1923 as a mechanical workshop
From the workbench vice to milling machine automation
GRESSEL AG was founded in 1923 as a mechanical workshop. In 1933, the first workbench vice was created and started a success story With the high-pressure tensioner launched in 1965, the company succeeded in gaining access to industrial production, and subsequently the medium-sized company repeatedly caused a sensation in the industry “in terms of tensioning technology”.

Our values. Our Master Vision.
We ensure continuity in our relationship with customers, suppliers and employees as an independent, autonomous family business.

All employeesand supervisors comply with the applicable legal regulations concerning occupational safety and health protection and assume personal responsibility for their own safety and that of others within the scope of their knowledge.

We promote the initiative and skills of all employees through the formulation of clear goals, delegation of responsibility and continuous training.
We develop products of high quality and sustainable benefit. We are growing in international markets by being recommended to others due to our above-average price/performance ratio and high readiness to deliver.
We invest the necessary resources to ensure a modern, efficient and environmentally friendly and safe state of production.
We are open, objectiveand tolerant. We respect and support each other.
our contribution to a more environmentally friendly future.
Sustainability as a holistic approach.
We set new standards in terms of quality, precision, functionality and innovation. This is possible thanks to continuous process optimization, state-of-the-art production facilities and 100 years of clamping technology know-how. Alongside trust, reliability and innovative strength, quality is one of the most important values of GRESSEL AG.
Energy from the sun: our photovoltaic system
We rely on the power of the sun! Our modern photovoltaic system covers a large part of our energy requirements with clean, renewable electricity. This not only reduces our CO2 footprint, but also creates a sustainable basis for our production.
Digital instead of printed:
Paper consumption minimized
Where we used to print, we now rely on digital processes. The deliberate avoidance of unnecessary paper consumption saves valuable resources and ensures that our work processes are more efficient and environmentally friendly.
Environmentally friendly packaging
Our products are supplied in environmentally friendly packaging. We use recyclable materials and minimize the use of plastic. Because for us, sustainability does not end at the production line, but extends into the hands of our customers. Plastic packaging from ROSE-Plastic is made from PCR plastics. PCR stands for Post-Consumer-Recycled – a plastic that is made from consumer waste. Other packaging is made of cardboard or wood.
Durable products for generations
Quality and durability are the cornerstones of our products. Our solutions are designed to last for several generations. This saves resources, reduces waste and protects the environment in the long term.
When expertise meets precision, products are created that meet all requirements. From the first to the last process step, our focus is on quality. This is the only way to create solutions that satisfy our customers.
And us too.
We produce the GRESSEL product range in-house. From single parts to complex clamping solutions. There are hardly any limits to the complexity of the tasks set. With a machine park that leaves nothing to be desired, even the most demanding products and solutions can be produced on schedule.
