About WITTENSTEIN

WITTENSTEIN SE is a family-owned German drive-technology group whose high-precision gearboxes and servo systems sit inside a large share of the world’s robots and automated machines. The company is known for the low-backlash planetary gearhead — a design it pioneered for servo applications — and today supplies complete electromechanical drive systems: planetary and right-angle gearboxes, servo actuators, rack-and-pinion linear systems, AC servo motors, frameless motors and software-defined "cybertronic" drives that combine mechanics, electronics and sensing in one unit. Specialist lines such as the Galaxie drive system target robot joints and machine tools where torsional rigidity and zero backlash decide performance, and subsidiary attocube systems adds nanopositioning for research and semiconductor work.

Founded in 1949 as a sewing-machine maker, the group moved into drive technology over the following decades and is still owned by the founding family as a non-listed SE, with around 2,900 employees at more than 40 sites worldwide and annual turnover above €500 million (company-stated). For robotics partners, WITTENSTEIN is a precision-motion supplier for joints, axes and end-effectors where accuracy, dynamics and compactness matter more than price — from industrial and medical robots to aerospace mechanisms.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	9 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	6 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.
