What Spaleck USA does

SPALECK GmbH & Co KG, trading in the United States as Spaleck USA, is a 155-year-old German family-owned mechanical engineering and contract manufacturer headquartered in Bocholt, Germany, with production sites in Greiz and Rhede, plus operations in Borne (Netherlands) and Resita (Romania), and sales representatives in the USA, China, Thailand and Italy. The company generates revenue across three interconnected business areas: (i) screening machines and conveyor/separation technology for recycling plants, food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, including Flip-Flow screens, Recycling Waste Screens, 3D COMBI screens, rod sizers, dewatering screens and mobile screening plants built around a 'ModularDESIGN+' configuration platform with patented modules such as Tension Shaft Cassette, AutoCLEAN, SmartSUSPENSION, LubricationCONTROL, FineSideCOVER and TwinSHAFT; (ii) industrial valves and dampers, materially expanded through the October 2025 acquisition of HMT Hebing Maschinen-Technik GmbH (re-formed as HMT Industries) for high-temperature process applications up to 1,150°C, serving cement, energy and environmental facilities; and (iii) contract manufacturing spanning metal processing (laser cutting, bending, robotic welding), precision parts (CNC turning/milling, large-part machining, 3D measurement) and surface finishing (tumble polishing, electroplating) for rail, medical and semiconductor customers. SPALECK also offers industrial water-treatment systems (RedBox electrocoagulation, membrane processes, sludge dewatering).

Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven: the company sells through direct enterprise sales engineers, quote-based project pricing tied to customer-specific machine configurations, a global trade-show calendar across Europe, Australia and the Americas, and aftermarket recurring revenue via spare parts, on-site service and the SPALECK CONNECT IoT monitoring platform. Customer concentration is diversified across recycling (Tekniska Verken Linköping, Recycling OWL), cement (Czech Republic plant), rail, food/pharma and OEM machinery builders, with no single end-market accounting for the bulk of disclosed revenue. Revenue mechanics are dominated by one-time capex-style equipment sales supplemented by service/parts and water-treatment project work; pricing is project-based and multi-year where customers run modernization programs. Family ownership and a 155-year operating history provide continuity, while recent moves (HMT acquisition, EcoVadis Gold, climate-neutrality-by-2030 commitment, ongoing ModularDESIGN+ platform rollout) signal a deliberate strategy of modular platform expansion and sustainability-led differentiation in European industrial markets.
