Käfer

Manufacturer overview

Käfer was founded by Johannes Käfer in Schwenningen in 1932 as a mechanical workshop for dial indicators. Its headquarters and principal plant are now in Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany, at the location used since the company's early expansion. The manufacturer remains focused on precision indicating instruments.

The range includes dial indicators, dial test indicators, comparator gauges, thickness gauges and depth gauges, together with contact points and special instruments. Käfer describes substantial manufacturing capability in geared mechanisms and the production of customized contact points to customer drawings. That specialization distinguishes it from suppliers whose measuring portfolio is primarily rulers and calipers. For industrial buyers, the relevant expertise concerns translating small mechanical displacement into a readable measurement for inspection, comparison and controlled workshop checking.
