Eckert Cutting

What Eckert Cutting does

Eckert Cutting (legal entity: Eckert AS Sp. z o.o.) is a manufacturer of CNC cutting machines headquartered in Rennerod, Germany, with primary operations in Germany and Poland. The company offers four thermal and mechanical cutting technologies under a single portfolio — laser, plasma, waterjet (500–6,000 bar), and autogen/oxy-fuel (up to 300mm material thickness) — alongside combination machines such as the Titan DrillCut, which integrates plasma/oxy-fuel cutting with drilling and threading in a single automated process. The product catalog spans ~15 branded machine series (Diamond laser family, Opal waterjet, Onyx, Sapphire, Chrome, Jantar, Rubin, Topaz, Obsidian, Zircon Extreme), supported by the ConnECKt 4.0 IoT platform for remote machine monitoring and an accessories line (extraction systems, cutting tables). Modular machine construction allows customer-specific configuration and post-purchase upgrades.

Eckert serves industrial enterprise customers in steel construction, machine building, shipbuilding, aerospace, and automotive. Publicly referenced customers include Boeing, voestalpine, KUKA, Komatsu, Shell, Vard (Fincantieri), Osram, Končar, Zamet, Rywal, and IMO Sveiseindustri AS. The business operates a direct B2B sales motion: enterprise sales via website contact forms, phone, and email; on-site or showroom demonstrations; trade show participation (STOM, EuroBLECH, Stone+tec, BIAM WELDING); and after-sales services including modernization, technical support, spare parts, and operator training on CNC operation and CAD/CAM software.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital-equipment sales of customized CNC cutting machines, supplemented by recurring after-sales support and training services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based on configuration. ConnECKt 4.0 has received multiple innovation awards (PWG 2020, Niederschlesischer Greif 2019, Forbes 2019, NOT 2019, ITM Gold Medal 2019), and the Titan DrillCut platform has been the company's most prominent recent launch, with a first Nordic installation completed in Norway in January 2026 and a strategic plasma-device partnership with GYS awarded in 2025.
