What Seeberger does

Seeberger GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned German precision manufacturer founded in 1983 and headquartered in Schalksmühle (Sauerland region), with a registered office in Lüdenscheid under a GmbH & Co. KG structure. The company specializes in cutting, deburring and machining tubes, profiles and solid materials, operating on tolerances up to ±0.05 mm using automated precision saws, laser processing and centrifugal force grinding, and producing 250 million parts per year for 1,500+ customers across automotive, mechanical engineering, medical technology, aerospace, construction, energy, plastics and bicycle industries.

The product portfolio spans seven categories: tube products, profile products, tube processing services, surface treatment, solid material cutting, contract sawing and tube trading. Tube trading is operated through sister company Seeberger Rohr- und Stahlhandel GmbH, which holds 5,000 sqm of warehouse with 2,500,000 metres of tube across 2,000 items and feeds the manufacturing side with preferential procurement. The company supports customers with no minimum order quantities, an express 24/48-hour service, sample production, test production and just-in-time delivery for automotive requirements, with all measurement results archived under a TÜV-certified DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 CAQ quality management system held since 1996.

Seeberger operates a sales-led, direct distribution model: customers engage via website forms, email, phone or trade shows (e.g. IZB 2024), with the company's own fleet handling regional German deliveries and global export shipping for international accounts. Revenue is generated on a quote-based, project-by-project basis across custom manufacturing, contract sawing, and surface treatment services. The company employs approximately 120 people, holds climate-neutral and family-friendly employer certifications, and is led by Frank Seeberger as CEO (Geschäftsführer).
