GOLLMER Formen GmbH

What GOLLMER Formen GmbH does

GOLLMER Formen GmbH is a German Mittelstand engineering services firm that, since its founding in 2005 by Werner Gollmer, has specialized in the international procurement and project management of injection moulds for thermoplastics. The company sources moulds from a network of suppliers in China, Vietnam, India and Eastern Europe, supervises tool design and construction on-site, and complements the procurement layer with an in-house after-sales mould shop at its Kirchheim unter Teck headquarters (360 m² office, 550 m² tool shop, established 2012 and relocated into a new building in 2022). GOLLMER is DIN EN ISO 9001 and CE certified and applies a documented 10-step quotation-to-delivery process, bundling logistics and duty handling (frei Haus, verzollt) for German and broader DACH customers, with a value claim of up to 50% cost and lead-time savings versus domestic German mould production.

The technical surface area extends beyond procurement. The firm runs injection moulding simulation (filling phase, holding pressure/cooling, warpage/shrinkage prediction and multi-layer VARIMOS matrix analysis) and offers selective laser sintering of additively manufactured mould inserts with near-net-shape conformal cooling. Turnkey systems — pairing customer-specific injection moulds with Haitian International injection moulding machines, project management and sampling — are sold jointly with Haitian International Germany. After-sales services include CNC milling, EDM, wire EDM, laser welding, mould cleaning, incoming inspection, flow testing and MOLD-MASTERS TEMPMASTER M1 hot-runner functional testing. The firm additionally supplies mould components and assemblies (inserts, sliders, ejectors, scraper plates, contour ejectors, lifting segments) with 3D-measurement prior to relocation, along with customised measuring and testing devices, prototypes and small-series production.

The commercial model is sales-led, quote-based and project-driven, with no public pricing. GOLLMER serves 11 verticals — automotive and suppliers, construction, electrical and electronics, precision engineering and optics, household appliances, plastics, aerospace, medical technology, packaging, metalworking, and mechanical and plant engineering — but names no reference customers under a confidentiality policy. Go-to-market combines a personal, on-site sales motion, active trade-fair presence at FAKUMA, KPA Ulm and KUTENO, and a refreshed digital footprint (LinkedIn, YouTube, German/English website, newsletter, downloadable resources). The company grew from 3 employees in 2005 to 17-19 by 2025 and operates as a privately held GmbH with a related subsidiary, Gollmer Industrieservice GmbH, founded in 2007.
