WURZ Group

What WURZ Group does

WÜRZ Group is a German family-owned Mittelstand precision manufacturing company headquartered in Driedorf-Mademühlen, Germany, founded in 1978 and operating through three subsidiaries: WÜRZ Fertigungstechnik GmbH (precision components), KÄMPFER WÜRZ Umformtechnik GmbH (forming technology), and WÜRZ Aluminiumtechnik GmbH (aluminum technology). The group employs approximately 160 people and operates more than 100 CNC machines, producing precision turned, milled, ground, and EDM-erosion components alongside forming tools including flat rolls, section rolls, profile drawing tools, drawing mandrels, and extrusion dies, with technical capabilities spanning 5-axis CNC machining, HSC milling, hard turning, and surface finishing to Ra 0.02 µm.

The company sells primarily B2B through field sales into ten verticals — automotive, commercial vehicles, hydraulics, mechanical engineering, aviation, hot runner technology, semi-finished metal products, food, medical technology, and precious metals — and operates a just-in-time delivery model with ISO 9001 (since 2001), ISO 14001 (since 2011), and AEO-C certifications. Revenue mechanics are anchored in qualified, tool-specific supplier relationships with automotive OEMs (since 2000) and adjacent industrial customers; over 80% of the corporate vehicle fleet has been converted to electric and hybrid, and operations are supported by a 2.3 MW wind plus photovoltaic installation.

Growth has been moderate and organic since founding, with the most significant portfolio moves being the addition of the Aluminiumtechnik subsidiary in 2012, the divestiture of the Bühler-Würz joint venture to Redex in 2014, and incremental capability additions such as HSC milling and hard turning in 2015. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability, no public revenue, and no recent funding events; expansion signals are visible in the broader vertical mix (medical, precious metals, food) and continued trade-show participation including Wire Düsseldorf 2026.
