Company

ERCHINGER AG is a true Tuttlingen veteran company. Founded more than 70 years ago as a family business, we are now a company of the Swiss WISTAMA AG. This gives us a broad network with access to the latest technologies.

Our core of around 30 employees are regularly trained and highly qualified. Experienced technicians, CNC specialists and surgical mechanics are the basis for a guaranteed top-notch quality which earned us domestic and international recognition and appreciation.

Due to our lean hierarchy, we are flexible and responsive. Our appreciative cooperation ensures high motivation and willingness to perform in the entire team.

We realize and manufacture instruments for our customers in the fields of spine, proctology, and surgery. Our spectrum ranges from the technical implementation of standard instruments to highly complex, customer-specific solutions.
