What Goma does

GOMA B.V. is a 64-year-old Dutch sheet metal manufacturing specialist headquartered in a 14,000 m² facility in Hengelo, Netherlands, serving OEM manufacturers across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. The company produces both half-finished parts and fully assembled products — enclosures, housings, panels, and complex fabrications — for enterprise customers including Bosch Thermotechniek, Remeha, Atlas Copco, Royal Pas Reform, INFICON, Animo, and Ordelman & Dijkman, spanning heating systems, compressors, leak detection, coffee machines, and poultry technology. Its operations run a fully integrated in-house production chain: punch/laser cutting, bending (9 robotic cells and 5 manual press brakes, 35–230 ton capacity), welding (TIG, MIG/MAG, spot, stud, CMT across 4 robotic cells and manual stations), powder coating, assembly, and logistics. Notable proprietary processes include ACF Corner Former (corner forming up to 5mm without welding), cosmetic spot welding on 0.6mm sheet, and a cobot laser welding cell developed with The Cobot Factory.

GOMA is investing heavily in automation and digitalization through a portfolio of proprietary platforms: GOMA-AI (LLM deployment for employees via ChatGPT/Copilot), UNS (Unified Namespace central data hub), TRAXIS (AGV-based powder coating logistics targeting ~15% output uplift), PROPOS (ERP-linked production planning), and Kickstart-AI (energy-aware scheduling). These initiatives, alongside ISO 9001 certification and Smart Connected Supplier Network (SCSN) integration with key customers and suppliers like MCB, reflect a deliberate strategy to convert a conventional job shop into a software-mediated smart factory.

The business operates a B2B direct sales model targeting enterprise OEMs, with custom RFQ-based pricing tied to specifications, volumes, and processing complexity. Go-to-market emphasizes co-engineering from early product development phases, just-in-time delivery via customer ERP integration, and kit-based packaging tailored to customer assembly lines. GOMA is privately held and family-founded (originating from "Gerrit Oortgiesen Maakt Alles"), with 96 employees (77 permanent, 13.5% female, average age 43.6), no external funding, and no disclosed revenue.

Broad incumbents

• Amada: Japanese-origin global supplier of sheet metal machinery (lasers, press brakes, punching, welding). Provides the underlying equipment used in job shops like GOMA; comparable as a broad incumbent defining the technology frontier that mid-sized fabricators must adopt to remain competitive.
• TRUMPF: German global market leader in machine tools (laser cutting, punching, bending) for sheet metal fabrication. Relevant as both a key technology supplier and a benchmark for Industry 4.0 / networked manufacturing — the same trajectory GOMA is pursuing via GOMA-AI and UNS.
• Bystronic: Swiss-listed global leader in sheet metal processing equipment (laser cutters, press brakes) and automation. Comparable not as a direct contract competitor but as the dominant machinery supplier whose technology GOMA and similar job shops deploy; Bystronic's increasingly automated equipment defines the competitive benchmark for capital intensity.

Direct peers

• König Metall: German mid-market contract sheet metal fabricator offering laser cutting, bending, welding, and surface finishing. Closely mirrors GOMA's full-stack service profile and customer base of industrial OEMs in the DACH region.
• Batenburg Industrial: Dutch industrial group offering contract manufacturing, automation, and sheet metal solutions to OEM customers. Directly comparable to GOMA as a Benelux-based system integrator/fabricator serving enterprise OEMs with multi-discipline production capabilities.
• Lassberg Metallwarenfabrik: German sheet metal fabricator producing enclosures, housings, and complex assemblies for industrial OEMs. Comparable to GOMA in mid-sized DACH footprint, full process chain (cutting through assembly), and B2B OEM focus.
• MGG Nederland: Dutch metal goods group offering sheet metal fabrication, surface treatment, and assembly for industrial customers. Comparable to GOMA in Benelux geography, OEM customer mix, and integrated metal-processing service offering.
• VDL Industrial Modules: Dutch contract manufacturer (part of VDL Group) producing complex modules and sheet metal assemblies for high-tech OEMs. Comparable in customer type (enterprise OEMs) and offering scope (metal fabrication, assembly), though significantly larger in scale.
• Welser Profile: Austrian family-owned specialist in custom roll-formed and laser-welded steel profiles, serving industrial OEMs across Europe. Comparable to GOMA in being a multi-decade family-run specialist with deep process know-how and OEM customer base.
• Remmel + Vorwerk Metallwaren: German sheet metal fabricator specializing in enclosures, panels, and welded assemblies for industrial OEMs. Directly comparable to GOMA in process chain (cutting, bending, welding, coating), customer profile, and DACH B2B sales motion.
