Mechanical Manufacturing at GLÖTZL GmbH

Ettlingenweier – the new production site for mechanical manufacturing at GLÖTZL.

Since January 2025, mechanical manufacturing parts have been produced at our new facility in Ettlingenweier, a district of Ettlingen. Final assembly continues to take place at our headquarters on Forlenweg in Rheinstetten. The close proximity of both locations ensures an efficient and rapid supply of components for final production.

Our new mechanical manufacturing facility spans 1,000 m² across two floors.

Upper Floor

• Work preparation & process control
• Development of mechanical components
• Central storage for mechanical components

CNC Production Line

With the investment in an additional state-of-the-art CNC lathe, we are preparing our production line for the future.

In addition to a process-optimized arrangement of individual CNC machines, the use of the latest IT technologies for production control ensures highly efficient workflows.

From the creation of manufacturing drawings to machine programming, the entire workflow is seamlessly networked and fully digitalized.

Single-Part Production

Small series, custom manufacturing, and custom made solutions

Central Warehouse

The storage of all components is fully digitized.

Transparency in inventory, fast part supply, and high-quality assurance define our warehouse management.

Finishing

The finishing of our mechanical components is carried out efficiently and quickly using specialized machines.

Measuring Equipment Inspection

To ensure the high manufacturing standard of our mechanical components, measuring equipment for quality assurance is inspected annually in accordance with the requirements of DIN ISO 9001:2015.

Industry 4.0 at GLÖTZL

CIM (Computer-Integrated Manufacturing)

We have aligned our production with Industry 4.0, focusing on the intelligent networking of machines and processes using specialized information and communication technologies.

Instead of traditional drawings, the NC programs for the parts to be produced are created directly based on the CAD data generated on the computer. Our CAM system (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) knows the optimal procedures and steps and automatically suggests them for the most efficient manufacturing process. Specifically, this means that the geometry data for the raw part, finished part, and clamping device is imported from the CAD system into the CAM system. The implementation of the CAM system is a key component of our computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM).
