Schmiedeberger Gießerei

What Schmiedeberger Gießerei does

Schmiedeberger Gießerei GmbH is a German iron and steel foundry headquartered in Dippoldiswalde, Saxony, with an operating history the company dates to 1412, making it one of Germany's oldest industrial enterprises. The company produces custom and series metal castings for industrial customers, offering an end-to-end service chain that spans consulting and model-making, casting production, quality assurance, and post-casting CNC machining through its wholly owned subsidiary SG CNC Bearbeitungs GmbH. It serves more than 350 customers worldwide across industrial manufacturing, railway/transportation, maritime, and pressure-equipment end-markets, with a particularly heavy certification footprint in Deutsche Bahn rail qualifications and major maritime classification societies (DNV, Lloyd's, Korean Register, Bureau Veritas).

The core technology is a traditional metal casting foundry augmented by automated post-processing: as of April 2025, the finishing department operates Reichmann Maus 600 and 900 automated grinding and deburring machines equipped with the Maus CAAT self-optimization software, reducing manual finishing time and improving precision. The business model is B2B contract manufacturing, with revenue generated through hardware sales of castings, CNC machining services, and consulting/model-build professional services, all priced on a quote basis to enterprise customers. Schmiedeberger is one of 13 operating companies within the DiHAG Integrated Foundry Group, a privately held German foundry conglomerate that provides group-level scale and diversification while the subsidiary operates independently in its regional market segment. The company holds DIN ISO 9001, 14001, and 50001 certifications, an extensive set of rail, maritime, and pressure-equipment qualifications, and a CrefoZert creditworthiness certificate, and is led by three managing directors: Holger Kappelt, Dr. Falko Uyma, and Viktor Babushchak.
