The premises of Berger Gruppe are almost hidden from view at the Kohlfurther Bridge between Solingen and Wuppertal in the west of Germany. The group’s holding company Heinz Berger Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1957 in Berghausen by Heinz Berger. Today, 185 employees develop and build Berger special-purpose machines, achieving a revenue of 28 million euros (2023).
Berger Gruppe has a broad base - the company is a supplier to customers in many diverse industry sectors, which allows it to compensate market-related fluctuations in individual areas. Berger’s product portfolio ranges from grinding machines to robot cells and robot automation to steel strip grinding machines and profile generating centers. The spectrum of workpieces processed on these machines has similarly become highly diverse in recent years, from knives, scissors, machine blades and hand tools to surgical instruments and cast parts. Their end customers include well-known companies like Leatherman, Trumpf, Faber Castell, Stanley, Gardena and Zwilling.
