What Daub CNC Technik does

Daub CNC Technik GmbH und Co. KG is a German Mittelstand precision manufacturer founded in 1997 by Detlev Daub, headquartered in Wenden, Germany. The company specializes in CNC machining of electronic enclosures, producing aluminum and plastic housings, cooling solutions, front panels, and handles for industrial electronics, medical technology, communication equipment, and measurement/testing customers. Its core technology stack covers CNC milling, sawing, drilling, screen/digital printing, laser engraving, and surface finishing — including EMC-compliant passivated conductive inner surfaces achieving IP68 protection for aluminum enclosures and IP67 for plastic. The company also serves as the Key Distributor of Japanese premium enclosure maker Takachi Electronics Enclosures for DACH and North-West Europe, with a mutual strategic partnership for product refinement.

The business operates a hybrid manufacturer-distributor model. It sells standard catalog enclosures from warehouse inventory (supporting quick delivery) and offers custom processing services for both small and large quantities, including CNC modifications per customer drawings. Revenue streams split between hardware sales (standard enclosures, cooling, front panels, handles) and value-added services (custom machining, printing, engraving). A new wholly-owned subsidiary, Daub Oberflächentechnik, is being built in Olpe Hüppcherhammer to bring anodizing and passivation in-house, both for captive use and as third-party job work — extending the company into toll-processing surface treatment.

Go-to-market is sales-led and B2B, with direct contact via phone, email, contact form, and online catalog through the 19zoll.com platform. The company invests in a digital marketing footprint (HubSpot CRM, LinkedIn, Xing, embedded world trade show presence) and serves a broad vertical mix. Ownership is concentrated with founder Detlev Daub as Managing Director, alongside co-Managing Director Volker Kaluza (Vertriebsleitung), with no external institutional investment disclosed. The company describes itself as a dynamically growing enterprise recognized as a benchmark for individualized housing solutions in its region.

Broad incumbents

• Rittal (Friedhelm Loh Group): Germany-based global leader in industrial enclosures, climate control, and power distribution. Directly comparable as an enclosure manufacturer serving the same industrial electronics and automation customers, though at substantially greater scale and with a much broader product portfolio.
• nVent Electric (Hoffman brand): Global manufacturer of electrical enclosures and connection/protection solutions under the Hoffman brand. Comparable product category (industrial enclosures) and customer base (OEMs and system integrators), but operates at global scale across many more geographies.
• Schneider Electric: Global industrial automation and electrical equipment major offering enclosures as part of broader industrial solutions. Comparable at the enclosure category level though Schneider addresses enclosures as part of a much wider systems portfolio rather than as a specialty.
• Phoenix Contact: Major German industrial electronics supplier offering enclosure and housing solutions alongside connectors, controllers, and power supplies. Comparable in serving industrial electronics OEMs with enclosure needs, though enclosures are only one segment within a much broader portfolio.
