Langer Group

What Langer Group does

Langer Group, legally Langer GmbH & Co. KG, is a privately held, family-owned German plastics manufacturer founded in 1975 and headquartered in Illmensee, Baden-Württemberg. The company operates an integrated four-pillar service model spanning Kunststoff-Spritzguss (plastic injection molding for series production), Werkzeugbau (tool and mold construction from steel and aluminum, including prototype and multi-component tools), Cubing-Modellbau (cubing, design, functional, and data-control models for automotive development), and Prüfmittel (testing and measurement equipment, assembly fixtures, and end-of-line test stands built on DAkkS-calibrated in-house measurement machines). Precision tolerances are stated at tenths to thousandths of a millimeter, supported by CNC-controlled injection molding and vibration welding capabilities. The company is bound by an IG Metall collective bargaining agreement and is qualified under IATF 16949:2016, ISO 9001/14001/50001, DIN ISO 45001:2023-12, TISAX, and AEO.

The customer base is organized by industrial vertical rather than named logos. Automotive is the primary segment, with explicit applications in electric vehicles, hydrogen vehicles, motor components, air-duct components, and cubing/test equipment for vehicle development. Secondary segments include aerospace (precision components and testing fixtures), mechanical engineering (custom parts and tool construction), architecture, renewable energy (wind turbine components), and defense technology. The stated served geography is regional, concentrated in Baden-Württemberg, though an English-language web presence at langer-group.eu suggests some cross-border outreach.

Langer employs approximately 160 people, including 20 apprentices across five technical professions supervised by 5 qualified trainers, indicating a structured workforce-renewal pipeline atypical for sub-200-employee Mittelstand manufacturers. Revenue is not disclosed and the company is privately held with no external investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity in the source data. Pricing is project-specific (component complexity, tool requirements, production volumes) and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through one-off tool construction, series-production molding, professional-services model building, and testing-equipment contracts — making the business mix a hybrid of tooling project work and recurring series production.

Broad incumbents

• Plastic Omnium SA: Large French-listed Tier-1 supplier specializing in plastic exterior and fuel systems, with growing cleantech and lighting electronics. Operates in the same automotive plastics space as Langer but at far greater scale and global footprint.
• Georg Fischer AG (GF Automotive): Swiss diversified industrial group with automotive plastics, casting, and piping systems divisions. Comparable in serving automotive and industrial customers with precision manufactured components, though much broader in scope.

Direct peers

• Röchling Group: German family-owned plastics manufacturer with automotive, industrial, and medical processing capabilities. Most analogous large-scale German plastics peer, though it operates at significantly greater scale and vertical breadth than Langer.
• Simona AG: German plastics processor based in Kirn producing semi-finished and finished plastic parts through extrusion, injection molding, and fabrication. Comparable in plastics processing DNA and European industrial customer base.
• Mekra Lang GmbH & Co. KG: German plastics-intensive Tier-1 supplier specializing in mirror and exterior systems for commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Comparable as a precision plastics injection molder serving German automotive OEMs from a German manufacturing base.
• Woco Industriewerk GmbH: German automotive supplier of rubber, plastic, and fluid technology components. Overlaps with Langer on automotive plastic injection-molded components and similar German mid-sized family-owned industrial supplier profile.
• Ensinger GmbH: German engineered plastics manufacturer producing injection-molded semi-finished and finished parts for automotive, mechanical engineering, and aerospace. Closely comparable in vertical, geography, and customer mix, with broader materials depth.

Others

• Wittmann Group: Austrian/Bavarian manufacturer of injection molding machines, robots, and auxiliaries. Not a direct competitor to Langer as a contract molder, but operates squarely in the plastics processing ecosystem and shares German-speaking customer base.
