About GERG GmbH
GERG GmbH, headquartered in Hohenthann (Bavaria), is a model and mould maker as well as a manufacturing service provider with a high level of vertical integration. The company offers engineering services ranging from design through structural mechanics and fluid dynamics to process and manufacturing engineering. Manufacturing encompasses design model making, cubings, gauges, rapid prototyping, PU small-series production, aluminium precision casting, CNC milling and turning, laser welding, wire EDM and assembly. A key focus is composite manufacturing using prepreg autoclave technology, low-pressure RTM, vacuum press laminating, vacuum infusion, braiding with core insertion and wet laminating in CFRP and GFRP. The service portfolio is rounded off by surface technology, prototype construction and quality assurance with digital geometric inspection, 3D scanning and materials testing. Customers come primarily from the automotive industry, aerospace and medical technology, including Serva Transport Systems; the development partner is KLK Motorsport.

Quality Assurance
Quality assurance comprises digital geometric inspection using optical measuring methods and 3D scanning as well as materials testing to determine mechanical properties, both dynamic and static. Data security is ensured, among other things, through Odette transfer protocols and TISAX AL3.
