Business thrives when the environment flourishes.
We emphasize environmental responsibility in all our business processes, from production to administration, supported by our environmental and energy management system. Already in product development, we focus on resource-saving solutions and offer to replace material- and energy-intensive turned and die-cast parts with more environmentally friendly deep-drawing solutions. Where possible, we direct waste to the recycling process and ensure the proper disposal of non-recyclable materials. We avoid waste, whether through overproduction, scrap, or unnecessary transportation and storage.
The use of environmentally harmful substances is minimized, and we handle them carefully. To avoid environmental impact, we assess existing and new activities, procedures, products, and services for their environmental friendliness. We also place great importance on our supply chains in this regard. There is no part of the operation that is not checked for its environmental impact. Our quality and environmental objectives are represented, pursued, and monitored by the management. The leadership style should serve as an example and provide assistance to employees in quality and environmental protection matters. These goals are achieved through a well-organized management system, as documented in the management manual.
Advanced Metalwork For Over 100 Years – The Company History
In 1914, the toolmaker Georg Oehlhorn and the merchant Sally Kahn founded the "Neue Metallwarenfabrik Bamberg – Oehlhorn & Kahn," which focused on the production and distribution of stamped, bent, and deep-drawn parts for the technical industry. Over the years, the company evolved:
1928: The commissioning of the first stage press marks a milestone for productivity.
1960: The expansion of construction and toolmaking enables the continuous development of deep-drawing technology.
1972: The use of stainless deep-drawing steels and increasing precision lead to the expansion into the automotive supply market.
1988: Expansion of the machinery allows for the production of significantly larger and more complex deep-drawn parts.
2003: The automotive supply industry becomes the second major pillar, with investments in a multi-stage forming press with higher press force.
2014: Rebranding to "OEKA" creates three separate market segments: OEKAtech, OEKAbeauty, and OEKAmed.
2015: GEKA GmbH acquires OEKA, integrating OEKAbeauty and OEKAmed into the structure, while OEKAtech continues as an independent entity named OEKA TECH Automotive GmbH.
2016: OEKA TECH Automotive GmbH is acquired by the Munich-based investment company RCP and continues as an independent entity, focusing on metal forming and deep-drawing technology.
2020: The company positions itself for the future by optimizing and developing thin-walled deep-drawn parts for applications in sensors and electric drives. This segment is expected to contribute significantly to future revenue.
2022: Bei der OEKA TECH stehen weiter die Zeichen auf Wachstum und zukunftsgerichtete Technologien. Wir investieren in einen modernen 200 to. Hochleistungsstanzautomat, unter anderem für den wachsenden Markt der Airbagfertigung.
2023: Wir erweitern unsere Fertigungstiefe durch den Kauf einer vollautomatischen Laserschweißanlage für Nirostabauteile. Darauf werden unter anderem Komponenten für das autonome Fahren verschweißt.
2024: OEKA stärkt den Bereich Non-Automotive durch die Aquisition eines Neukunden im Bereich Sicherheitsschließsysteme - bald gibt es mehr Infos hierzu!
