Gindele GmbH

What Gindele GmbH does

Gindele GmbH is a family-owned German precision injection molding company headquartered in Neuhausen, Baden-Württemberg, founded in 1980 and now managed in its second generation by Managing Director Matthias Gindele. The company operates computer-controlled injection molding machines with clamping forces of 25–250 tons, producing plastic parts from 0.02 to 430 grams with accuracy to hundredths of a millimeter, and maintains in-house mold-making capability using 5-axis milling, EDM, and VISI CAD/CAM software. Its service portfolio spans four integrated stages: custom mold design and manufacturing, serial injection molding production, partial-to-full assembly (including ultrasonic welding, ball insertion, thread assembly, and printing), and custom automation — including fully automated lines with up to 17 downstream processes and 6-axis robotics.

The company serves three primary verticals: medical technology (medical devices, surgical instruments, sterile accessories, endoscopy and infusion pump components produced under cleanroom conditions with FDA-compatible sterilization), electrical engineering (connectors, PCB assemblies, sensors, and hybrid plastic-metal components), and mechanical engineering (valve technology, automotive, HVAC, and water-treatment components). Gindele is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001 and DIN 14001, with ISO 13485 medical-device certification in progress, and applies Statistical Process Control with full batch traceability. It delivers products globally via its own logistics and engages customers from initial concept through series production.

Gindele's go-to-market is direct B2B sales via dedicated department-specific email channels, supported by trade fair participation (MedtecLIVE, KPA, Fakuma), LinkedIn, YouTube, and a technical content glossary. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with multi-year contracts typical once tooling is qualified. Strategic partnerships include Robomotion GmbH and KUKA for complex automation, Hochschule Reutlingen for applied research, and membership in regional plastics-industry networks. The company reports approximately 15 employees and has no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or external ownership.
