What Batz+Burgel does

Batz+Burgel is a German B2B metal trading and metalworking company headquartered in Friedberg, Bavaria, founded in 1994 by Jürgen Batz and Jürgen Burgel during the 1992/1993 German economic crisis. The company operates as a second-generation family business structured as a GmbH & Co. KG, with 38 employees serving industrial customers primarily across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and wider Europe. It is fully self-funded, with no external investors or parent company, and is currently undertaking a €2M+ expansion of its production area by 50% with completion scheduled for spring 2026.

The company's offering integrates two complementary service lines. The first is metal trading, distributed through a B2B e-commerce platform carrying over 50,000 articles in aluminum, steel, copper, brass, and bronze across profiles, sheets, plates, and bars, with instant quotation capability. The second is custom metalworking services, delivered on a modern CNC machinery park including 5-axis (Tekna TKE 955), 4-axis, and 3-axis machining centers, Trumpf TrueLaser 4030 (5,000 W, 2,000 x 4,000 mm), an HWM-P6030 water jet system (3,050 x 6,050 mm), and Schelling HPO cutting optimization, supported by a Peps CAD/CAM programming station handling 2D and 3D design files. Service capabilities span CNC milling, sawing, laser cutting, water jet cutting, sheet metal processing, profile machining, and pre-assembly of complex components. The company is DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 certified.

The business model is project-based with quote-driven pricing across B2B e-commerce, direct sales, and WhatsApp channels. Customer segments are organized vertically into automotive (electromobility components, battery bodies, base plates), mechanical engineering (housing parts, machine bodies, complex assemblies), and architecture & art (facade elements, museum installations, signature projects including Munich Airport Terminal 2, Städel Museum Frankfurt, and the Hugendubel Marienplatz flagship). The company is currently expanding its profile machining business area and was named a Hyperloop development innovation partner in 2023.

Regional players

• Blechtechnik Bayern GmbH: Bavarian sheet metal processor offering laser cutting, bending, and welding services. Comparable in the sheet metal processing and CNC capabilities, serving a similar regional industrial customer base.
• MTM Metal Trade Mager GmbH: German metal service center offering trading and processing of non-ferrous metals. Comparable in non-ferrous metals focus and southern Germany presence, though primarily a wholesaler rather than a fabrication shop.
• Haslinger Stahl: Austrian metal trading and processing company serving DACH industrial customers with steel and aluminum products. Comparable in trading / light processing mix, with overlapping Austrian/German client base.
• Dittrich + Partner: German metal processor providing cutting, machining, and surface treatment services with multi-site production. Similar integrated metal service offering, overlapping primarily in southern Germany.

Broad incumbents

• ThyssenKrupp Materials Services: European market leader in materials distribution and processing, including metals. Overlaps in metal trading and processing services, but with pan-European infrastructure and integration into a much larger industrial group.
• Klöckner & Co SE: One of Europe's largest metal distribution and processing networks with broad material range and digital platforms. Overlaps with Batz+Burgel in metal trading and basic processing, but operates at vastly larger scale with global footprint.
• TRIMET Aluminium SE: European producer and processor of aluminum products with vertical integration from smelting through finished parts. Shares the aluminum value chain focus and German industrial customer base, but operates primary production that Batz+Burgel does not.

Direct peers

• Mager & Wedemeyer: German metal service center offering trading, cutting, and processing of aluminum, steel, and non-ferrous metals with a multi-site footprint. Highly comparable in business model (trading + processing) and target customer base (DACH industrials), but larger in scale.
• Kaltenbach GmbH + Co. KG: German metal processing company offering sawing, CNC machining, and assembly services for industrial customers. Comparable in custom fabrication services and DACH industrial customer focus, with overlapping sawing/milling capabilities.
• Fehr GmbH: German metal service center and processor specializing in steel and aluminum trading plus cutting services. Directly comparable in trading-plus-processing model and customer base.
