What Greber AG does
Greber AG is a Swiss precision mechanics company, historically based in Reichenbach in the canton of Bern and now operating as part of Wandfluh Produktions AG out of Frutigen (Parallelstrasse 42, CH-3714). Under the GPRTOPS brand ("Spitzenqualitäts-Spitzen"), it manufactures high-precision centering points (Zentrierspitzen) and related tooling used to position and clamp workpieces in industrial machining operations. Its core product lines include fixed centering points (Feste Zentrierspitzen) in standardized and custom forms, live/rotating centering points (Mitlaufende Zentrierspitzen) with optional ejector threads and nuts, MABEX ball points with interchangeable tungsten carbide balls, collet chucks, tool-steel and diamond-coated variants, and accessories such as reduction sleeves, centering insert holders, and positioning drivers. Differentiation is grounded in proprietary precision manufacturing, use of quality materials including tungsten carbide and diamond coatings, and the ability to develop customer-specific Sonderanfertigungen for specialized machining processes and process optimization.
The company serves industrial manufacturing customers requiring precise workpiece centering and positioning, operating on a direct B2B sales model with quote-based pricing (Offertanfrage), a dedicated sales network (Vertriebsnetz), and a product-catalog website (gprtops.ch). Geographic focus is regional, centered on Switzerland. Effective January 1, Greber AG was fully acquired and integrated into Wandfluh Produktions AG, with all products and services — including GPRTOPS — continuing without interruption under the parent's production automation umbrella. No revenue, headcount, or AI/digital capability data is disclosed in the available sources.
