Learn About Hilgenberg Ceramics
With in-house additive manufacturing, 5-axis milling and grinding, we deliver fast and precise solutions for small and medium production runs. Our transatlatic presence combines engineering expertise in the USA with state-of-the-art production in Germany.
Engineered in the USA - Manufactured in Germany
At Hilgenberg Ceramics, engineering is not an add-on — it’s the backbone of everything we do. Our customers rarely come to us with finished designs ready for manufacturing. Instead, they come with challenges: functional demands, harsh environments, or legacy components that need rethinking. Our role is to translate those challenges into manufacturable, cost-effective, and long-lasting ceramic solutions.
That’s why we invest heavily in design consultation, process validation, and technical feasibility assessments. In many cases, we co-develop complex ceramic-to-metal assemblies, advise on design-for-ceramic tolerances, and help customers avoid costly iterations. We are not just ceramic part producers — we are problem solvers.
