Intedat Opens the Door to German Machine Tool Manufacturers
German machine tool manufacturers rank among the global elite – and Czech suppliers are key partners for them.
Germany is the world’s second-largest producer of machine tools. This segment is highly innovative, strongly export-oriented, and simultaneously open to foreign suppliers. Czech manufacturers of components and system solutions thus have a firm place in supply chains.
The significance of the machine tool segment in Germany and its connection with the Czech Republic
1. Technological elite of global engineering
Germany is home to world leaders in machine tools:
- DMG Mori
- Trumpf
- Gildemeister
- Heller
- Chiron Group
- Emag
- Index Werke
These companies determine the direction of development in CNC technologies, production automation, and Industry 4.0. Their products find application across the automotive industry, aviation, healthcare, and energy sectors.
2. Export driver with global reach
More than 60% of German machine tool production goes to export. Major markets include the USA, China, Italy, France, and also Central and Eastern European countries.
For Czech companies, this means not only an opportunity to supply components to German manufacturers but also the possibility to participate in their international projects.
3. Czechs as key subcontractors
German machine tool manufacturers have long been using components from the Czech Republic. What are the main advantages of Czech suppliers?
- geographical proximity and fast logistics
- high production quality
- competitive pricing
- technical competence and flexibility
Typical subcontracts from the Czech Republic:
- precisely machined parts (spindles, bearing housings, guides)
- welded frames and housings
- sheet metal parts and covers
- electrical cabinets, wiring and assembly units
- surface-treated or painted components
4. Assembly and development partially relocated to the Czech Republic
Some German manufacturers have their own production or assembly capacities in the Czech Republic or collaborate with development centers there. The reason is the favorable ratio of costs, quality, and availability of technical workers.
