About Friedrich Bergler GmbH
Friedrich Bergler GmbH Federn und Feinmechanik is a long-established company in Villingen-Schwenningen, founded in 1912 for the manufacture of hairsprings for mechanical clocks. Today the focus is on precision-mechanical contract manufacturing: machining (milling, drilling, grinding, turning) on CNC machining centres including 5-axis milling for single parts, prototypes and small series of up to around 1,000 pieces. The service portfolio also includes the manufacture of spiral springs, in particular hairsprings and bimetal coils for thermometers and thermostats, design services with partner engineering offices, fixture building as well as assembly of complete modules including coordination of all surface finishing. Customers come from mechanical engineering, precision mechanics and the thermostat and measuring instrument industry. The company has been in liquidation since 2025.
