About Gravi-tec
Since 1997, Gravi-tec GmbH has manufactured custom and series-produced signs and markings, including for industry and mechanical engineering under the SchilderStyle brand. The portfolio includes machine signs, type plates, cable and system signs, information signs, company signs, signage systems and 3D letters. Production employs laser engraving (fibre laser, Nd:YAG, Mopa, UV, CO2), milling engraving, scratch engraving, laser cutting, CNC milling, UV printing, punching, bending, sandblasting, trowalizing, film plotting and 3D printing. Materials processed include stainless steel (1.4301, 1.4404), aluminium and Dibond, brass, copper, acrylic glass, plastic, Resopal, wood, leather, slate and carbon; engravings up to 600x600 mm with material weights up to 1 t. More than 2 million engravings are produced annually for mechanical engineering, plant construction, electrical engineering, photovoltaics and corporate signage. Since 2022 the company has operated from a new building in Delmenhorst near Bremen; in 2023 it was acquired by LaXon Germany GmbH.
