Since 1932
Family business in the fifth generation.
Tradition meets innovation – for over 90 years.
Our History
Five generations.
One vision.
In 1932, Ernst Schäfer laid the foundation for our company. Since then, we have evolved from a small craft business into a modern manufacturing company – without forgetting our roots.
In 2024, Hartmut Schäfer handed over the company to his son Sebastian. New ideas, proven values – and still a family business that stands by its word.
What has distinguished us over all these years: We know our trade. We pass on and continuously develop our knowledge of materials and processes.
Direct contacts
With us, you speak directly to the decision-makers. No long paths through departments – your concern reaches the right people immediately.
Flat hierarchies
As a family business, we rely on short paths and open doors. Every employee takes responsibility and can make decisions.
Quick decision-making
Change requests, custom orders, urgent orders – we stand for fast response times.
Our Team
People who make
the difference.
Our employees are the foundation of our success. Experienced professionals who understand their craft and are passionate about their work.
Our Smiths
The heart of our production. Experienced smiths with decades of expertise shape metal into precision parts.
Quality Control
Strict testing procedures ensure that every component meets our high standards – before it leaves our facility.
Tool Making
In-house tool manufacturing for maximum flexibility. We build and maintain our dies ourselves – quickly and precisely.
Design
From the first sketch to the finished component. Our design team develops forge-ready solutions.
Innovation
Tradition meets
new paths.
We combine traditional forging craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Our self-developed machine learning system – created entirely in-house from data generation to training – proactively controls production and purchasing.
The result: shorter lead times, optimized inventory levels, and a clear view of every production step. You always know where your order stands.
For us, innovation is not an end in itself – it serves a clear goal: to offer you the best possible service as a customer.
