Revenue model

1. Precision Machining Services: Contract manufacturing of custom CNC machined parts (turning and milling) in difficult-to-machine materials. Revenue is generated through project-based orders for individual parts, small to medium batch sizes, and complete assemblies. Pricing is quote-based, determined by material, complexity, tolerances, and finishing requirements.
2. Finishing Services: Secondary finishing services including polishing, electro-polishing, deburring, labelling, and assembly. These are offered as value-added services for both in-house produced parts and potentially external parts.
3. Logistics and Value-Added Services: Full-service logistics including storage, warehousing in automated high-bay storage system, just-in-time delivery, Kanban integration, standard/express shipping, and customs clearing for international deliveries.

Core offering

Kohler Precision Engineering is a German contract manufacturer that produces high-precision turned and milled components, primarily from difficult-to-machine materials such as stainless steel, titanium, nickel-based alloys, and high-strength aluminum. The company offers end-to-end manufacturing services including CNC turning, CNC milling, additive manufacturing / 3D metal printing, polishing, electro-polishing, deburring and finishing, assembly, labelling, and logistics and customs services, delivering to industries such as aerospace, pharmaceutical and sterile technology, process measurement and sensor technology, laboratory and analytical technology, fluid technology, and mechanical and construction engineering.

Product overview

Kohler Precision Engineering is a medium-sized precision machining manufacturer offering comprehensive manufacturing services centered on CNC turning and milling of complex parts from difficult-to-machine materials. The company's core product portfolio includes CNC Turning (Drehen) for parts 10-500mm diameter, CNC Milling (Fräsen) with 5-axis capability up to 700x700x450mm, and Sawing (Sägen). Complementing machining are finishing services: Polishing and E-Polishing (Elektropolieren) for high surface quality and corrosion resistance, Deburring (Entgraten) with flow grinding and fine deburring, Labelling (Beschriften) via laser and needle marking, and Assemblies (Baugruppen) for ready-to-install components. Since 2017, the company expanded into Additive Manufacturing/3D Metal Printing with post-processing capabilities for additively manufactured parts. Quality assurance services include Quality Planning (Qualitätsplanung), Restamping (Umstempeln) for material traceability, and comprehensive logistics including customs clearing. The company specializes in stainless steel, titanium, nickel-based alloys, and high-strength aluminum, serving aerospace, pharmaceutical, fluid technology, process measurement, and mechanical engineering industries.
