General information

Company profile	Dr. Ralf Dupont, the CEO of Levicron GmbH, founded the company in 2010 and yielded to his temptation of precision machining and high-speed spindle systems. Levicron is located in Kaiserslautern, Germany. With a worldwide product distribution and international representatives, we are the market-leading manufacturer and developer of industrial ultra-precision milling, grinding, & turning spindles, as well as ultra-precision tool holders. According to our slogan, “Ultra-precision meets industrial grade” our core business is developing, producing, and distributing non-contact motion systems. The calculation, simulation, optimization, and decades of experience in non-contact bearing systems distinguish us. In addition, tailor-made analytical and proven methods and simulation tools for structural analysis and fluid dynamics complement the profound practical experience in spindle development and production.
Products & Services	Together with a plant investment of several million euros, international customers, partners and representatives (especially in Asia and America), and service centers, Levicron is a leading global force in Ultra-Precision Spindle Solutions for CNC Machining. We offer the following product range: – Ultra-Precision Aerostatic CNC Tool Spindles – Ultra-Precision Work Holding Spindles – Ultra-Precision Tool Holding (Clamping Systems and Tool Holders) – Spindle and Dynamics Analyzer Systems – Accessoires and Packages
References and export activities	90% of our export activities target OEM businesses. The end-user products cover electronic, optics, & optoelectronic components for domestic, industrial, & military sectors. The export business includes technical & on-site support. Until 2020 the ratio between exports to America & Asia had been 40:60. This changed to 30:70 in 2021. * References under “Ideal Business Partners” at the end.
Target group	Main Target Group: CNC Machine OEMs for optical, electronic, and optoelectronic components and molds. Others: Prominent manufacturers of consumer, industrial and military optics (cell phones, infrared, reflectors) who make bespoke machining solutions for their own.
Competitive advantages	Levicron is the only company offering ultra-precision spindle solutions for industrial CNC machining and significantly higher robustness than other solutions with non-contact bearing systems. At the same time, our spindle solutions significantly outperform machining spindles with roller bearings concerning shaft errors in motion (Error-Motion, ISO230-7), speed, dynamic stability, and thermal stability.
Ideal Business Partners	For the future: same as the target group. * References: America: AMETEK, Precitech (US); Moore Nanotech Systems (US); DBM Reflex (CA); CUDO Forms (US) Asia: Yasda; Roku-Roku; Shibaura Machine; Makino; QuickJet Machine; FANUC; AAC; Largan; LeadingOptics Europe: Chiron; Röders Tec; Kern Mikrotechnik; Primacon; LT-Ultra; Schneider Optikmaschinen; Innolite; Optotech
