Automotive metal stamper and subassembly supplier with factory automation focus
König Metall is a German automotive supplier running production across stamping, machining, and assembly via industrial robots (KUKA, FANUC, Yaskawa) paired with Siemens PLC control and business intelligence (Power BI, LucaNet). The project portfolio—production optimization, logistics digitalization, lean transformation, KPI-driven process control—reflects a manufacturing operation in active transition from manual workflows toward quantified, automated operations, with hiring concentrated in production roles (entry-level interns and mid-level technicians) rather than engineering or sales.
König Metall has operated as a family-owned partnership since 1901, evolving from bee-keeping equipment into a global automotive component supplier headquartered in Gaggenau, Germany. The company manufactures metal parts and subassemblies for automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, employing 501–1,000 people across production, engineering, sales, and logistics functions. Current operational focus centers on production efficiency (lean 5S and Kaizen initiatives), lead-time and cost reduction, and digital transformation of logistics and quality control. Active hiring spans Germany and Croatia.
