What METAV Schweighausen does

METAV Schweighausen GmbH is a privately held German precision contract manufacturer headquartered in Miehlen, Rhineland-Palatinate. Founded around 2002 (with firmographic data also referencing 1998), the company specializes in CNC milling and turning of metal components for small and medium enterprises, serving customers in medical technology, electronics, and laser technology across Germany. The firm operates with 11–50 employees from a single site that houses CNC machine tools and in-house surface treatment equipment.

The company's core offering is vertically integrated precision manufacturing: customers can procure milled and turned components (including 5-axis work, HSC machining of hardened mold inserts, and 3D/5-axis copper and graphite electrodes), optionally paired with in-house CAD/CAM programming using SolidCAM with iMachining, and finished with three proprietary surface treatment capabilities — anodizing (up to 300x200x180mm), chemically neutral glass bead blasting, and trovalisieren (tumbling/deburring). A Mikron HPM 450U 5-axis milling machine with pallet handling, acquired in June 2017, supports economic series production alongside prototyping and sample development.

The business operates a sales-led B2B model with project-specific quotation-based pricing, no publicly disclosed rates, and no app, API, or digital product layer. Go-to-market is direct engagement via website inquiries and industry reputation, reinforced by TÜV Rheinland certification to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015. As of the most recent materials, the company is rebranding to 'Zechtec' (new contact email [email protected]) while continuing its existing service portfolio.

Revenue model

1. CNC Manufacturing Services: Revenue generation through manufacturing of precision CNC-milled and turned components and assemblies for small and medium enterprises. Services span from prototyping and sample building through series production, including downstream surface treatments such as anodizing, glass bead blasting, and tumbling. The company also offers construction support when needed, positioning itself as a complete one-stop solution for metal component manufacturing.
2. Surface Treatment Services: Revenue from in-house surface treatment processes including anodizing (eloxieren), glass bead blasting, and trovalisieren. These services are offered both as standalone treatments and as part of integrated manufacturing packages, providing additional recurring service opportunities with existing customers.

Broad incumbents

• TRUMPF SE + Co. KG: Much larger German industrial group dominating laser cutting/marking and machine tools. Overlaps with METAV on precision metal processing for industrial buyers but operates at vastly larger scale with a broader product portfolio.
• Starrag Group: Swiss-German maker of high-precision machine tools for aerospace, energy, and medical customers. Operates precision-component manufacturing services adjacent to METAV's offerings but on a much larger and more international scale.
• Schuler Group GmbH: German press-manufacturing and metal-forming systems incumbent. Touches the same precision metalworking space as METAV with installed base in automotive and industrial customers, though focused on forming/press solutions.
• GROB-WERKE GmbH & Co. KG: German manufacturer of universal machining systems and assembly lines, with contract-manufacturing operations across medical, aerospace and automotive. Comparable CNC precision capability to METAV but much broader portfolio.
• GF Machining Solutions: Swiss-headquartered precision machining group with strong German and Swiss operations (including its Mikron Technology center, separate from GF). Overlaps on five-axis precision milling/EDM with METAV's process set, though at significantly greater scale and breadth.

Direct peers

• Heller GmbH: German CNC turn-mill and turnkey manufacturing solutions provider. Operates five-axis machining and series production for industrial customers, mirroring METAV's integrated precision-machining service-bureau model, but at materially larger scale.
• INDEX-Werke GmbH & Co. KG: German CNC turning-machine builder and TurnkEy contract-manufacturing provider. Serves precision parts demand in medical, automotive, and industrial sectors with automated production cells, comparable to METAV's series-production positioning.
• DATRON AG: German mid-cap manufacturer of CNC milling machines and provider of contract machining services for medical, electronics, and dental industries. Small/mid-sized like METAV with a similar Mittelstand customer focus.
• Hermle AG: German precision milling-machine manufacturer also offering contract machining via Hermle-Leibherr Systems. Competes in the same five-axis precision-machining niche as METAV and supplies similar SME industrial customers.
• EMAG Holding GmbH: German turn-mill machine tool builder with a significant EMAG Precision Manufacturing contract-manufacturing arm. Uses CNC turning/milling for serial precision components in medical and industrial sectors, directly comparable to METAV's process and customer verticals.
