About Käppler & Pausch
Founded in 1993, Käppler & Pausch GmbH is a system supplier and OEM manufacturer of metal assemblies headquartered in Neukirch/Lausitz. On a production area of around 17,000 m², approximately 160 employees produce complex welded assemblies from steel, stainless steel and aluminium with a high level of manufacturing depth – from development and design through laser cutting (2D/3D), waterjet cutting, tube laser and profile processing, CNC bending, welding (MAG, TIG, CMT, robot-guided), multi-material-capable adhesive bonding and powder coating up to corrosivity category C5 according to DIN EN ISO 12944, to assembly of complete units. Production ranges from lot size 1 to small and medium series, including machine enclosures, terminal housings for digital signage, components for solar systems and workpieces up to 17 m in length. Customers come from mechanical and plant engineering, information technology, medical and environmental technology, agricultural machinery, rail vehicle construction, the automotive industry, aerospace and special machinery construction. The quality management system is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, the company is also EN 1090-2 certified and supplies clients in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and across Europe.

Materials & Processes
Steel
Base material for laser-cut parts, welded assemblies and bent parts up to 20 mm sheet thickness in laser cutting.
Stainless Steel
For corrosion-resistant assemblies, including with powder coating and fine weld seams produced by 3D laser welding.
Aluminium
Lightweight-capable material for enclosures, housings and assemblies in laser cutting, bending and adhesive bonding.
Galvanised Steel
Processed in the blasting and coating process for durable, corrosion-protected surfaces up to category C5.
Non-Ferrous Metals
Materials processed in CNC bending and forming for special applications.
Acrylic Glass (PMMA)
Multi-material-capable adhesive bonding joins plastics such as acrylic glass with metal, among other things for housings and enclosures.
Polymer Materials
Can be joined with steel, stainless steel and aluminium in the bonding process for large-area and thin-walled components.
