At two facilities with total more than 13.000 m² of production and storage ground a staff of approx. 55 employees develops and manufactures shredders, textile and packaging machines plus presses, which are distributed worldwide.

A very high level of vertical integration with high precision turning lathes, milling machines, machining centers, grinding and honing machines, sheet steel cutting and bending equipment, paint shop and construction / programming of control systems provide for fast reactions in production and development of series and custom-built machines.

A considerable stock of raw materials, mechanical and electrical components and geared drives enables a flexible production of made-to-order machines and fast supply of spare parts, independent from availability on the market.

Development projects with e.g. the DITF (German Institute for Textile and Fiber Research) and leading pharmaceutical companies are a proof of expertise and ensure to maintain cutting edge technology.
