About Us

About us – Gerhard Sondermann GmbH

For over 65 years, the Sondermann name has stood for technical expertise, reliability, and sustainable collaboration in the machinery and industrial sector.

The company was founded in 1960 by Gerhard Sondermann in Sauerland. It started with small machines for local carpentry shops. Early on, customer inquiries from the sawmill industry led to a specialization in sawmill technology and professional sharpening services, which still form a significant part of the technical orientation today. The sharpening service was spun off as a separate company in 2001.

With Markus Sondermann's takeover, the company was strategically further developed and consistently geared towards industrial applications. The focus has since been on modern, efficient, and technically sophisticated CNC technology for industry and trade.

In the course of this development, Gerhard Sondermann GmbH has evolved from a regional supplier to an internationally active trading partner. In particular, the area of used machinery and spare parts now represents a central component of the service portfolio and offers economical alternatives to new acquisitions.

The company offers a comprehensive range of services consisting of new machinery, used machinery, and machine spare parts. In addition, technical consulting and support for the selection, integration, and maintenance of components are provided.

Gerhard Sondermann GmbH stands for long-term and reliable cooperation with its customers. This is based on technical expertise, rapid availability of components, and a solution-oriented approach to technical requirements.

Company Philosophy

The activities of Gerhard Sondermann GmbH are not limited to pure trading. Rather, the company sees itself as a technical contact for industrial applications, especially in the areas of spare parts supply, maintenance, and optimization of existing systems.

The goal is to provide economical and sustainable solutions that enable customers to operate production facilities efficiently and reliably.

Gerhard Sondermann GmbH

For over 60 years, the name Sondermann has stood for technical expertise, reliability, and cooperative partnerships in the machine and industrial sectors. The company was founded in 1960 by Gerhard Sondermann in Sauerland. What began as a small family business with small machines for local carpentry shops rapidly evolved due to a customer inquiry from a neighboring sawmill: a close connection was forged with sawmill technology and the associated professional sharpening service, which remains a vital part of our expertise to this day.

With the company's acquisition by Markus Sondermann, the service portfolio was consistently expanded and oriented towards the future. Since then, the strategic focus has been on highly developed, efficient, and complex CNC technology – both for industrial use and for demanding craft businesses. Through continuous development, technical expertise, and a clear customer orientation, the company has successfully established itself in the market.

What once started as a regional company in Sauerland has now developed into an internationally active trading partner. Especially the growing market for used spare parts has further strengthened our role as a reliable supplier and increasingly opens up new opportunities worldwide.

Today, we combine tradition with innovation: proven craftsmanship expertise meets modern technology – always with the aim of offering our customers tailored solutions and long-term partnerships.

Our three product pillars

  • Machine spare parts

    In addition to new components, we also offer used spare parts. In many cases, these are a particularly sensible alternative: they are immediately available, significantly more cost-effective, and often come from proven machine series with a long remaining service life. Furthermore, used original parts are often more robust than today's reproductions and can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems.

  • Used machinery

    In our Used Machinery category, you will find carefully inspected woodworking and CNC machines from industry and trade. Each machine is technically inspected, function-tested, and repaired if necessary before being put back on sale. This way, you get reliable technology at economically attractive conditions.

  • New machines

    In our New Machinery category, you will find modern, high-performance machines for professional woodworking and CNC processing. We offer high-quality solutions for craft and industry, which impress with precision, efficiency and durable quality. As an official partner of SCM, Alberti, Omga, Dynawrap and many more, you receive innovative technology from leading manufacturers – including reliable service, spare parts supply and technical support from a single source.
