Tabler High Tech Blech

What Tabler High Tech Blech does

Tabler High Tech Blech, legally Peter Tabler GmbH, is a German family-owned sheet metal fabrication company founded in 1986 by Peter Tabler and headquartered in Korntal-Münchingen near Stuttgart. The company operates a 4,500 m² manufacturing facility staffed by 35 employees and is jointly led by Peter and Andreas Tabler, the latter having joined as co-CEO in 1999. Its core operations span laser cutting, stamping, CNC bending, hydraulic pressing, and certified welding (MIG, MAG, TIG, spot, and stud), supported by CAD/CAM design and ISO 9001:2008-certified quality management.

The company's technology base is built around Trumpf machine tools, including the TruLaser 3030 (TRUMATIC L3030 L49), the TruPunch 5000 (SMT), the TruBend 5130 press brake, and — notably — the TruBend Cell 5000, billed as the world's first fully automated bending cell with image recognition. In addition to contract fabrication, Tabler designs and manufactures industrial silencers for compressor, pump, and OEM customers, providing a proprietary finished-product line alongside its job-shop services.

Commercially, Tabler operates a B2B contract-manufacturing and OEM-supply model, selling precision metal components and sub-assemblies to blue-chip industrial customers including Bosch, Trumpf, Porsche, KAESER, MAHLE, Hermle, Busch, Gardner Denver, STRATEC, Dürr, and BEUMER. Revenue is generated through project-based fabrication orders and recurring OEM supply of silencers, with no disclosed pricing model, subscription component, or external capital structure. The company is privately held, has not raised external funding, and has no disclosed M&A activity, leaving it as a classic Mittelstand specialist relying on long-term customer relationships and capital reinvestment for growth.

Core offering

Tabler High Tech Blech is a German contract manufacturer specializing in precision sheet metal processing for industrial customers. The company produces custom bent and formed sheet metal parts using laser cutting, CNC bending, hydraulic pressing/drawing, and welding, alongside a proprietary line of industrial silencers for pneumatic and vacuum systems. Operations span the full value chain from CAD-based design and construction through fabrication, assembly, and quality-controlled delivery of sample parts to medium production series.

Product overview

Tabler High Tech Blech is a sheet metal fabrication company offering a unified portfolio of manufacturing services centered on precision sheet metal processing. The core offering consists of six integrated manufacturing services: Laser Cutting/Stamping (Lasern/Stanzen) for sheet metal processing up to 20mm thickness; Precision Bending (Kanttechnik) on modern CNC press brakes including automated cells; Press and Draw Parts (Press- und Ziehteile) using hydraulic presses up to 200 tons; Welding and Joining (Schweißen) for assemblies and apparatus construction; Industrial Silencers (Schalldämpfer) as standard, integrated, or custom solutions; and CAD-based Construction/Design (Konstruktion/CAD) services. These services are supported by integrated production control from design through delivery. Production volumes range from sample parts through small and medium series, with optional surface finishes. The company operates modern TRUMPF machines and has modernized its machine park approximately every 5-6 years.

Products and services

• Laser Cutting and Stamping (Lasern / Stanzen) Laser cutting and stamping services for sheet metal processing, handling thicknesses from 0.1mm to 20mm with tolerances in the 0.1mm range, performed on fully automated Trumpf machines including the L 3030 flatbed laser and TC6000 laser press. Targeted at industrial manufacturers needing precision flat and formed components.
• Precision Bending (Kanttechnik) Precision bending on Trumpf CNC-controlled press brakes with 6-axis adjustable backstops, including the automated TruBend Cell 5000 with BendMaster 60 and image recognition for high-repeatability bending of parts up to 40 kg. Serves industrial customers needing tight-tolerance bent components from prototype to series.
• Press and Draw Parts (Press- und Ziehteile) Manufacturing of press and drawn parts using double- and triple-action hydraulic draw presses with pressing force up to 200 tons and clamping dimensions up to 900mm; processes sheet metal up to 20mm in steel, aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and copper. Serves industrial OEMs requiring deep-drawn or pressed metal components.
• Welding and Joining (Schweißen) Welding and joining services covering MIG/MAG/TIG, stud welding, spot welding, soldering, clinching, riveting, and TOX joining for complex welded assemblies and apparatus construction. For industrial customers requiring fabricated and assembled sheet metal structures.
• Industrial Silencers (Schalldämpfer) Industrial silencers for pneumatic, compressed air, vacuum, and displacement pump systems; offered as standard units (NW 50 to NW 500), integrated silencers functioning as equipment carriers, and custom-engineered special silencers. Reduces pressure pulsation by 60% and achieves insertion damping up to 45 dB. Targets compressor, vacuum pump, and industrial pump manufacturers such as KAESER and Busch.
• CAD-Based Design and Construction (Konstruktion / CAD) CAD-based design and construction services using SOLIDWORKS and PTC Pro/ENGINEER to create models, drawings, construction data, and 3D models from customer sample parts, with seamless integration into downstream laser and bending programming and metrology. For industrial customers seeking a single-source partner from concept through manufactured part.

Broad incumbents

• Schuler Group: German press technology and metal forming specialist supplying the automotive and industrial sectors with presses, automation, and tooling. Comparable as a broad incumbent in sheet metal forming whose press technology directly overlaps Tabler's press and draw parts capability (up to 200 tons).
• Prima Power: Italian-Finnish sheet metal machinery manufacturer offering laser cutting, punching, bending, and automation. Comparable as a broad incumbent serving the same contract manufacturing market with 2D/3D laser and bending technology directly overlapping Tabler's service portfolio.
• Bystronic: Swiss-listed global supplier of sheet metal processing machinery (laser cutting, bending, automation) with a growing services business. Comparable as a broad incumbent serving the same automotive and industrial OEMs with both equipment and integrated production solutions.
• Salvagnini: Italian manufacturer of flexible sheet metal processing systems (panel benders, punching/shearing, FMS lines). Comparable as a broad incumbent whose integrated automation competes with Tabler's combination of TruBend bending cells and laser cutting for high-mix contract manufacturing work.
• Murata Machinery: Japanese industrial machinery group with a sheet metal fabrication equipment business (laser cutting, press automation). Comparable as a broad incumbent whose equipment is installed across European automotive and industrial OEMs competing in the same downstream contract manufacturing space as Tabler.
• TRUMPF: German global leader in sheet metal processing machinery (laser cutting, bending) and also a Tabler customer. Directly comparable as the upstream machinery OEM whose equipment (TruBend Cell 5000, L3030, TC6000) Tabler operates, and which increasingly offers contract manufacturing services of its own through TruLaser solutions.
• Amada: Japanese global leader in sheet metal machinery (lasers, punch presses, bending) with a significant installed base across European automotive and industrial customers. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose equipment competes head-to-head with Trumpf for the type of work Tabler performs.
