What Centramec does
Centramec is a privately held Swedish industrial supplier founded in 1978, headquartered in Älvsered with a secondary office in Bensheim, Germany. The company delivers custom-engineered material handling and transport systems for granules and powders, serving primarily the plastics industry with additional exposure to metals, chemicals, and food processing. Its offering spans vacuum and pressure conveying, dosing, drying, mixing, granulation, temperature control, filtration, silo storage, octabin and bag handling, conveyor belts, and PLC-based process controls, packaged as full project lifecycle services from feasibility study through design, construction, installation, commissioning, training, and aftermarket service.
The business operates on a multi-brand distribution and integration model. Centramec acts as exclusive Swedish distributor for Rapid Granulator (granulators, since January 2022) and resells complementary brands including MTF-Technik (conveyor belts with patented technology), Plastic Systems, Boe-Therm (temperature control), DMN-Westinghouse, Blauwer, Ergomec, Infastaub, Kubota Brabender Technologie, Somos, and TSM Control Systems. The company also develops and sells its own Cemec-branded custom products (containers, filters, silo solutions, octabin handling, dosing, pneumatic transport, vacuum conveyors, PLC controls) where standard supplier offerings are insufficient. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with multi-year service contracts supporting recurring aftermarket revenue.
Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with technical sales staff engaging customers from initial feasibility through commissioning and ongoing service. Marketing channels include a multilingual website (Swedish, German, English), LinkedIn, YouTube, a quarterly newsletter, and trade publications such as Plastforum. The company has 1-10 employees and is family/privately owned with no disclosed external institutional investors, parent company, or venture backing.
