Repa Maschinenbau Und Verwaltung Gmbh

What Repa Maschinenbau Und Verwaltung Gmbh does

REPA Maschinenbau und Verwaltung Gmbh is a family-owned German precision manufacturing company headquartered in Hessisch Lichtenau, Hesse, operating across two production sites (Hessisch Lichtenau and Fuldabrück via its wholly-owned subsidiary FST Fuldabrücker Schweiß- und Drehtechnik GmbH). The company produces machined, welded, painted, and assembled components and assemblies for industrial customers, with primary verticals in public transport and general mechanical engineering, and secondary exposure to shipbuilding, medical technology, and aerospace. Core manufacturing capabilities include large-format CNC machining (Soraluce centers up to 12,000mm length and 60-ton piece weight), welding (WIG/MIG/MAG via FST), industrial coating (two paint booths totaling 154m² with RAL colors and functional coatings), pre-assembly and final assembly, 3D metrology (Wenzel LH 1512 coordinate measuring machine, FARO Laser Tracker), and logistics with in-house fleet up to 25 tons.

The company employs approximately 50-55 people across both locations and is led by the Schneider family (founder Günther Schneider alongside Sabine, Markus, Damaris, and Finn Schneider). The business holds a stack of industry certifications maintained since 2001: DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 across REPA, FST, and sister company GSB Handel GmbH, plus DIN EN 15085-2 CL1 (railway welding), EN 1090-2 EXC3 (steel structures), DIN EN ISO 3834-2 (fusion welding), and DIN 2303 for FST. The longest documented customer relationship is with HÜBNER in public transport, with over 20,000 cylinder holders produced and a 2015 Supplier Innovation Award.

The revenue model is project-based B2B contract manufacturing under direct sales, with project quotes driven by specifications, materials, complexity, and volume rather than publicly disclosed pricing. The company differentiates on vertically integrated single-source delivery (machining through painting, assembly, documentation with 20-year retention), just-in-time delivery capability, and large-format machining capacity beyond typical job-shop scale. Long-term customer relationships and embedded documentation requirements create switching costs. Geographic focus is regional (Hesse, Germany) with own logistics fleet plus regional forwarding agents for distant deliveries.
