Kaiser Prazision Gmbh

What Kaiser Prazision Gmbh does

Kaiser Präzision GmbH is a family-owned German precision engineering company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Keltern, Baden-Württemberg. It operates a contract manufacturing (Lohnfertigung) model in which customers submit drawings or specifications and the company produces precision components to order, ranging from single units to large series. Its core competency is centerless grinding (Spitzenlos Schleifen), offered in both through-feed and plunge-cut variants, alongside cylindrical, flat, and profile grinding. Supporting processes include EDM (Senkerodieren), CNC turning and milling, heat treatment (induction hardening, plasma nitriding, vacuum processes), coating (CrN, PVD, TiN, TiC at 2-15 μm thickness), and fiber laser marking, enabling a one-stop-shop from raw blank to finished, marked component.

The company's technical specifications include surface roughness down to Ra = 0.02, dimensional tolerances to 0.002 mm, external diameters to 350 mm, internal diameters from 1 to 250 mm, and lengths to 900 mm. It processes tool steel as well as carbide (WC, TiC, TaC, CrC at 750-2000 HV30), ceramics, copper, titanium, stainless steel, and specialty alloys. Proprietary multi-layer grinding wheel construction combines multiple grain types, hardness grades, and binders to optimize surface finish on a single wheel. Standard product categories include rollers, rolls, stamps and drills, knives, bushings, and measuring inserts, with custom drawing parts accepted across the full range.

Kaiser Präzision generates revenue through quote-based per-job manufacturing services sold directly via phone, email, and website contact form to industrial customers in Germany. Its customer base spans four verticals: automotive and machinery (primary), plus medical technology and food industry (secondary). It is ISO 9001 certified, privately held with no external investors or parent company, and managed by Kurt Kaiser and Artur Graf (Geschäftsführung) alongside Karina Graf (commercial management) and Diran Samouelian (production management). Operational scale is single-site with capacity extended through partnerships with surrounding local machining businesses (umliegende Betriebe).
