About pro-beam

At the start, pro-beam operated two used electron beam machines and comprised just one employee. The goal was to use an electron beam in a vacuum to achieve highly precise welding results on various objects. Today, pro-beam has grown into a company with several hundred employees and many different application areas.

pro-beam has been offering a modern plasma process for the coating and finishing of surfaces since 1997. diadur® coating protects components and makes them more wear-resistant.

With this segment, the company entered the world of machine engineering.
In Neukirchen, pro-beam develops, produces and markets high performance electron beam welding machines as well as interlinked assembly lines for various industries.

pro-beam is the service provider and development partner for ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), one of the largest research projects worldwide. The fusion reactor with the same name has been designed to pave the way for a new, environmental-friendly, efficient, and safe energy source. 

In 2003, pro-beam opened a site in Burg near Magdeburg specializing in contract manufacturing. This is where components are processed and large-scale production takes place here. Thanks to our extensive expertise and an flexible infrastructure, components with a weight of a few grams up to 100 tons can be welded.

In 2005, pro-beam opened its first international subsidiary in Suzhou near Shanghai. This site covers contract manufacturing, machine engineering and service.

In 2016, pro-beam founded a second international subsidiary in the US. Striking proof that the company group is ready and able to take up a leading role in electron beam technology.

In 2018, pro-beam moved into the newly built company headquarters in Gilching. The new premises offer work space for a total of 120 employees with focus on Development and Innovation. The production and administration departments are located there as well.

In 2020, pro-beam moved its Neukirchen site to Stollberg. At the new location pro-beam continues to focus on machine engineering. With the new building, the company provides additional jobs and implemented an optimised hall concept with a larger production area.

Following intensive research and development work, pro-beam enters the market for additive manufacturing with its subsidiary pro-beam additive GmbH. In the future, the company's service portfolio will be expanded by wire deposition welding as well as electron beam melting within a powder bed.

For the first time, pro-beam presents systems for additive manufacturing: The wire-based WEBAM 100 machine for the production of large components with very good surface quality and the powder bed-based EBM 30S machine for printing small, detailed metal components.

The company relocated to two new locations in 2022: The highest skyscraper in Jiangsu Province, Suzhou International Finance Square (IFS) is now home to the sales office, including parts of the customer service. It is located in the Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) where many other companies from the semiconductor, automotive and aerospace industries are based.

pro-beam contract manufacturing moved from Suzhou to the Jin Tan District Hualuogeng high-tech industrial park in Changzhou. This ultra-modern industrial park focuses on the development of the latest information technologies as well as new e-cars. pro-beam has been occupied a newly constructed building with a total area of approximately 5,000 m².
