Heinz Berger Maschinenfabrik GmbH & KG
About us
The Berger Gruppe develops and manufactures CNC-controlled grinding machines for various industries, such as the cutlery, tooling, automotive, and aerospace industries.
Each year, out of a total of 80–110 new systems, 10–12 new machine types or new production processes are completed. As an ABB and KUKA robotics system integrator, the company primarily uses robots to automate its machines. The robots are employed for both handling and workpiece or tool guidance.
A key factor in the implementation of automation is the feeding technology for the components to be machined. Consequently, the development of workpiece feeding systems and interfaces for other production steps is an important area of focus for the company.
Thanks to the latest advancements in broadband connectivity and digitalization in manufacturing, the company has developed interfaces for Industry 4.0 applications featuring networked sensor technology, signal evaluation, and the integration of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for the machines.
Over the past two decades, under the operational leadership of Heinz Berger Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, the group has grown through the acquisition of five additional mechanical engineering companies. These have been merged as brands within the Berger Gruppe.
The growth in the number of employees and the expansion of the product range led to a facility expansion at the Wuppertal-Cronenberg site. Today, the group employs 195 people across 9,000 m² of production and office space and generates annual revenue of approximately 27 million €.
The product portfolio consists primarily of approximately 250 CNC-controlled machine types and over 1,100 robot integrations.
