About GTE
GTE GmbH & Co. KG from Eppingen-Elsenz is a mid-sized contract manufacturer in metalworking with around 20 employees. On approx. 4,000 m² of production space, the company brings manufacturing processes such as plasma and flame cutting, bending, welding (MAG process 135), stress-relief annealing, sandblasting as well as priming and painting under one roof. Through the merger with GSW Maschinenbau GmbH in Waibstadt, GTE additionally offers CNC machining and assembly of complex, large welded assemblies; both companies each have 60 tonnes of crane capacity. Production is predominantly in the steel grades S235 and S355, with assemblies up to 50 tonnes unit weight in Eppingen and CNC machining up to 60 tonnes in Waibstadt. Customers come from the automotive, mining, mechanical engineering and plant construction industries. The company is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and DIN EN 1090-2 EXC3.
