About CEFEG
CEFEG GmbH is a manufacturer of springs, stamped and wire-bent parts as well as assemblies based in Chemnitz. The production range includes tension, compression, torsion and leg springs, roll and spiral springs, flat-form springs, wire-bent parts, stamped parts and hybrid products made of metal and plastic. Production is carried out on Wafios wire-bending machines, presses from Bihler, Minster, Schaal and Bruderer as well as CNC-controlled stamping-bending machines and NC technology; prototypes, small and large series are possible. The value chain extends from design with simulation of production processes through in-house toolmaking (approx. 1,000 m²) to additional services such as welding, vibratory finishing, heat treatment, parts cleaning, assembly and packaging. The company supplies industries ranging from automotive and commercial vehicle suppliers to electrical engineering, electronics and medical technology, as well as furniture manufacturing and locks, fittings and fittings hardware.
