ABAG

What ABAG does

ABAG Anlagentechnik GmbH is a private German industrial equipment manufacturer headquartered in Schorndorf, Germany, specializing in custom industrial automation and cleaning technology systems. The company combines multiple cleaning technologies — spray (Spritzreinigung), high-pressure (Hochdruckreinigung), ultrasonic (Ultraschallreinigung), and robotic cleaning (RoboClean) — with automation modules including deburring (brush and high-pressure), quality assurance and inspection, robotics, conveying, palletizing and packaging, and Industry 4.0 integration. Its core differentiator is Sondermaschinenbau (custom special machine construction): each system is engineered to a customer's specific product and process requirements, integrating sequential operations (deburring, cleaning, assembly, inspection, labeling, packaging) into a single automated production line. The company holds ISO 9001 quality management certification and a German Water Resources Act (WHG) certificate, and serves an enterprise customer base spanning automotive (Mercedes-Benz, Daimler, Continental, Thyssen Krupp), household appliances (Miele), solar (Schott Solar), automation/pneumatics (Festo), defense (Rheinmetall), aerospace/industrial (Diehl), injection molding (Engel), and hard materials/tooling (Ceratizit, Plansee, MIBA).

The business model is B2B direct enterprise field sales, project-based and quote-driven with no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital equipment sales of custom machines, supplemented by standardized cleaning machines, contract manufacturing (Lohnfertigung) and contract cleaning (Lohnreinigung) services delivered through a partnership with Pfaff Maschinenbau (active since 2014), aftermarket service and retrofit work, and engineering consulting. Go-to-market is consultation-led: customers initiate contact via project inquiry forms, phone, or email, and ABAG's engineering team engages directly with technical stakeholders to define requirements. The company is internationally active, uses a multilingual website and a LinkedIn presence as primary marketing channels, and reports no intermediaries, resellers, or distributors. No revenue, headcount, funding, M&A, or leadership data is disclosed.

• Pfaff MaschinenbaucoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2014ABAG and Pfaff Maschinenbau have operated as a partnership team since 2014. Together they offer contract cleaning (Lohnreinigung) and high-pressure deburring (HD-Entgraten) services. This partnership enables ABAG to serve customers whose production volumes do not yet justify purchasing a dedicated cleaning system, by providing job-order cleaning services. Pfaff, operating since 1998, delivers high-quality manufacturing components for machining and assembly, while ABAG contributes its cleaning technology expertise. The collaboration represents a mutual, complementary relationship where both companies expand their service offerings to shared customers.
