What Eldisy does

Eldisy GmbH is a German manufacturer of elastomer and plastic sealing systems, headquartered in Gardelegen and operating as a subsidiary of the family-owned Vorwerk & Sohn Gruppe. Founded in 2000, the company produces EPDM and TPE extruded sealing profiles, single- and multi-component injection moulded parts, painted/customised sealing assemblies, and related composite profiles, primarily for automotive OEMs and Tier 1 systems suppliers covering passenger cars, utility vehicles, and trucks. A secondary industrial line supplies sealing systems for windows, garage doors, electrical appliances, and household equipment.

The company's competitive position rests on an integrated single-source process chain — 170-metre extrusion lines, vertical LWB Steinl injection moulding machines (including 2K capability), automated paint finishing, and inline quality testing — replicated across six production sites in Germany (Gardelegen and Wimsheim), Poland, Slovakia, Serbia, and Mexico. All sites carry IATF 16949 automotive quality certification, supported by ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 50001 management systems. Eldisy is led by three Managing Directors (Alexander Oschkinat, Elmar Stoffel, Hasso Flaus) and operates an in-house Southern German development centre with CAD-supported material and design engineering.

Eldisy generates revenue through direct B2B enterprise sales to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers under long-term series-production supply contracts, with volumes tied to OEM build rates and program lifetimes. Pricing is handled through direct quotation on a custom-manufactured basis rather than published list pricing. Distribution is direct from manufacturing locations to customers, with multi-region proximity manufacturing enabling just-in-time delivery to European OEM clusters and the North American market. The company has not disclosed equity or debt funding; the only recorded capital inflow is a €230,000 European Regional Development Fund grant in 2018 for energy optimisation.
