Wolpert Modell- und Formenbau GmbH

What Wolpert Modell- und Formenbau GmbH does

Wolpert Modell- und Formenbau GmbH is a German tool and mold making company headquartered in Bretzfeld-Schwabbach, Germany, operating as part of the diversified Wolpert Gruppe industrial conglomerate. The company designs and manufactures prototype and small-series production tools for the automotive industry, with specialized capabilities in multicomponent (1K/2K/3K) injection molding, organosheet/organoblech lightweight technology, GID/LFI/hybrid parts and additive manufacturing (STL, SLS, SLA, FDM). It also operates large-scale 5-axis CNC machining for workpieces up to 6x3m and 20 tons, and runs an in-house plastics technology center anchored by a 4000t ENGEL injection molding machine — one of the few such presses available in Germany for prototype and small-series production.

The company's offering extends beyond toolmaking into full contract manufacturing of small series up to 10,000 parts annually, complete module assembly (ZSB) including electronics and sensors, engineering services such as CAD/CAM programming and Moldflow simulation, and FARO-based component measurement with test report generation. Customers are exclusively in the automotive value chain, spanning premium OEMs (Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz AG, Volkswagen, Porsche AG, Daimler Truck, MAN, SEAT) and Tier-1 suppliers (Magna, Valeo, Plastic Omnium, Brose, Grupo Antolin, HBPO, Rehau, Röchling Automotive, SMP, Wirthwein, Woco, Geiger Automotive). Recent product expansion into E-mobility components and 2K charging/refueling modules indicates a deliberate alignment with vehicle electrification programs.

The business model is project-based B2B enterprise sales with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Revenue is generated through one-time tool development projects, transaction-fee contract manufacturing, and professional engineering/testing services, delivered via direct enterprise sales to automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in Germany. The entity is led by Managing Director Thilo Hofmann and operates with a stated headcount of approximately 5 employees, leaning on shared Wolpert Gruppe infrastructure for broader scale.
