With a history stretching back over more than 150 years, Oechsler is now a sought-after partner for pioneering plastics technology solutions. The company’s product portfolio ranges from precision single parts to complex modules and systems, for example for the automotive supplier industry and for sports shoe production, as well as other selected industries. The company develops, produces and assembles actuators, other mechatronic components and complex plastic bonding solutions.

Today, Oechsler generates around 70 per cent of its revenues from the automotive supply industry. One key product is the electronic parking brake, which combines mechanical and electronic components with injection-moulded plastic parts. Other typical products include housing components for remote control keys and headlight modules for the automotive industry.

In the area of high-tech sports shoe production, Oechsler combines its expertise in injection moulding and in automation. At the same time, the company is positioning its production facilities so that they are located in close proximity of its key sales markets. Oechsler’s product portfolio also comprises, for example, high-precision components for medical devices, as well as visors for firemen’s helmets.

The mainly family-owned business has achieved considerable growth, reporting average growth in consolidated revenues of around ten percent per year over the last four years. Oechsler maintains several production sites on three continents (Europe, Asia, North America).

Oechsler believes that there are further growth opportunities for its successful business model and will be expanding its German sites as well as global production in Eastern Europe, Asia and North America.
