Regionally rooted, technologically equipped.<\/h2><\/div>

Firmly rooted in southern Germany while open to international requirements: modern machinery, established processes and qualified employees form the foundation for reliable results.<\/p>\n

Clear structures, short decision paths and a hands-on working style enable efficient implementation \u2013 from individual projects to serial production.<\/p>\n

(The often-quoted idea of being \u201cover 50 years young\u201d is deliberately not used as a slogan, but reflected in mindset and working style<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Growing step by step since 1950.<\/h2><\/div>

The development of Hermann Gilbert is closely linked to the continuous expansion of technology, processes and know-how. Changes have always been driven by practical experience \u2013 based on real customer and application requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>

This is how we work in series production<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>
