Maschinenbau Böhmer

What Maschinenbau Böhmer does

Maschinenbau Böhmer GmbH is a family-owned German Sondermaschinenbauer (special-purpose machinery builder) founded in 1983 by Christoph Böhmer and headquartered in Steinebach (Sieg), operating from a 5,800 sqm production facility with 90+ qualified employees. The company engineers, manufactures and commissions custom automation cells and complete plant solutions for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in the automotive industry, with the core offering being integrated foundry automation — combining spray technology, melt dosing, marking and inspection, cooling and conveyor technology, deburring and piston lubrication into individually designed cells rather than standardized modules. Adjacent product lines include robot welding systems for applications such as container and vessel fabrication, precision balancing machines for turbocharger rotor groups (capable of speeds up to 300,000 RPM with residual unbalance of only a few mgmm), 3D coordinate measurement technology (FaroArm Edge, climate-controlled class 3 measuring room), and a contract manufacturing (Lohnfertigung) division offering 5-axis CNC milling, turning, waterjet cutting, grinding and laser marking.

The business runs on an enterprise field-sales model with a three-step inquiry-to-quote process (request → consultation appointment → offer) and project-based pricing with no public price list. Revenue streams include one-time sales of custom machinery, spare and wear parts, preventive maintenance and service contracts, on-site and remote service via a network of seven partners across the USA, China, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Mexico and India, and recurring sensor calibration services. The company is part of a wider Böhmer Group that includes sister entities IQ Böhmer GmbH (industrial valves, Versa-Valve partner), Böhmer Automotive GmbH (turbocharger contract welding and prototyping) and Akkuratio GmbH (industrial 3D printing), all co-located at the Steinebach site. The company holds DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, TISAX (2025-2028) and WHG-Fachbetrieb certifications and operates entirely on certified renewable electricity.

Revenue model

1. Custom Special Machinery and Plant Solutions: Design, manufacture and installation of custom special machines and tools primarily for die-casting foundries and automotive turbocharger manufacturing. Solutions encompass spray technology, marking and control, melt dosing, cooling and conveyor technology, deburring, robot welding systems, and measurement technology. Revenue derived from engineering, fabrication, assembly and commissioning of bespoke equipment.
2. Contract Manufacturing (Lohnfertigung): CNC machining services including milling, turning, waterjet cutting, grinding and laser marking. High mix of different part geometries with flexible volumes from single parts to series production. CNC machining centers with at least 5 axes. Adds capacity for customer production peaks without binding their own resources.
3. Spare Parts and Wear Parts: Replacement and wear parts for company machines and systems. Broad range of parts constantly in stock from standard components to special manufacturing parts. Special parts manufactured in-house due to high manufacturing depth, reducing wait times.
4. Maintenance and Service: Preventive maintenance, servicing, process optimization, retrofits and conversions. Individual maintenance plans and custom service contracts. Worldwide customer support via phone, remote maintenance and on-site service.
5. Sensor Calibration Services: Regular calibration of acceleration sensors for balancing machines, performed at customer facility to minimize downtime. Database of current calibration data for all sensors with calibration certificates.

Broad incumbents

• Schuler Group: Major German manufacturer of press and automation technology serving automotive and industrial customers. Comparable broad special-machinery and automation expertise, though focused on metal forming rather than die-casting.
• KUKA AG: Global robotics and automation major; supplies robotic welding cells and automation that overlap with Maschinenbau Böhmer's robot welding systems. Maschinenbau Böhmer is actually a KUKA robot integrator, making KUKA both a supplier and a broader incumbent peer.
• SMS group: German family-owned plant and machinery engineering group serving metals processing. Comparable as a German Mittelstand special-machinery specialist with global reach and similar customer verticals in industrial manufacturing.
• ABB Robotics: One of the world's largest industrial robot suppliers. Comparable to Maschinenbau Böhmer in that ABB robots are integrated into Böhmer's welding and spray systems, while ABB's own solutions compete at the broader industrial automation level.
