Lingenhöle Technologie, based in Feldkirch (Germany), manufactures components for the mechanical engineering industry. Since 2026, a new Heller milling and turning center has reduced turnaround times by 30 percent and increased productivity.

The flexible Heller circular storage system can store and process pallets measuring both 630 millimeters by 630 millimeters (24.8 by 24.8 inches) and 800 millimeters by 800 millimeters (31.5 by 31.5 inches)—even in mixed-mode operation. This makes the entire production line particularly flexible.(Image: Brighter)

How can contract manufacturing still be successful today in a high-wage European country? Lingenhöle Technologie has more than one fitting answer to that question. When asked about the secret to their success, Managing Director Klaus Lingenhöle says: “It’s not really a secret. Because all our customers know what sets us apart. We’re able to fully manufacture a wide variety of components and assemblies—including highly complex ones—and finish their surfaces in various ways. The entire process takes place right here in our company, meaning we’re a one-stop shop. As a result, we can respond incredibly flexibly and quickly whenever needed.”
