About Us
NORDMEYER TECHNOLOGIES GmbH develops and manufactures custom specialized and drilling vehicles for demanding surface and underground applications. The portfolio includes fully hydraulic universal drilling rigs of the DSB series, double-head geothermal drilling rigs of the Geo Vario series, small drilling rigs, special and mining vehicles, and drilling tools, including custom-made parts. The company sees itself as a manufacturer: Every vehicle is produced in a modular system at the headquarters in Salzgitter in single or small-series production and is comprehensively tested before delivery. Production is based on steel construction using certified welding processes (111, 135, 141) according to DIN CEN ISO/TR 15608. With 140 employees, including 15 apprentices, over 4,000 vehicles have been delivered and over 18,500 spare parts items have been permanently stocked. Since 01.03.2025, Nordmeyer has operated as an independent, owner-managed family business and has been operating under the new name NORDMEYER TECHNOLOGIES GmbH since November 2025.
