Hohmann

What Hohmann does

Hohmann GmbH is a German precision sheet-metal processing company founded in 1983 in Lauffen am Neckar and now headquartered in Weinsberg, Baden-Württemberg. The company operates as a B2B contract manufacturer (Lohnfertiger), offering laser cutting, punching, bending, welding, surface treatment, additional machining, and assembly of fine-to-coarse sheet metal through a 1,100 m² production facility. It serves roughly 12 industrial verticals, including construction, automotive, medical technology, food technology, mechanical and plant engineering, and metal construction, with no named end-customer logos disclosed in the available data.

Since 2012 the company has been owned and led by Managing Director Thomas Hecker. Beyond pure contract manufacturing, Hohmann designs and produces its own "Sheet Worker" multifunctional machine line, introduced in 2018 and showcased at EuroBlech 2018, generating a secondary equipment-sales revenue stream targeted at downstream machine builders. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (initially 2015, recertified 2025) and in 2025 registered a new consumer-facing brand, "feuergut," suggesting a tentative diversification move beyond the B2B core. Revenue, headcount trends, and customer-level economics are not disclosed; the company is privately held with 11-50 employees and operates regionally within Baden-Württemberg.
