History
ORCA RESTORATION GmbH was founded in 2017 by graduate engineer (TH) Alfred Kist; Marco Edlmayer has also been Managing Director since 2023. The company is located in a district of the small town of Eberdingen near Stuttgart. Behind a neutral new building façade, treasures and treasures from the world of motorsport are restored, rebuilt and also serviced. The company combines old mechanical craftsmanship with today’s state-of-the-art technology. Optical measuring systems, such as an ‘Atos Triple scan’ from GOM GmbH – also used by most car manufacturers – and mechanical measuring devices enable the team at Orca Restoration to create a CAD drawing of old or defective parts for which there are no longer any design documents and to produce the required parts using a 3D printer or a 5-axis CNC machine. The ORCA specialists also have a steel precision levelling platform for the repair or new production of chassis and bodywork as well as a paint shop at their disposal.
Staff
Today, the ORCA RESTORATION team consists of the two managing directors Alfred Kist and Marco Edlmayer as well as five employees, plus external specialists for special tasks as required.
Our values
ORCA RESTORATION GmbH prides itself on ensuring the originality of the vehicles entrusted to us through preservation and restoration. The cars we restore are as close as possible to the original car when it rolled off the production line. Our expertise and know-how enable us to restore historic vehicles true to the original with precision and care.
We attach great importance to analysing each vehicle in detail in order to understand its individual history and character. We search worldwide for reference points to ensure that your car is restored to the highest quality and as true to the period as possible. Our team is made up of experienced professionals who not only have technical knowledge, but also a deep passion for automotive history. Utilising the latest technologies and techniques, we combine traditional craftsmanship with innovative approaches to ensure that each vehicle is restored to its original form and functionality.
In addition, we work closely with our customers to incorporate their wishes and ideas into the restoration process. We believe that every restoration is not only a technical challenge, but also a creative journey that allows us to preserve the soul of the vehicle while optimising its performance.
