What MicroStep Europa does

MicroStep Europa GmbH is a privately held German manufacturer of CNC cutting and automation systems, headquartered in Bad Wörishofen, Bavaria, and founded approximately 30 years ago. The company supplies industrial customers across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) with machinery and integrated production cells spanning all four major cutting technologies — fiber laser, plasma, oxy-fuel, and waterjet — in 2D and 3D configurations, plus a CNC press brake line. Its product portfolio is organized into laser systems (SMART Cube X, SmartLINE X, MasterLINE X, SMART Giant X, TubeLINE, MSF Compact/Cut/Pro/Max), plasma systems (MasterCut Compact, MasterCut, MG, DRM, CombiCut, DS, CPCut & PipeCut, ProfileCut), waterjet systems (WaterCut, AquaCut), press brakes (SMART, eB ULTRA, EuroMaster, GeniusPlus), and automation modules (MSLoad, MSTower, MSSort, MSLoop, MSFeed).

The firm operates with 51–100 employees, including more than 30 dedicated service technicians, and runs two physical Competence Centers (Bad Wörishofen South, Dorsten North) that function as live demonstration facilities. Its technology strategy combines proprietary in-house CNC control software with a co-development partnership with ACCURL for fiber laser cutting platforms and press brakes. Revenue is generated through direct, quote-based enterprise sales of configured hardware systems, complemented by installation and project services, training, ongoing technical support (with remote diagnostics resolving 80% of cases), and spare parts. Customer industries include shipbuilding, steel construction, sanitary equipment, heating systems, ropeway manufacturing, and toll-cutting job shops, with named logos such as Doppelmayr, Villeroy & Boch, Bosch Industriekessel, German Naval Yards Kiel, Sata Shipbuilding, and Peters Werft. The company is privately held with no external investors, no disclosed funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no publicly stated revenue.
