From 2002 to the present: constant growth

Italian roots, European vision

A shared vision that becomes a business

König Metall GT was founded in 2002 from the intuition and commitment of two long-standing professionals in the automotive sector: Otmar Zwiebelhofer, Owner and CEO of Koenig Metal GmbH, and Gino Sesto Timpani, a former manager and entrepreneur in the steel sector, now a partner and director of Koenig Metall GT.

Growth built on experience

The history of König Metall GT stems from the combination of industrial experience, technical expertise, and a shared vision of the future of mobility. Since its founding, the company has pursued a path of constant growth, strengthening its position in the production of steel components for the automotive sector and progressively expanding its technological and manufacturing capabilities.

Over the years, the company has consolidated its presence within an international industrial network, investing in innovation, automation, and process quality. The key milestones in this journey illustrate the evolution of König Metall GT: from the establishment of the Terni plant to the development of new partnerships and expansion into new mobility sectors.
