Eichler company

What Eichler company does

Eichler Company a.s. is a privately held Czech joint-stock company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Žďár nad Sázavou. The company supplies standardized and custom parts for stamping tools, forming tools, and molds — gas springs, normalized components, guide elements, ejectors, clamping elements, hydraulic cylinders, threading units, feeders/unwinders, precision plates and foils — and manufactures custom parts per customer drawing documentation with tolerances in thousandths of a millimeter. It holds ISO 9001 certification continuously since 2005, operates an in-house 2D/3D measurement center, and in 2021 installed five automated vertical tower storage systems to support express manufacturing and rapid order fulfillment.

The business operates a hybrid model combining authorized distribution of products from 13 European component manufacturers (Special Springs, OMCR, E.N.S. INTERNATIONAL, A.E.M., NEWSTARK, INTERCOM, Moeller Precision Tool, HEB, Ferrofacta, Fiege, Herrblitz, Kukamet, Heatlock) with proprietary custom parts manufacturing. Its go-to-market is sales-led B2B targeting automotive OEMs and tool/mold manufacturers, with a documented customer set including Volkswagen Group, Daimler, FCA, Ford, Geely, GM, Hyundai, Nissan, PSA, Renault, and TATA, supplemented by an e-shop for catalog browsing and inquiry submission. Revenue streams are predominantly one-time hardware sales of components (both third-party distributed and self-manufactured), with the 2024 launch of OMCR industrial briquetting equipment adding a higher-ASP industrial-machinery revenue line.

Recognized with a Gold Medal at the MSV 2022 Brno international engineering fair and self-described as the Czech market leader in production, service, and delivery of standardized parts, the company competes primarily on precision, breadth of supplier portfolio, fast delivery, and ability to handle both standardized components and customer-specified custom work from a single source.

Direct peers

• FIBRO (LÄPPLE Group): FIBRO is a German manufacturer of normalized parts for stamping and forming tools, including guide pillars, bushings, gas springs and die springs. It is the closest direct competitor to Eichler in precision stamping-tool components used by automotive OEMs and tier suppliers.
• DME (DME Company): DME is a major global supplier of standard mold and die components (ejection, cooling, hot runner, gas assist) serving injection mold and stamping tool builders. Comparable in scope and customer set to Eichler's normalized parts and custom tooling components business.
• Hasco Hasenclever: Hasco is a leading German supplier of standardized components for injection molds, die-casting tools and stamping tools. Its catalog-driven model for normalized tool parts directly mirrors Eichler's distribution-plus-custom-manufacturing value proposition.
• Meusburger: Meusburger is an Austrian manufacturer of standard mold frames, standard components and hot runner systems for injection molds and die-casting tools. Highly comparable to Eichler's normalized parts and mold frame offerings for tooling customers.
• Strack Normalien: Strack is a German manufacturer of normalized parts (guide elements, ejector pins, date stamps, slide retainers) for stamping, forming and injection tools. Direct competitor to Eichler in the European normalized-tool-parts segment.

Others

• Special Springs s.r.l. Special Springs is an Italian manufacturer of gas springs for stamping and forming tools and is one of Eichler's principal distribution principals. Connected via supply partnership and joint product launches (NCS Line, Extreme Line).
• HEB HYDRAULIK-ELEMENTEBAU GmbH: HEB is a German manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders (block, round, threaded-mount and locking types) for stamping and forming tools, and Eichler's hydraulic-cylinder line principal. Connected via exclusive distribution arrangement.
• OMCR s.r.l. OMCR is an Italian manufacturer of normalized parts, sliding elements, cam units and briquetting equipment, and a key distribution principal for Eichler. Connected via supply partnership and 2024 OMCR briquetting equipment launch.

Broad incumbents

• Misumi: Misumi operates a massive global catalog of factory automation, mechanical and tooling components including stamp and mold parts. As a broad incumbent with deep pockets and digital distribution, it represents both a competing supplier and a channel-disruption risk for Eichler's catalog distribution model.
• Bossard Group: Bossard is a Swiss-based global supplier of fastening and assembly technology solutions serving automotive and industrial OEMs. Comparable as a technical industrial distributor with deep OEM relationships and a hybrid distribution/services model.
