Sheet metal processing machinery with emerging digital control platform
Schröder Group manufactures precision sheet metal machines (bending, cutting, rolling, flanging) across two German facilities, serving both craft shops and automated industrial production. The tech stack reveals an active shift toward digital: they're building a web-based control UI with a design system (Angular, React, TypeScript, Figma, Adobe XD) alongside traditional embedded work (C, Structured Text), signaling a move into Industry 4.0 HMI. Manufacturing remains the dominant hiring area, but engineering roles are active, matching their focus on modernizing machine control.
Schröder Group is a 75-year-old public manufacturer of sheet metal processing machines, operating from headquarters in Wessobrunn, Bavaria, with a second facility in Wermelskirchen. The group consists of Hans Schröder Maschinenbau GmbH and SCHRÖDER-FASTI Technologie GmbH, the latter integrated in 2006 to expand product depth. With over 270 employees across domestic and international sites, the company serves a dual market: traditional trades requiring manual and semi-automatic tools, and large-scale industrial manufacturers needing high-speed automated systems. Core competencies span swivel-bending technology, guillotine shears, edge-folding machines, and bead-forming equipment. The company is actively pursuing cost reduction, supply chain optimization, and scrap minimization across manufacturing operations.
Primary tools: Microsoft Office, C, Structured Text for embedded systems. Front-end: Angular, React, Vue, TypeScript, HTML, CSS. Design: Figma, Adobe XD, Axure RP. Stack reflects both legacy industrial control (C) and modern web-UI development.
Current projects: web-based machine control UI, design system for Industry 4.0 HMI, sheet metal processing machine development, and medium/long-term procurement strategy. Cost efficiency, supply chain resilience, and scrap reduction are active operational priorities.
