Global supply chains are reaching their limits.
Long transport routes with dependencies, rising import costs (CBAM), CO₂ levies, supply chain due diligence requirements, and insufficient quality documentation are causing delays and uncertainty. Standard products are becoming bottlenecks — directly impacting purchasing, production, and availability.
Long Delivery Times
Delivery times of 18 to 24 weeks for imported goods are not uncommon — and in times of global crises, supply chains become especially fragile. Delayed container shipments, complex customs procedures, and the threat of punitive tariffs lead to a lack of planning reliability and can slow down production processes. Often, these can only be compensated by maintaining large and costly safety stocks — even for components that should actually be readily available.
Unreliable Supply Chains
Rising CO₂ levies, CBAM taxes, and geopolitical tensions have a direct impact on procurement and delivery capability. Companies dependent on distant suppliers risk delays and additional costs that are difficult to predict. Diversifying suppliers and maintaining large or expensive inventory and safety stocks lead to increased complexity and effort.

Lack of Transparency
Requesting quality documentation and factory inspection reports for purchased batches is often time-consuming and challenging for companies — especially when verifying their accuracy. As a result, quality control becomes more difficult or cannot be carried out properly, sometimes leading to product rejections and costly re-production.

Blind Rivets Made in Germany
The advantages of a reliable partner in Germany — one who relies on German and European wire suppliers, raw materials, tool manufacturing, and local coating companies — significantly reduce the risks of global dependencies, long delivery times, new import duties, or even violations of supply chain due diligence requirements. Time, risk, and trust can all be managed with confidence.

Partner Companies in Germany:
Working with German wire drawing plants using German or European wire origins — each with full certification — combined with batch-specific production at Goebel and in-house quality testing for every production batch, ensures complete quality traceability. On our process-monitored production machines in Erkrath, we manufacture blind rivets under strict supervision, allowing us to intervene at any time during production and guarantee consistently high quality. With optical sorting systems at our Erkrath facility, we can also meet special customer requirements, sorting blind rivets beyond standard quality specifications. For every delivery, customers have the option to digitally download batch-specific factory certificates, test reports, and technical drawings via a QR code.

Our Understanding of Sustainability:
We stand for stable prices and maximum transparency throughout the entire supply chain. Through clear processes and open communication, we build trust, predictability, and long-term partnerships — from procurement to delivery.
Sustainability begins with the careful planning of our supply chains. By strategically reducing transport distances, we lower energy consumption and minimize CO₂ emissions — ensuring resource-efficient and responsible value creation. Long transport routes from overseas, involving large container ships, are eliminated thanks to our blind rivet production based entirely in Germany.
In addition, we have invested in state-of-the-art photovoltaic technology at our Erkrath facility. With more than 1,000 solar panels, we actively contribute to reducing our CO₂ footprint every day. Our company fleet is also powered via renewable energy from our own system, supplied through four on-site charging stations.

Our Value Chain
Made in Germany
Raw Materials & Wire Drawing
The value creation process begins with high-grade wire sourced from certified wire drawing plants, which exclusively use German or European steel. In our partner facilities, the wire is drawn to the exact diameter required for rivet production. This high-quality wire is directly reflected in the superior quality of our Blind Rivets Made in Germany.
Cold Forming for Blind Rivets
The drawn wire is cold-formed in our presses into bodies and mandrels, which later combine to create the finished blind rivets. On double-stroke, multi-stage, and mandrel presses, millions of semi-finished parts are produced daily at our Erkrath facility. These process-monitored presses are an integral part of our Smart Blue Factory concept.
Surface Finishing & Coating
After forming, the bodies undergo an annealing process at our Erkrath facility to relieve the stress caused by cold forming. Depending on the required specifications, bodies and mandrels are then surface-finished — polished, electroplated, anodized, painted, or specially coated — either in-house or by certified local partner companies. These processes provide corrosion protection, improve processing performance, and ensure a consistent, high-quality appearance.
Assembly, Inspection & Packaging
During the assembly process, bodies and mandrels are combined, tested, and optically sorted. Each batch is then inspected in our in-house laboratory and labeled with a QR code documenting its origin, test report, and production time. This ensures 100% traceability for every delivery — a key advantage of Goebel’s commitment to quality.
Logistics & Supply
The finished blind rivets are automatically packaged and labeled using fully automated systems before being transferred to our large warehouse in Erkrath. From there, we ensure short transport routes, precise planning, and reliable delivery times, guaranteeing availability — whether for standard products or customized solutions.
