KADIGO Werkzeugmaschinen und Zubehör Handels GmbH

What KADIGO Werkzeugmaschinen und Zubehör Handels GmbH does

KADIGO Werkzeugmaschinen und Zubehör Handels GmbH is a privately held German trading company (Handelshaus) founded in 1994 and headquartered at Walramstrasse 27 in Idstein, Hesse. The firm operates as a specialized B2B distributor of high-quality CNC machine tools, automation equipment, and related accessories for industrial manufacturers, operating with a small staff of approximately nine employees under managing director Maximilian Eichmann. Its customer focus is German and DACH-region industrial manufacturing buyers requiring precision metalworking equipment for milling, turning, deep-hole drilling, sawing, and automated production.

The company's product portfolio is organized across five categories: (1) new machine tools from approximately fifteen manufacturing partners including Röders HSC milling machines (RXP/RPT/RHP/RXS series), AXA gantry and portal machining centers, CMZ CNC lathes, VISION WIDE portal mills, AVEREX horizontal machining centers, DAHLIH vertical machining centers, FIVE STAR plan mills, and Po Ly Gim Swiss-style lathes; (2) automation solutions via RoboJob Mill-Assist robot cells and TOP AUTOMAZIONI bar loaders; (3) accessories including BLUM Novotest probing, Blaser Swisslube cutting fluids, AR Filtrazioni air purification, UYAR VisionLine process cameras, SCHUNK workholding, and BIG DAISHOWA tooling; (4) used and refurbished machinery; and (5) service and spare parts. Four partners — Röders, AXA, CMZ, and RoboJob — are designated Premium Partners with explicit closer collaboration. Machines are equipped with FANUC, HEIDENHAIN, or SIEMENS CNC controls and integrate BLUM or Renishaw measurement systems and Erowa/System 3R clamping.

KADIGO's go-to-market is sales-led and direct: customers engage via phone (+49 6126 / 50936-0), the contact form on kadigo.de, or through a newsletter and machine catalog on its professional website. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with high-ticket capital equipment sales. The firm emphasizes personal customer service, exclusive partnerships with manufacturers it characterizes as quality-led, and comprehensive single-source procurement for CNC cells. The company is privately held, with no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no announced expansion beyond its existing DACH regional footprint.
