What Roland Erdrich does

Roland Erdrich GmbH is a family-owned German CNC precision machining company founded in 1974 and headquartered in Oppenau, in the Renchtal valley of Baden-Württemberg. The company manufactures CNC-turned parts (diameter Ø 25–400 mm), CNC-milled parts (up to 500 × 500 × 350 mm), and complete assemblies, operating from a 7,500 m² production facility with 56 CNC machines — comprising 24 CNC lathes, 25 machining centers, and 7 turning-milling centers — supported by 5 coordinate measurement machines and more than 5,000 hand measurement tools. The company produces approximately 1,000,000 parts per year, primarily in medium batch sizes, with stated measurement precision of ±2 µm, and serves industrial customers across Medical Technology, Laser Technology, Drive Technology, Mechanical/Plant Engineering, and Electrical Engineering. Named enterprise customers include Harmonic Drive, Trumpf Lasertechnik, Arburg, and Hitachi Energy.

The business operates a B2B contract manufacturing model: customers submit technical drawings and 3D models via a quick-inquiry system, and the company issues quotes based on specifications and order volume — no public pricing is disclosed. Roland Erdrich holds ISO 9001 quality certification, Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) status for customs facilitation, re-marking authorization, and an energy efficiency certificate, supporting export operations and serving regulated industrial customers. The in-house production stack includes automated high-bay storage (installed 2019), robot-fed CNC systems, and digital production planning positioned as Industry 4.0-compliant. Beyond machining, the company offers complementary services: laser marking, deburring, glass bead blasting, ultrasonic cleaning, hardening, grinding, and surface treatment, plus full assembly including procurement of DIN-standard parts.

Roland Erdrich is a private German GmbH with no external investors, parent company, or known subsidiaries. Leadership officially transitioned to the second generation in 2014, with Steve Erdrich assuming the CEO role in 2020 alongside co-CEO Ken Erdrich and HR director Nelly Erdrich. The current organization employs approximately 150 people, supported by an internal apprenticeship program under a dedicated trainer. As of 2025, the company completed a new 2,200 m² three-floor administration building featuring geothermal and photovoltaic systems, signaling continued organizational investment. Current revenue is not publicly disclosed; the most recent disclosed figure is €8.5 million in 1999 with 72 employees.
