About Gebrema
Three generations. One craft.
Family-owned since 1950, today in Weesp (Amsterdam). We don't just take your order. We take care of your production.
Gebrema was founded in Amsterdam in 1950. For more than 75 years, one thing has not changed: the machines run day and night, and a part produced on Monday morning is identical to Friday's. We are not a job shop nor a spot supplier. We are a long-term manufacturing partner. Some of our customer relationships are older than the people who now manage them.
Founded in Amsterdam on 1 December 1950, today in Weesp, and run by the family's third generation.
Production certainty is the product.
We make precision turned components from brass and steel. High volumes. Consistent tolerances. Sustained over years. We are a contract manufacturer; we do not own the product design. We produce your parts on our machines, at your set tolerance levels.
Other suppliers sell you parts. Gebrema sells you production certainty. Behind every partnership is dedicated production capacity reserved exclusively for you. You don't compete for machine time. You have it. The result is a reliable supply of identical parts, delivered with consistency, year after year.
Process mastery you can't buy off the shelf.
Our machines started life as conventional rotary transfer machines, German-built Rundtaktmaschinen. Decades of in-house upgrades have transformed them into how they run today. It is a proprietary level of process mastery that cannot be replicated quickly.
Most precision turned parts manufacturers require constant operator attention to hold quality. Our in-house process innovation removes that dependency. A single shift in a 24-hour production cycle means 16 hours of unmanned production. Production stability is built into the process, not the operator.
Alongside the 80 MAG-EUBAMA S8 rotary transfer machines, we operate CNC bar machines. Not as a separate business, but as a service extension for existing customers who need smaller quantities or dimensions outside the S8 range. One supplier for your full range.
A natural match for businesses that think in decades.
Several of our most significant, long-standing customers are themselves family-owned businesses, some with 50 to 100 year histories. Family firms share a common psychology: they think in decades, they value stability over disruption, they prioritise relationships over transactions, and they are deeply sceptical of suppliers who over-promise.

The film
The factory that runs day and night.
A family subcontractor since 1950, turning parts for electrofusion, PCB, automotive and electronics, to name but a few, on 80 rotary transfer machines that run 24 hours a day, even when there is no one on site.
Family-owned since 1950

Faster production.
Optimised parts run at full machine speed from the first run. A small adjustment to a radius, a thread relief or a tolerance range can make the difference between a part that runs unsupervised and one that requires constant operator intervention.
Higher level of consistency.
Components designed specifically for this production process deliver predictable quality across millions of parts. The result is fewer variations, lower rejection rates and, ultimately, no surprises when it comes to delivery.
Lower unit cost.
Throughput improvement translates directly into unit economics. No functional compromise: your requirements are the constraint, not an afterthought. We make your design run better, not differently.
