GMBH
This promise has been kept since OESTERLE® was founded in 2004 by Dipl.
Ing. Hermann Oesterle, with the support of his wife Mrs. Brigitte Oesterle.
The focus at that time was in the area of MIM and investment casting. Over
the past years, business relationships have been successfully established
and expanded across Asia and Europe.
Today OESTERLE
®
is one authorized strategic supplier of many worldwide
global industrial companies.
Our strengths are constant process development and the best implemen-
tation of highest requirements - for safe, highly economical and future-
oriented parts made of metal and plastic.
We want your products
to get better.
And cheaper. And faster. And more profitable. And more environmentally friendly.

For a partnership at eye level.
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is based on the principle of injection molding,
which is the undisputed number one in the series production of plastic com-
ponents. MIM combines the advantages of injection molding with the material
properties of metals.
By mixing metal powder with a plastic binder, the advantages of the injection
process can also be used for metal components. The binder wets the metal
powder particles and enables shaping. The binder is subsequently removed
and the metal powder is sintered in a vacuum furnace below the melting tem-
perature, thereby shrinking to its final size and achieving its high strength and
resilience, which are largely comparable to the solid metal material.
Due to the use of different metal powders, there are nearly no restrictions in
the choice of alloy. Assemblies can often be combined into one part.
MIM is the right choice for complex, efficient, fast, environmentally friendly and
accurate parts with high surface quality.

Sintering
Sintering as a manufacturing process for metallic components is the right
choice for workpieces with special geometries, such as compact gear wheels,
pinions, bearings or housings, which can be produced ready for installation
(also with heat treatment).
Sintering allows shaping without heating the material. The metal powder is
pressed into green compacts in matrices at different pressures and sintered in
a further step at temperatures just below the melting point. The powder partic-
les melt together at their contact surfaces and the workpiece gets its dimension
and design. Due to a final calibration impact, the workpieces have a very high
level of dimensional accuracy.
The process is therefore an effective, environmentally friendly and economical
process, especially for large quantities.

CNC processing
The requirements for components vary greatly depending on the
respective fields of application and specific tasks. In most cases, a
high degree of tolerance accuracy, attention to detail and surface
quality is required, but often only in certain (functional) areas of the
component. For these cases, we offer a wide range of post machin-
ing processes, also for special requirements, and can process the
components precisely. You get the perfect symbiosis of achievable
precision and maximum economy.
Heat treatment
Subsequent heat treatment can be used to adjust the technological
properties of materials.
The component to be treated passes through various controlled
temperatures at different times (temperature-time profile) and is
then cooled at different rates in certain media, depending on the
material and process.

Surface finishing
We have many technical processes at our disposal to refine the
component surfaces, which can improve the surface properties.
Both the functional properties of the component can be impro-ved
(e.g., higher wear and tear protection, corrosion protection,
prevention of contamination) and the decorative properties (e.g.,
through colour changes, gloss levels or similar). Our portfolio ran-
ges from treatments such as pickling, blasting or impregnation,
galvanizing, nickel plating, powder coating, CDP coating, laser
marking to hard material coatings (physical vapor deposition, etc.).
Assembly
Numerous manufacturers use ready-to-install assemblies and pro-
ducts. Outsourcing has a multitude of advantages for companies.
Economic assembly production relieves the customer‘s resources.
The products are manufactured individually for the customer accor-
ding to specific specifications.
Partial quantities are also possible.
This service is also part of our portfolio and is already being used by
many our customers, for example in the automotive industry.
