First contact for over 30 years

G+S Werkzeugmaschinen consists of a well-coordinated team of experienced sales professionals. For 30 years we have been helping our customers to buy and sell new and used machine tools and the matching accessories from renowned manufacturers - worldwide and in every size: from small workshops to large companies.

The special thing about us is: You can have many machines demonstrated live and under power directly at our location in the CNC Outlet Center - and we can often deliver them to you at very short notice.

Everything from one source

In addition, we offer you a wide range of services around the CNC machine. Whether logistics, service, commissioning - with us you get everything from a single source. Meanwhile, 40 dedicated employees ensure that our customers receive the best service. And with growing success: With over 250 machines sold per year, G+S Werkzeugmaschinen is the first point of contact for new and used CNC machines throughout Germany and internationally.
