The Metrology Specialists
GGW Gruber & Co GmbH is a dealer and service provider for dimensional metrology and testing technology based in Vienna, in existence since 1946. The portfolio comprises 3D coordinate measuring machines (bridge-type and gantry machines), contactless metrology with 3D scanners and multisensor systems, roughness, form and contour measuring devices, height gauges and measuring benches, hand-held and small measuring tools, as well as testing machines for materials testing. In addition to sales, GGW analyzes customers' measurement tasks, plans individual measurement solutions, and handles commissioning, transport, installation and training as well as recalibration, updates and maintenance on-site and remotely. The systems are sourced mainly from European manufacturers such as Wenzel, Jenoptik, OGP, Trimos, Sylvac and Hommel-Etamic. Customers include the metal and plastics processing industries, mechanical engineering, the automotive and aerospace sectors, and construction. The company is represented with headquarters in Vienna and Ajka (Hungary) as well as seven service locations in both countries.
