Stanzerei Walter Götz

What Stanzerei Walter Götz does

Werkzeugbau & Stanzerei Walter Götz GmbH is a family-owned German full-service contract manufacturer of custom sheet-metal parts and assemblies, headquartered in Balingen-Engstlatt on a single ~6,950 m² site. Founded in 1910 and reorganized as a GmbH in 1989 under the Burghard family, the firm has been continuously operated under family stewardship across three generations and is currently managed by Stefan Burghard alongside his son Adrian Burghard (Technical Managing Director since 2024). It is privately held with no external investors, no parent entity, and no subsidiaries, and operates under a certified DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 quality management system (continuously certified since 1996).

The company's technology stack centers on in-house tool construction (compound cutting, bending, and progressive dies up to 2,000 mm) combined with a complete metalworking process chain: fiber and CO2 laser cutting, stamping presses up to 3,150 kN with band widths up to 700 mm and thicknesses up to 4 mm, abrasive waterjet cutting, CNC bending up to 230 t with 4,000 mm bed length, nibbling, MIG/MAG/WIG and laser welding (including four robotic cells and spot-welding stations), and laser marking (Trumpf system added 2021). Quality assurance relies on a Zeiss 3D coordinate measuring machine (1,000/1,200/600 mm). Surface treatments (galvanizing, anodizing, electropolishing, powder coating, plating, hardening) and assembly/packaging are bundled into the offering, with downstream finishing delivered via long-standing partner firms. Sustainability initiatives — 100% green electricity since 2014, heat-recovery (84% heating-oil reduction), and a 98.95% waste-recycling partnership with Schuler Rohstoffe — are publicly highlighted.

Walter Götz operates a quote-based, B2B-direct manufacturing model with no channel partners, no e-commerce, and minimal digital marketing. Sales are driven by in-house technical customer advisors (Adrian Burghard, Jörg Wizemann, Michael Kanz) engaged in personal consultation. The customer base is composed of European industrial OEMs across automation (AUMA, Festo), industrial/automotive manufacturing (Bosch, Liebherr, Gebrüderfrei, Ideal), weighing and labeling (Bizerba), and standard components (Ganter, Främomat, Camloc). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time custom manufacturing contracts (prototype through large series), assembly/packaging value-added services, and in-house tool work, with no disclosed recurring or subscription revenue stream.

Others

• Bystronic: Swiss sheet metal processing equipment manufacturer (laser cutting, bending, automation). Equipment supplier to the same contract-fabricator customer base that Walter Götz serves.
• TRUMPF: Global market leader in laser cutting and machine tools. Walter Götz's fiber-laser systems (including the 10 kW unit added in 2020 and Trumpf marking system added in 2021) are TRUMPF-supplied, making it a key equipment partner rather than direct competitor.
• HACO: Belgian manufacturer of press brakes, shears, and laser cutting systems. Comparable technology supplier to the European sheet metal fabrication industry in which Walter Götz operates.
• Salvagnini: Italian maker of sheet metal flexible manufacturing systems (panel benders, laser cutting, FMS). Comparable technology category; supplier to the same Mittelstand fabrication segment.
• LVD Group: Belgian sheet metal working machinery manufacturer (laser cutting, press brakes, shears). Same equipment category as Walter Götz's installed base; primarily a supplier relationship.
• Amada: Japanese-origin global supplier of sheet metal machinery (laser, punching, bending). Comparable technology category to Walter Götz's installed base but supplies rather than competes.

Broad incumbents

• Mubea: Global automotive and industrial supplier of precision-formed metal components, including stamping and sheet products. Comparable to Walter Götz as a contract metal-parts manufacturer, though far larger and more automotive-focused.
• Hirschvogel: German-headquartered forging and stamping group supplying automotive and industrial customers. Directly comparable metal-forming and stamping activity, but at significantly greater scale and with stronger automotive exposure.
• Schuler Group: Press technology and metal-forming specialist. While primarily a press manufacturer, Schuler also operates forming-service activities comparable to Walter Götz's stamping and tool-making business.

Direct peers

• Leiber Group: German manufacturer of precision aluminium and steel components using stamping and CNC processes, serving industrial OEMs. Closely comparable custom metal-parts manufacturer with a similar Mittelstand profile.
