What Dr. Schulze does
Dr. Schulze GmbH is a privately-held German manufacturer of diamond tools and construction machines, founded in 1984 in Wilnsdorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, and operating as a GmbH since 1986. The company produces core drilling machines, floor and wall saws, wire saws, joint cutters, and a full line of diamond consumables (drill bits, cutting discs, grinding plates, diamond wires) for the construction industry and natural stone processors. It employs well over 100 staff across five facilities — four in Germany (Wilnsdorf, Theessen, Celle, and a secondary Wilnsdorf site) and one in Meziměstí, Czech Republic — with the 20,000 m² Theessen plant serving as both a diamond tool manufacturing hub and the DRS-FLOOR Competence Center.
The company's flagship differentiator is the proprietary DRS-FLOOR® system, a complete concrete floor processing solution combining mechanical surface treatment (grinding, polishing, milling, shot blasting) with lithium-based chemical concrete hardeners and joint fillers, including exclusive European distribution of Metzger & McGuire repair products. The portfolio is rounded out by the newly launched DRS-UFF UltraFlatFloor system (May 2026) using LASER CAMEL laser-guided precision milling, plus custom machine engineering and customer-specific diamond tool manufacturing. The company is a founding member of oSa and an active member of FEPA, VDMA, VDS, FBS, and IACDS.
Revenue is generated through hardware sales across multiple product categories (machines, diamond tools, DRS-FLOOR chemical products, custom builds) distributed primarily through a worldwide dealer network of over 30 agencies spanning 40+ countries, with exports exceeding 60% of total business. Pricing is quote-based on published price lists (most recently updated March 2026), with a two-day DRS-FLOOR CAMP training seminar offered at €1,500 per person. Customers are B2B enterprises including concrete drilling and sawing contractors, natural stone processors, and concrete floor contractors serving industrial and commercial facilities.
