In 2005 Lothar Wachholz, Edgar Schrade and Harald Späth founded CSP Cut Systems Pfronstetten GmbH to manufacture sheet metal parts for the construction machinery company Terex Schaeff in Langenburg.

After the corresponding sheet metal processing machines had already been procured, but the order did not come about as planned, other orders were looked for in the laser and edging contract manufacturing area instead. A large manufacturer of wood pellet systems was won over here after a short time. At the same time, CSP developed an in-house transport system for the automotive industry in the plant construction area, which was brought to market with great success.

In the following time, the sheet metal production area was expanded to include assembly production for mechanical engineering. In addition, various projects in the field of special machine construction were implemented from conception to sale. In order to meet the associated new requirements, CSP restructured accordingly internally.

New innovations
Due to the constant change in product requirements, the services, competencies and capacities of CSP have steadily expanded over time. In 2008, the intensification of the previously sluggish demand for transport systems for the automotive sector opened up new markets. The time was ripe for these products. In addition, thanks to the ongoing development of our in-house transport system - including automatic loading systems and storage options - more and more customers were enthusiastic about these solutions.

Since the existing space was no longer sufficient in the meantime, the production area was also enlarged by 1,000 m² in 2008 with the construction of a new production hall.

In addition, our contract manufacturing and special machine construction complement the growing intralogistics product area with numerous synergy effects. This results in new, practical solutions that have already won various innovation prizes.In addition, CSP itself was recognized as one of the 100 most innovative medium-sized companies in Germany at the “Top 100” award ceremony at the German SME Summit in 2014.

Other markets
Today, CSP is firmly established in the field of in-house transport systems on the European as well as on the international market: In the meantime, inquiries and orders have even come from the USA and Russia. Through active marketing and a product that speaks for itself, well-known global players have also been won as customers.

However, due to constantly new requirements as well as the simplification of the manufacturing processes at the customers, new developments and systems with an increased degree of automation are required. Against this background, the area of construction and development at CSP has been expanded further in recent years.
