FEDDEM

What FEDDEM does

FEDDEM GmbH & Co. KG is a Sinzig, Germany-based manufacturer of co-rotating twin-screw extruders and compounding systems serving the plastics processing industry. Founded in 2009 as a spin-off of Decroupet Maschinenbau's extrusion and compounding lines division, the firm operates with 11–50 employees inside the Hamburg-headquartered Feddersen Group (K.D. Feddersen Holding GmbH) and inherits over 30 years of specialized expertise in twin-screw extruder design and construction. FEDDEM's "Made in Germany" production footprint is concentrated at its Sinzig headquarters in Rhineland-Palatinate, with manufacturing covering standardized laboratory units to fully customized turnkey plants.

The product portfolio centers on three pillars: (1) the FED MTS Series co-rotating, closely intermeshing twin-screw extruders available in laboratory (FED 18 MTS), pilot, and production (FED 52) configurations; (2) turnkey compounding and extrusion plants powered by ICX®-Technology (Innovative Compounding and Extrusion Technology), co-developed with sister company AKRO-PLASTIC and trademarked, enabling identical production conditions across all global customer sites; and (3) the FLF PT Series LFT-Pultrusion Lines (FLF 600 PT and FLF 300 PT) launched in 2022 for long fiber thermoplastic production, featuring a parallel extruder arrangement, patented modular impregnation tooling, and pull-off speeds up to 60 m/min. Complementary process technologies include the FEDDEM Automatic AirBlade for die-exit cleaning, the FSB-V Side Feeder, strand die heads, kneading-block-free screw configurations, and cleaning units for twin-screw extruders. LFT-Pultrusion systems expose key production parameters to higher-level manufacturing execution systems per Industry 4.0 conventions.

FEDDEM operates a hybrid GTM combining direct sales from Sinzig HQ with regional channel partnerships — Melchers Techexport plus its Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou offices for China, and Synergy Plaschem for Thailand — supporting turnkey plant delivery worldwide. Revenue is generated across four streams: one-time capital equipment sales (extruders, compounding plants, LFT-Pultrusion systems), recurring spare parts and wear parts (barrels, screw elements), technical service and support (on-site service, AR-enabled remote support via oculavis Share, maintenance packages, wear measurements, 24/7 emergency hotline), and process consulting at the in-house Technikum pilot plant. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2022 certifications audited by TÜV Rheinland under its FEDDEM Excellence integrated management system, originally established in 2012.

Direct peers

• Coperion (Hillenbrand): Coperion (formerly Werner & Pfleiderer, now part of Hillenbrand) is the leading global manufacturer of co-rotating and counter-rotating twin-screw extruders and complete compounding plants for plastics, chemicals, and food. The closest direct peer to FEDDEM across technology, customer base (plastic compounders), and turnkey compounding project delivery.
• Leistritz: Leistritz Extrusionstechnik is a German manufacturer of co-rotating twin-screw extruders and compounding systems for plastics, including laboratory and production-scale machines. Highly comparable technology, customer overlap, and 'Made in Germany' positioning make Leistritz a near-direct competitor to FEDDEM FED MTS series.
• Theysohn: Theysohn Kunststoffmaschinenbau (Austria/Germany) is a specialist manufacturer of co- and counter-rotating twin-screw extruders and compounding lines for technical plastics. Highly comparable twin-screw compounding focus, mid-sized European competitor overlapping directly with FEDDEM FED MTS.
• BUSS: BUSS is a Swiss-based specialist in kneader-extruders and compounding systems for plastics, chemicals, and masterbatch. The overlap with FEDDEM centers on high-torque compounding machinery for technical plastics and specialty polymer formulations, overlapping applications and customer base.

Emerging players

• Dr. Collin GmbH: Dr. Collin GmbH (Germany) supplies laboratory and pilot-scale polymer processing equipment, including compounding and film extrusion lines, partly overlapping FEDDEM's pilot-plant and laboratory extruder business.
• Xplore: Xplore (Netherlands) supplies small-scale twin-screw extruders and compounders for R&D and pilot applications, overlapping with FEDDEM's FED 18 MTS laboratory extruder offering. A niche/emerging player competing in laboratory-scale polymer compounding equipment.
• Steer Engineering: Steer Engineering is an Indian-based manufacturer of twin-screw extruders and compounding lines for plastics and food. Comparable product category with a developing presence in Asian markets where FEDDEM also distributes via Melchers — a relevant regional / emerging competitor.

Regional players

• JSW (Japan Steel Works — Plastics Machinery): The Japan Steel Works plastics-machinery business manufactures twin-screw extruders for compounding and is a major regional competitor in Asia. While based in Japan, JSW serves global compounding customers with comparable technology and is relevant as an Asia-based industry peer for FEDDEM.

Broad incumbents

• KraussMaffei: KraussMaffei (now part of INEOS) is a large established supplier of plastics and rubber processing machinery (extrusion, injection molding, reaction processing), competing with FEDDEM in compounding/extrusion but with a much broader machinery portfolio and far larger installed base.
• Thermo Scientific (Twin-Screw Extruders): Thermo Fisher Scientific's Materials & Structural Analysis division includes a Pharma twin-screw extruder product line serving laboratory and production-scale hot-melt extrusion. A broader incumbent with overlapping polymer-extrusion technology and pharma compounding customers.
