What QUIP does

QUIP GmbH is a privately held German industrial services company headquartered in Baesweiler, North Rhine-Westphalia, that has operated for approximately 30 years since its 1995 founding. The business operates two integrated divisions: Hightech Maschinenbau (high-tech mechanical engineering) covering machine construction, production and equipment manufacturing, building management, industrial and production engineering, maintenance and repair, and intralogistics; and Personaldienstleistungen (staffing services) covering temporary staffing (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung), direct placement, candidate marketing and recruiting. The company backs its engineering services with 11 owned production halls totaling 60,000 m² of configurable floor space at Baesweiler, allowing clients to scale production without investing in their own facilities, and supports both divisions through a nationwide footprint of 24 branch offices across Germany.

The company generates revenue primarily through professional services contracts — disclosed hourly bill rates range from approximately €14.96 to €21.00 depending on role specialization (warehouse, forklift, CNC grinding, street cleaning). QUIP's stated annual revenue is €60M with ~1,000 employees, and it processes roughly 30,000 job applicants annually, having completed 2,000+ logistics projects and 24,000 personnel deployments. Notable customers include BMW Group, SIG, Aixtron, Kermi, Smartvolt, Völkl, Krantz, Dobler and Bruells, alongside Mittelstand references in textiles, glass, automotive, confectionery, chemical/carbon fiber and hydrogen technology. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certifications, maintains active social/employer-branding channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Xing) plus a self-service job portal (jobs.quip.de), and operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries: e-quipment GmbH and Allcuramed Personal GmbH (healthcare staffing). Ownership is concentrated, consistent with typical German Mittelstand patterns; no external private equity or venture capital funding is disclosed.
