/Mehrspindeldrehteile (CNC turned, milled, and multi-spindle parts up to Ø250mm), Langdrehteile/Baugruppen (long-turned parts from Ø1-32mm up to 1,000mm length with assembly capabilities), and Kleinstdrehteile/Kunststoffdrehteile (micro-turned parts from Ø0.1mm minimum diameter and plastic machining). These core products are complemented by secondary processing operations (grinding, welding, assembly) and partnered services for heat treatment and surface finishing, providing customers with complete one-stop solutions from raw material to finished, ready-to-install components.
