What GOLZ (U.K.) LIMITED does

GÖLZ is a Germany-headquartered, privately held manufacturer of professional diamond tools, drilling and sawing equipment, and mobile battery power systems serving the construction industry. The company was founded in 1946 by Siegfried Götz and today operates through GÖLZ GmbH (Hellenthal, Germany) as the primary manufacturing entity, GÖLZ Holding (Salzburg, Austria) as group headquarters, and seven wholly-owned subsidiaries across the UK, France, Austria, Belgium, the United States, and China. Its core products fall into two categories: Machines (core drills, table saws, floor saws, band saws, slurry recycling systems, surface preparation equipment, hand-held cutters, circular building saws, and high-frequency power tools) and Diamond Tools (blades, grinding and polishing tools, drill bits, and chains/guide bars). More recently, GÖLZ has expanded into portable battery power with the BattPak 5048 (2022) and BattPak 3621 (2025), the latter featuring industry-first NMC solid-state battery technology, IP67 waterproofing, patented cooling technology, and modular expansion up to 13kWh.

Technology is centred on diamond-tool manufacturing, drilling/sawing machinery, and proprietary battery systems. Notable technical components include NMC solid-state battery cells claimed to retain 80% capacity after 4,000 charge cycles, a granted patented cooling architecture for high-power sustained operation, an integrated smartphone app for remote monitoring, and IP67-rated enclosures with solar charging support. Manufacturing is split between Germany (Hellenthal) for engineering-intensive production, Austria (Salzburg) for diamond tool development post the 1987 TTS-Austria acquisition, and China (Hangzhou) for cost-effective production.

Revenue is generated through B2B sales of machines, diamond consumables, mobile energy solutions, and replacement accessories, primarily via direct sales through the seven subsidiaries' own sales and service centres and secondarily through trained distributors in 40+ countries. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company operates a quote-based commercial model. Customer segments span construction contractors (primary), film and media production, and emergency responders. The company has been investor-owned by ZENT Group since 2013 and achieved industry recognition in 2025 when the BattPak 3621 won the i SUCCESS AWARDS for 'Best Green Battery Power for Film' at Cannes.
