Finke Gmbh

What Finke Gmbh does

Finke GmbH (legal entity: Hans Finke GmbH & Co. KG) is a family-owned German precision machining job shop founded in 1969 in Herford, North Rhine-Westphalia. The company operates a single manufacturing facility at Zeppelinstraße 4, employing 42 people, and delivers CNC turning, milling, hard turning (up to 67 HRC with surface finish Ra < 0.2µ), grinding, welding (MIG/MAG/WIG), in-house heat treatment (hardening, tempering, nitriding; furnaces up to 1100°C), surface finishing, and assembly services. Its machine park is built primarily on Okuma CNC turning/milling and machining centers with Y-axis, powered tools, bar feed systems, automatic bar loading with magazine, and a portal robot for unattended 24/7 operation. Production covers prototypes through serial runs up to approximately 50,000 pieces, with a notable specialty in long-shaft manufacturing up to 10,000mm and a turning diameter range of 2mm-750mm.

The business model is project-based B2B sales: customers (industrial manufacturers across sectors including medical devices, steam turbines, and mechanical engineering) request quotes directly via phone, email, or fax. Pricing is custom per part based on material, complexity, tolerance, and volume. The company emphasizes a one-stop-shop value proposition, with an express delivery service (within 1 hour) backed by DHL Express and TNT Express logistics partnerships to prevent customer production downtime. Differentiators are vertical integration (raw material to finished part in-house), material versatility across all steel types, plastics, brass, aluminium, bronze, titanium, Hastelloy, and cast iron, plus certifications including EN 10204 inspection certificates and TÜV re-stamping approval. Management is led by Josef Matuschok (Technical Director & Sales) and Denis Matuschok (Commercial Director, QM, IT, CAD). No external funding, acquisitions, or public listing are disclosed.
