What Dücker Group does
Dücker conveyor systems GmbH, operating as Dücker Group, is a family-owned German manufacturer of heavy-duty conveyor systems headquartered in Langenfeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, with a 175+ year operating history dating to 1848. The company designs, engineers, manufactures, installs, and services custom material-handling systems primarily for the corrugated-board industry, with secondary application in furniture retail logistics and wood processing. Its solution portfolio covers the full production chain: factory planning, outfeed corrugator systems, intermediate and finished goods warehouses, processing machine peripherals, finished goods and shipping area automation, and fully automated format and finishing lines / stretches. Dücker's proprietary ASCOR software provides the visualization and management layer for material flow and warehouse control across the installed base, with control logic implemented on Siemens S7 / TIA Portal PLCs and integrated with barcode / scanner tracking.
The business operates a direct enterprise field-sales model in which dedicated project managers handle the full project lifecycle — customer site visits, layout creation, installation scheduling, transport planning, commissioning, and ongoing service — with a worldwide service, spare parts, and hotline offering supporting the installed base. Revenue is generated from one-time capital sales of custom conveyor systems, aftermarket hardware / spare parts, and professional project-management services, all priced on a quote basis with no public disclosure of pricing or contract values. The company is privately held by the Dücker family, with no external investors, no disclosed subsidiaries, and no public revenue figures; management transitioned in January 2025 to a new CEO / Deputy CEO pair (Yannik Naumann and Björn Tiedemann) alongside several longstanding Managing Directors from the Dücker family and the professional management bench.
