Engelsmann - industrial equipment supplier for bulk materials handling

1873 - 1900

Founder Johann "Jean" Engelsmann (1847-1916) came from Bad Kreuznach to Ludwigshafen with his wife Philippine. They take over the millstone factory L. Klein and start with a handful of employees. Sons and grandsons of the Engelsmann family gradually join the business.

Thinking in generations

Engelsmann initially continues to manufacture and sell millstones. Gradually, further equipment for grain milling and accessories are added.

1900 - 1910

Engelsmann millstones are in demand! In 1904, the trademark "J. Engelsmann - Rhenania" is registered and protected as a trademark for quality millstones.

Engelsmann stands for quality - and always has.

Jean Engelsmann and his employees are always working on new products. Inventive spirit and imagination - then as now. In addition to grinding machines, automatic mixing machines for flours, bran, colours or chemicals are produced.

1910 - 1940

The factory has become too small. Engelsmann moves to its current headquarter in Frankenthaler Straße and becomes a stock corporation.

Millstones are increasingly replaced by grinding machines. Engelsmann reacts by developing new products: The first mixing machine is patented and a test screening machine for analysing grain mixtures is launched.

1940 - 1970

The almost complete destruction of the company buildings in the Second World War is followed by reconstruction and further development of the business. The era of millstones is finally over and Engelsmann prepares for the age of plastics.

Engelsmann thinks ahead.

Now plants are built on a larger scale and the focus is on greater precision. Laboratory equipment and mixing machines are developed. At the beginning of the 60's, the company adds drum hoop mixers as well as screening and sorting machines.

1970 - 1990

In the 1970s, the production program, including laboratory technology, expanded steadily. Equipment for screening analyses, laboratory mixers, machines for determining the volume and opacity of colour pigments are developed.

Engelsmann's world of bulk solids is colourful and diverse.

At the beginning of the 1980s, screening machines make up the largest share of Engelsmann's single machine production. The first modular vibration screening machine is launched on the market.

Multi-surface screening machines are supplied to the world from Ludwigshafen.

1990 - today

Engelsmann enters the plant construction sector and, in addition to the chemical industry, opens up other markets such as the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Today, Engelsmann equipment is used wherever quality, productivity and reliability are required. This includes, above all, production plants in which products have to be processed under the strictest hygiene regulations or even containment conditions.
