For a century, Gehring has stood for high-precision manufacturing technologies. What began in 1926 with the vision of engineer Christoph Willi Gehring has developed into a globally active technology company that today provides far more than honing machines: Gehring develops innovative and integrated manufacturing solutions for electric and conventional drivetrains as well as for numerous other high-tech industries – from product design to process development and manufacturing technology to automated production lines.
The technological foundation was established in the early years. Christoph Willi Gehring recognized early on that engines cannot be improved solely through new designs, but primarily through the highest precision in manufacturing. With the development of its own honing tools and later complete honing machines, he laid the foundation for a process that continues to set standards in form, dimensional, and surface accuracy to this day. The continuous further development of this technology has made Gehring one of the world's leading specialists in the fine machining of highly stressed components.
From Machine Builder to Development Partner
In the past two decades, Gehring has consistently expanded its technological expertise. The company now sees itself as a development partner for complex manufacturing processes. Modern honing processes, laser structuring, intelligent measuring technology, and digital simulation and process development tools enable highly integrated manufacturing solutions where machine, process, and quality assurance are optimally coordinated. The goal is to reliably increase product quality, process stability, and resource efficiency.
Especially in the field of drive technologies, Gehring actively accompanies the transformation of the industry. In addition to highly productive manufacturing solutions for modern combustion engines, the company today also develops systems for the production of electric drives. Digital engineering tools already support the design and optimization of stators in the development phase, while modular manufacturing systems enable flexible and economical series production. This results in seamless production concepts – from simulation to the finished line.
Technological Continuity as a Future Strategy
Despite all the changes, the claim has remained the same for over a century: maximum precision for maximum performance. Whether honing, laser technology, stators for electric motors, measuring systems, tools, or automated manufacturing solutions – Gehring always develops technologies with an eye on their later use by the customer. The focus is on stable processes, reproducible quality, high productivity, and economical manufacturing.
With the integration into the family-owned Nagel Group at the end of 2020, the competencies of two traditional machine engineering companies have been further consolidated. Together, manufacturing solutions are now being created along the entire process chain – from technology development to process integration to turnkey production systems. The 100th anniversary thus stands not only for an extraordinary company history but above all for the continuous further development of a technology that has been shaping industrial precision manufacturing for a century.
