From the Black Forest to the whole world.

From our headquarters in Villingen-Schwenningen, we drive industries forward. What once began as a bold vision in a small workshop has evolved into GS Form- und Stanzteile GmbH; a renowned manufacturer of stamped parts, now operating as a highly specialized partner for global markets. As a third-generation family business, we value our roots while simultaneously looking far beyond the horizon.

Precision that makes the difference

Have you been in your car today? Then GS Form was most likely by your side. Our precisely fitting die-cut parts are invisible companions in almost every vehicle on German roads. Using modern rotary and flatbed die-cutting processes, we manufacture high-precision die-cut parts, adhesive die-cut parts, and insulation components from flexible materials. These precisely manufactured components are used not only in the automotive industry but also in medical technology and the electrical industry, where they form the basis for smooth processes and the highest product quality.

A legacy of courage and innovation.

It all began with a dream and the sound of metal in a small workshop. In 1957, Gerhard Schmid laid the foundation for what GS Form is today. It took courage to leave the safe path of metalworking and venture into the world of flexible materials. But it is precisely this pioneering spirit that drives us today, just as it did then. Starting with the first stamping machine in his parents' house, we have steadily developed into a modern industrial partner. Throughout this journey, we have remained a family business , proud of our roots and surpassing ourselves with each new generation.

1957
The beginnings
Gerhard Schmid founded the Fasson-Dreherei (a machine shop specializing in turning and molding) in his parents' house, thus fulfilling his dream of owning his own company.
1980
realignment
Gerhard Schmid focused on the production of flexible insulation for engine manufacturing and the production of adhesive stamped parts for model and type designations, and in 1980 founded GS Form- und Stanzteile GmbH. Despite the success of his business, he sold the turning shop he had been operating alongside it for some time, responding to high customer demand for precisely fitting stamped parts. The first products of his new company were flexible insulation for engine construction. His extensive expertise and creative flair enabled him to implement highly complex stamping solutions using rotary die-cutting. This opened up the large automotive market to the company.
1989
Expansion
In addition to the automotive industry, other sectors are being developed, such as the electrical and electronics industry, medical technology, and the furniture industry. The number of employees is steadily increasing. A new company building is being constructed and occupied.
1990
generational change
Bernhard Schmid joins the family business and strengthens the management as the second generation.
1996
Room for success
The company's success necessitated a significant factory expansion just a few years after the new building was constructed.
2014
Joint leadership
Founder Gerhard Schmid and his son Bernhard will henceforth lead the company as an experienced dual leadership.
2015
Innovation in focus
Targeted investments in state-of-the-art machinery will further expand the company's leading technological position.
2024
A life's work
After more than six decades of pioneering spirit, we bid farewell to company founder Gerhard Schmid. Management will remain within the family.
2025
Looking to the future
Sebastian and Felix Schmid take over the management and continue to run GS Form as a modern family business in the third generation.
