Our Story
The NBG Group is an independent, family-run company founded and operated by the Bauer family in Gmünd, Austria.
For more than 25 years, we’ve pioneered innovation in fiber optic technology. We deliver custom cables that perform in any environment, from the telecom industry to the high-temperature and testing oil & gas industry, and from fiber optic sensor technology to home solutions and installations.
The group has over 220 employees with headquarters in Austria and subsidiaries in the Czech Republic, United States, and Germany. An international network of partners enables the group to distribute efficiently worldwide.
Although we’ve grown, we retain our independent nature, and we’re proud of our speed, agility, and innovation.

Our Mission
To connect the world with our high-quality, state-of-the-art fiber optic products and transfer intelligence to critical areas.
NBG Holding GmbH
NBG Holding GmbH, established in 1996, is the bedrock of the NBG Group and serves as the foundation for the subsidiaries. As an actively managed holding company, it offers its subsidiaries support and a wide range of services, such as human resource management, quality management, IT management, supply chain management, finance management, and marketing.
NBG FIBER GmbH
NBG FIBER was founded in 2018 to become the first independent manufacturer for optical single-mode preforms in Europe. NBG built the world’s most modern preform plant in Gmünd, Lower Austria. The project marked the first investment in 20 years in this field and the only one in Europe for the technology. As a non-competitive partner, NBG allows existing cable customers to integrate European fibers into their cables.
NBG SYSTEMS GmbH
NBG SYSTEMS, founded in 2009, is the hub for international customer requests, for which we have a dedicated sales team to discuss potential solutions with the customers. NBG SYSTEMS also hosts our fiber optic sensor technology, which offers multiple possibilities for integration into other applications. In 2020, NBG SYSTEMS opened its first sales office in the USA with NBG Corp. The Houston office supplies the global Oil & Gas market with FIMTs (Fiber In Metal Tubes) from NBG.
NBG TUBE GmbH
NBG TUBE is the driving force of the NBG Group. Fiber in Metal Tube (FIMT) is the all-important protective element for optical fiber. The durable metal tube shields the optical fiber from external influences, including temperature, pressure, and stress. FIMT is particularly relevant in heavy industries, such as Oil & Gas, but NBG TUBE has earned a reputation for delivering custom FIMTs to solve demanding challenges across various industries.
NBG Flexkom GmbH
Established in 2010, NBG Flexkom offers services in fiber optic cable installation. These services include the connection of optical fibers to buildings, Fiber to the Home (FTTH) or other structures, Fiber to the X (FTTX), and optical fiber networks in the WAN or MAN area. The procedure for the fixed connection of optical fiber is called splicing, which is a core competency of NBG Flexkom, along with injection technology and measurement technology. Today, the FlexKom GmbH team is mainly on the road in Austria and Germany.
NBG Home GmbH
Since 2018, NBG Home has supported the implementation of fiber optic infrastructures, including the planning of customer-oriented solutions and the trade of components for fiber optic networks. In 2019, the fiber optic division was taken over from EATON and successfully integrated into the NBG Group. The integration extended NBG’s fiber-optic network technology range to include passive connectivity products.
NBG DIMENSIONS
NBG Dimensions was taken over by the NBG Group in 2019, five years after Bernstein Innovation GmbH launched it in 2014, and it is now part of NBG TUBE GmbH. The company engages in 3D printing using the SLS process, where selective laser sintering creates physical objects from plastic powder, layer by layer. Also, fiber optic sensors help design and develop data-generating objects.
Safibra s.r.o.
Founded in Prague in 2010, the academic team of Safibra is engaged in the development of hardware for fiber optic sensor technology. Safibra products are used in various projects of the NBG Group and range from state-of-the-art sensors to analysis units.
kubator GmbH
kubator was established in 2014 to offer innovative personalities a platform to develop business ideas. In addition to supporting start-up sector projects, kubator provides services in marketing and design as the official marketing department of the NBG Group. The agency is based on-site in the red cubic building as a co-working space.
