German forging giant KMS Gesenkschmiede puts Solingen hot forging plant up for sale

KMS Gesenkschmiede has decided to sell its plant in line with changes in the German and European forging industry and operational efficiency goals. The company is recognized as a reliable manufacturer supplying high-precision, complex-shaped forged parts to various sectors, from automotive to energy.

The facility has served global OEMs such as Audi and Volkswagen for many years. It houses four fully automatic SCHULER and two semi-automatic BECHE and LASCO forging lines. Additionally, it has over 200 supporting machines in forging, machining, and toolmaking. By combining automation with high precision, the plant produces first-class quality components.

KRUDO’s India Country Manager, Sivakumar Krishnaprasad, noted strong interest from manufacturers in India, Turkey, and other Asian countries to acquire the entire production facility. Krishnaprasad said, “This plant brings together the world’s most advanced hot forging machines and high-quality German engineering. All machines and equipment can be sold as a whole or in parts.”

All sales are planned to be completed in the first quarter of 2026, with machines to be removed from the site by the end of the year. This sale presents an important opportunity for companies aiming to increase production capacity and strengthen global competitiveness in the automotive, agriculture, defense, and energy sectors.

KRUDO will facilitate buyer matching and organize the entire process of relocating the German-engineered machines to their new locations.
