Wagner Maschinen

What Wagner Maschinen does

Wagner Maschinen- und Apparatebau GmbH is a German mechanical engineering subcontractor headquartered in Görlitz, Saxony, founded in 1990 through a management buyout of the ratio middle section of the former Beleuchtungskombinat by Klaus-Dieter Wagner. The company operates as a project-based B2B manufacturer providing CNC turning, CNC milling, welding, steel construction, fixture construction, and assembly services for industrial clients. Its modern machinery park includes Weiler E40/E60/E80 cycle-controlled turning centers (capable of parts up to 1800mm length and 1200mm swing diameter) and UNITECH XV1270/XR760 machining centers equipped with Sinumerik 828 D ShopMill and 840 DSL controls, supporting single-piece, small-batch (5-200 units), and serial production runs of several thousand parts.

The company maintains ISO 9001:2015 (since 1997, valid through June 2028) and DIN EN ISO 3834-4 welding certifications, with in-house weld qualification documentation (WPS) and certified welders covering MIG, MAG, WIG, E-Hand, Autogen, and Aluminum processes. Wagner has long-standing supplier relationships with major industrial manufacturers — one of the largest rail vehicle manufacturers (since 1994) and one of the largest industrial steam turbine manufacturers (since 1997) — and has expanded its scope with the turbine customer to complete welded assembly manufacturing. The customer base additionally includes SMEs, research institutions, universities, and public-sector clients.

The business model is a quote-based, project-driven custom manufacturing service with direct B2B sales and no public pricing. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time project orders ranging from prototyping to serial production, with operations supported by a dedicated material warehouse for turbine-grade steels and a rail-vehicle logistics department. Ownership has remained within the founding Wagner family since inception, with management transferred to Markus Wagner in 2006 and current Geschäftsführung held by Rick Noack and Lisa Böttcher. The company has not raised external capital, has no subsidiaries, and relies on a single production site in Görlitz.
