What HG GRIMME SysTech does

HG GRIMME SysTech GmbH is a family-owned German manufacturer of high-precision 5-axis CNC machining centers, founded in 1987 and headquartered in Wiedergeltingen, Germany. The company designs, manufactures, and assembles all machines in-house across gantry, portal, and rotary table configurations, targeting processing of plastics, composite materials (CFK/GFK), modelling materials, and aluminium. Its product portfolio spans CNC machining centers, CNC milling machines, the eidos sub-brand of thermoforming machines, custom Sondermaschinenbau, fixture construction (Vorrichtungsbau), spindle repair services, and since approximately 2021, turnkey automation solutions integrating Fanuc and ABB robots with proprietary gripper and clamping systems.

The company operates a direct enterprise field sales motion with regional sales managers covering Germany, Europe, and international markets, complemented by trade show presence at ILA Berlin, Fakuma, and an annual Hausmesse, plus an online storefront for stock and used machines. Its Siemens Sinumerik-controlled machines are tightly integrated with Fanuc robotics for plug-and-play automation cells, and a certified spindle repair network covers six leading manufacturers. The customer base spans automotive, aerospace, medical technology, defense, marine, sanitary, and industrial model-making verticals, with named reference customers including Dr. Karl Gert Fischer GmbH. Pricing is custom quote-based per machine specification, with government subsidies of up to 15% available in some cases, and the company holds ISO 9001 certification.

The business generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales of high-ticket CNC systems, supplemented by professional services revenue from spindle repair, technical service, training, fixture construction, and machine relocation. The company is privately held by the Grimme family with Philipp Grimme as Managing Director and Bernd Settele as COO, and shows no signs of external institutional capital or planned exit activity.
