Otto Bihler Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG
German family-owned manufacturer of high-speed servo stamping, bending, welding, and assembly systems in Halblech, Bavaria, founded 1953.
Otto Bihler Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, commonly known as Bihler, is a German family-owned manufacturer of stamping, forming, welding, and automated assembly systems headquartered in Halblech, Bavaria. Founded in 1953 by Otto Bihler, who initially developed mechanical systems for spring and wire processing, the company has grown into a globally recognized supplier of integrated manufacturing solutions for the electrical, automotive, electronics, and general industrial sectors.
Bihler's breakthrough innovation was the RM 25 punching and bending machine, introduced in 1956, which arranged multiple forming units around a vertically oriented working surface—a configuration that became the foundation of Bihler's product philosophy. Today, the company's flagship machines include the RM-NC and GRM-NC servo-driven punching and bending systems, which Bihler describes as the fastest servo punching and bending machines in the world, capable of producing up to 300 precision stamped and formed parts per minute. These high-speed machines are complemented by LEANTOOL tooling systems, servo-driven assembly modules, laser welding units, thread-forming equipment, screw insertion systems, and integrated vision inspection.
Bihler Technology is the company's integrated manufacturing philosophy, combining stamping-forming with assembly operations including welding, feeding, sorting, inspection, cleaning, and packaging into a single, fully-automated production line from raw material to finished assembly. This approach eliminates intermediate logistics steps and is used by customers producing precision components such as connectors, contacts, springs, clips, sealing rings, and assembled sub-systems.
The company employs over 1,100 people globally, with headquarters at Lechbrucker Straße 15, 87642 Halblech, Bavaria. Revenue was reported at approximately €79.58 million in 2020/2021. Bihler maintains international subsidiaries including Bihler of America, and its machines are exported worldwide. The company is recognized for "Made in Germany" engineering quality and has received the German Innovation Award. Bihler is active on LinkedIn and YouTube and regularly participates in trade fairs including Stanztec.
