Ingolstadt & Region – Industrial location for sheet metal processing and pipe installation

Ingolstadt & Region 10 – Precision manufacturing for the automotive and supplier industry

Ingolstadt – an automotive hub with an industrial core. Ingolstadt is one of Bavaria's strongest industrial centers: around three-quarters of its gross value added comes from the manufacturing sector. This is driven by AUDI AG , headquartered in the city on the Danube, and a dense network of automotive suppliers, mechanical engineering companies, and metal processors . For sheet metal processing in Ingolstadt, this translates to high quality standards and a constant demand for laser cutting, bending, and TIG welding – from prototypes to series production.

Economic Region 10: The city has approximately 141.000 inhabitants , while the Ingolstadt economic region, encompassing the districts of Eichstätt, Pfaffenhofen, and Neuburg-Schrobenhausen, has a population of around 500.000 – boasting one of the lowest unemployment rates in Germany. Besides the automotive industry, the region is characterized by aerospace, food production, mechanical and pipe installation , and the petroleum refining industry.

Ingolstadt's industrial and research expertise

Ingolstadt as a research hub: With the Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences (THI) and the CARISSMA research center for vehicle safety, the university landscape is closely intertwined with the automotive and supplier industries. For us, this means: We manufacture for customers who think in terms of prototype construction, pre-series production, and series production – with correspondingly tight tolerances and meticulous documentation.

The automotive supply industry around Audi: As a specialized service provider for sheet metal processing, we understand the requirements of Ingolstadt's industries in automotive supply, mechanical engineering, pipe installation , and food technology . From individual parts and prototypes to series production in stainless steel – laser cutting, bending, TIG welding, and welded assemblies from a single source.

Short distances: Nördlingen – Ingolstadt

Our factory is located in Nördlingen , about an hour's drive from Ingolstadt. The A9 motorway connects Ingolstadt directly with Munich and Nuremberg, while the B16 highway and the Ingolstadt-North and -South interchanges provide access to the industrial and commercial areas. For you, this means predictable delivery dates, straightforward collection, and personal coordination instead of anonymous order processing.

Stainless steel as a specialty

While many sheet metal companies primarily process steel and aluminum, stainless steel is our core business. We work with 1.4301 (V2A) and 1.4404 (V4A) , understand the distortion behavior during welding, and are familiar with the surface quality requirements in hygiene-sensitive areas – relevant for anyone who has products manufactured for food, pharmaceutical, or chemical applications .

Quality standards: Certified TIG welders according to EN ISO 9606 , welding specialist company according to EN ISO 3834-2 , dimensionally accurate manufacturing and complete documentation – the standard that the Ingolstadt industry requires.
