Techma Edm Technology

What Techma Edm Technology does

Techma CNC-Maschinen Technik GmbH, doing business as Techma Erodiertechnik, is a privately held German GmbH founded in Nürtingen in 1995 by Rolf Krieg, operating today under second-generation family management with founders' sons Falco and Lars Krieg as co-managing directors. The company specializes in the purchase, professional refurbishment, and resale of used Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) machines — specifically wire EDM (Drahterodiermaschinen) and die-sinking EDM (Senkerodiermaschinen) — sourced from AGIE, Charmilles, and GF Machining Solutions. Since 1996 it has operated as an authorized dealer under a long-standing cooperation with AGIE in Schorndorf and with GF Machining Solutions, positioning itself as a leading European provider of refurbished EDM equipment with a unique factory warranty on used machines.

Its core products are fully overhauled wire and die-sinking machines from the three OEM brands, restored in-house at its 3,000+ sqm Nürtingen facility and Frickenhausen workshop through a documented process covering dismantling, inspection, wear-part replacement, hydraulic and pneumatic overhaul, wire-guide alignment, axis testing, and spindle backlash measurement. Recurring and adjacent revenue comes from spare parts (computers, hard drives, function-tested circuit boards, hand boxes, cooling units, clamping systems), relocation services (over 4,000 successful transports), PEPS CAD/CAM programming software from partner Camtek, Hitema cooling units, operator training programs, and machine relocation.

The business model is primarily B2B transaction-based: one-time sales of refurbished machines, typically priced in the €28-65k range based on disclosed financing examples, with supplementary rental (12-month minimum), interest-free installment, and 24-48 month leasing options that broaden accessibility for European SMEs. Customers are horizontal — manufacturing companies, tool and mold makers, and precision parts producers — served by a direct sales and showroom team of over 20 specialists with worldwide delivery and installation. Geographic reach is anchored in Germany and broader Europe with worldwide logistics, and the company markets through its multilingual website (German, English, French) plus Facebook and YouTube channels. The company is entirely family-owned with no external investors, subsidiaries, or M&A activity disclosed.
