What Ossenberg-Engels GmbH does

Ossenberg-Engels GmbH is a privately held, family-owned German precision metal forming and assembly manufacturer, founded in 1925 and now in its fifth generation of family management. The company is headquartered in Neuenrade-Küntrop, North Rhine-Westphalia, on a purpose-built site of approximately 5,000 m² that consolidated operations relocated from Altena-Evingsen around 2015. It employs approximately 45 people and processed roughly 3,800 tonnes of material and 15.3 million components in its most recent disclosed annual period across a fleet of 33 machine types. Its capabilities span wire and tube bending (1–30 mm diameter wire), stamping and stamped-bent parts (up to 250 t press force), cold forming (5–24 mm wire), knurling and threading (M3–M20), MIG/MAG/WIG and resistance welding, and full assembly into ready-to-install modules, with an in-house toolroom (Werkzeugbau) using CAM software and 3D-printed prototyping that allows it to design, build, and modify tools without external dependence. The company is TÜV-certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 (valid until 14 December 2027) and is a founding member since 2015 of the Industry Performance Germany (IPG) network of eight complementary manufacturers.
