Generations instead of quarters
For a company to survive in the long term, it must operate sustainably. Thus, economic sustainability is a basic prerequisite for the two other pillars, ecology and social responsibility. Schmalz is and remains a family business. We have always thought in terms of generations instead of quarters and always look far into the future. To this end, we invest heavily in research and are constantly developing new ideas to stay one step ahead of the competition.
Economic sustainability in figures
Vacuum is full of possibilities
Whether vacuum suction pads, tube lifters or crane systems - Schmalz is one of the market leaders in automation with vacuum as well as for ergonomic handling systems.
We offer our customers countless innovative solutions in 15 industries. From the smallest printed circuit boards to the largest rotor blades for wind turbines, from lightweight packages to heavy metal sheets: vacuum can be used to reliably grip a wide variety of goods. The products are in demand all over the world: Schmalz's customers include small craft businesses as well as international automotive groups.
On the road in dynamic markets
Schmalz is correspondingly broadly positioned. Products for vacuum automation are just as much a part of the portfolio as lifting devices. Highly specialized solutions for different sectors, including industries with great growth potential: Thanks to this strategy, Schmalz operates independently of economic fluctuations. Even more: The company uses the dynamics of individual segments to further expand its position with innovative products and new business units.
Family business on course for growth
As a third-generation family business, we think and act sustainably and take responsibility: Through comprehensive and transparent standards in the supply chains, Schmalz ensures that its products are manufactured in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Schmalz also continuously invests in efficient production and logistics processes at its international locations. The idea of sustainability is rooted here: even when the company was founded in 1910, its machines were powered by water power.
Since its entry into vacuum technology in 1984, the growth curve of the family-owned company has only known one direction: upwards.
