Thierbach

What Thierbach does

Thierbach GmbH was a privately-held German specialty manufacturer of custom precision components, organized as a Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH). The company produced parts to individual customer drawings and specifications across nine primary manufacturing categories: Sonderschrauben (special screws), Drehteile (precision turned parts), CNC-Frästeile (3- to 5-axis milled parts), Sinterteile (sintered parts), Stanz- und Biegeteile (stamped and bent parts), Tiefziehteile (deep-drawn parts), Warmumformteile (warm-formed parts), Laserteile (laser-cut parts), and Gussteile (cast parts). The portfolio extended to standard DIN fasteners, titanium screws, aluminum screws, headless screws, lubricating and assembly pastes, and testing equipment, with materials ranging across steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and specialty alloys.

Core manufacturing capabilities were anchored in three primary process pillars — machining (Zerspanen), warm forming (Warmumformung), and thread production (Gewindeherstellung) — supported by additional forming, sintering, stamping, deep-drawing, laser-cutting, and casting operations. The company maintained a regulatory and quality certification stack targeting demanding industrial applications, including ISO 9001 quality management, TÜV approval per AD 2000-W0 for pressure-equipment manufacturing, PED 2014/68/EU pressure equipment directive compliance, VdTÜV 1253/4, DNV marine certification, EN 10204 test certificates (2.1/2.2/3.1/3.2), and RoHS/REACH material-compliance attestation. Customers were served through dedicated contacts (Tanja Woletz, Frank Schacht) handling drawings, specifications, and project-level inquiries.

Thierbach GmbH has ceased independent operations. All customer relationships, drawings, and service responsibilities have been assumed by Sonderschrauben Güldner GmbH & Co. KG, a specialty fastener and precision-parts manufacturer headquartered in Niederstetten, Germany, which has published a dedicated transition page on gueldner.com welcoming former Thierbach customers and offering continuity of supply across the same product portfolio. No revenue, headcount, pricing, ownership, or funding data is disclosed for Thierbach GmbH in the available source material.

Core offering

Thierbach GmbH manufactured custom precision parts to customer drawings and specifications, including special screws (Sonderschrauben), precision turned parts (Drehteile), CNC-milled parts, sintered, stamped and bent, deep-drawn, warm-formed, laser-cut, and cast parts. The company supplied industries requiring documented quality under ISO 9001, TÜV, PED 2014/68/EU, VdTÜV 1253/4, and DNV certifications, serving customers from single parts to full production series across steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and specialty alloys. Following Thierbach's cessation of operations, Sonderschrauben Güldner GmbH & Co. KG has taken over all former Thierbach customer relationships and continues to deliver the same product portfolio with the same quality and service.

Product overview

Thierbach (now served by Sonderschrauben Güldner) is a precision parts manufacturer offering a comprehensive portfolio of custom-manufactured components.
