Vorrichtungsbau Giggel

What Vorrichtungsbau Giggel does

Vorrichtungsbau Giggel GmbH is a privately held German precision manufacturer founded in 1998 by Dipl.-Ing. Bernd Giggel and headquartered in Bösdorf near Wolfsburg, Saxony-Anhalt. The company operates as a one-stop-shop contract manufacturer spanning CNC machining (3-axis and 5-axis simultaneous milling on Röders machines, CNC turning), laser technology (cutting and both tactile and optical welding in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals), metal forming (CNC pipe bending 4-60mm, sheet metal forming up to 85 tons, deep drawing up to 400 tons), and joining technologies (welding, brazing, adhesive bonding, assembly). Quality assurance is supported by GOM ATOS III optical scanning (5-5000mm range), MITUTOYO coordinate measurement machines, forming simulation, and weld testing, with the workflow managed through the TEBIS CAD/CAM system for automotive-industry compatibility.

The firm's commercial focus is on B2B direct sales to enterprise customers, primarily international automotive manufacturers, with adjacent service to medical technology, mechanical engineering, and railway technology operators. Revenue is generated project-by-project from prototype through small series production, with a stated €250 minimum order value for series products and 14-day net payment terms on net prices. Certifications include ISO 9001:2015 (Dekra), DIN EN 1090-2 steel welding and DIN EN 1090-3 aluminum welding (valid through January 2027), and TISAX information security assessment, the last of which is effectively required by automotive OEMs for handling sensitive engineering data.

Vorrichtungsbau Giggel is founder- and family-owned (CEO Bernd Giggel; Patrick Giggel leads machining) with 80+ qualified employees and no external institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or disclosed funding rounds. The company is currently hiring and recently secured BMBF and EU co-financing for innovation projects, while broadening into adjacent industrial verticals such as railway media-carrying lines.
