You run a CNC shop in Ohio, Michigan, Texas, or California. 5 to 50 employees. Your Haas machines are hitting their limits on aerospace and medical work. You need German precision but your local DMG MORI dealer in Chicago quoted you a price that made you close the browser tab. You have heard of EMAG, GROB, and Chiron, but you cannot find their prices online and their websites are in German. This is exactly where I come in.
The German CNC Brands American Shop Owners Do Not Know
| Brand | Best For | Price vs DMG MORI | USA Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| EMAG | CNC lathes, gear cutting | 30-40% less | , Michigan office |
| GROB | 5-axis machining, automotive | 20-30% less | , Ohio office |
| Chiron | High-speed VMC, medical parts | 25-35% less | Agents only |
| HERMLE | 5-axis, high precision | 15-25% less | , Wisconsin office |
What a Job Shop Owner Pays vs What You Should Pay
A standard 5-axis machining center from DMG MORI in Chicago: USD 480,000. The same capability from GROB, sourced directly from the German factory: EUR 280,000 (approximately USD 305,000). You just saved USD 175,000. That pays for tooling, training, and six months of payroll.
How It Works
- You tell me: material, tolerances, annual volume. I speak machinist language.
- I send an RFQ in German to EMAG, GROB, Chiron, or HERMLE. With your exact specs.
- You get 3 quotes. Factory-direct pricing. Project discounts applied. You choose.
- Contract between you and the manufacturer. You pay them. My commission comes from them.
