What Tartler does

TARTLER GmbH is a privately held German industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1981 and headquartered in Michelstadt, specializing in customized low-pressure dosing, mixing, and filling systems for liquid and pasty synthetic resins including polyurethane, silicone, and epoxy. The company sells to enterprise customers across at least seven verticals — wind energy, aerospace, automotive, electrical engineering and microelectronics, boat and shipbuilding, model and mold making, and medical and orthopedic technology — with wind and aerospace as the most prominently served segments. Its product platform is organized around four modular dosing series (MDM, NODOPUR, NODOPOX, TARDOSIL) covering output ranges from 0.05 to 100 l/min, complemented by the patented TAVA vacuum clamping drum and TAVA F filling station, the T-EVAC vacuum degassing station, the LV 2/2 microdosing head, the LC-DCM dynamic cartridge mixer, and an extensive in-house range of mixing heads and disposable mixers. Process technology centers on air-free resin handling, with the TAVA system achieving -0.97 bar vacuum for drum changes without air introduction and the F.E.D. (Research, Development, Demonstration) Center in Michelstadt providing customer-specific process validation.

TARTLER generates revenue primarily through one-time sales of custom-configured capital equipment, supplemented by service and maintenance contracts (including 24/7 availability and spare parts), a rental and used-machines brokerage line, and consumables. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract cadences, reflecting the engineered-to-order nature of the systems. The company operates under the TARTLER GROUP umbrella, which includes wholly-owned subsidiaries ETP Walther GmbH (control cabinets and electrical systems), ZT Odenwald GmbH (precision metalworking), and SOMATA GmbH (special machinery), providing vertical integration into key bill-of-materials components. International go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales from Michelstadt with a partner network in the USA, Canada, UK, and Poland, and wholly-owned subsidiaries TARTLER (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd. (since 2021) and TARTLER India Pvt. Ltd. (since 2022) covering the Chinese and South Asian markets respectively. Leadership is held by co-managing directors Udo Tartler and Sandra Tartler-Herbst, with the firm remaining founder-controlled with no external investors identified.

Core offering

TARTLER GmbH designs and manufactures customized low-pressure dosing, mixing, filling, and application systems for liquid and pasty polyurethane, silicone, and epoxy resins. Its modular product platform spans compact (MDM), modular liquid (NODOPUR), modular pasty (NODOPOX, including NODOPOX wind for wind energy), and dual (TARDOSIL) dosing systems, supplemented by vacuum technology (TAVA F filling station, T-EVAC degassing station), precision microdosing (LV 2/2), and the LC-DCM dynamic cartridge mixer. All systems are configured to customer specifications using a proprietary intelligent modular architecture.

Product overview

TARTLER is a German manufacturer of dosing, mixing, and filling systems for synthetic resins (epoxy, polyurethane, and silicone). The product portfolio is organized as a modular platform architecture consisting of three main dosing system series (MDM for small volumes, NODOPUR for liquids, NODOPOX for pasty materials, and TARDOSIL for combined applications) complemented by vacuum technology equipment (TAVA F filling station, T-EVAC degassing station), precision microdosing systems (LV 2/2), cartridge mixers (LC-DCM), and a comprehensive range of mixing heads, disposable mixers, and modular accessories. The intelligent modular system allows standard solutions to be customized into individual systems, with modules for material degassing, heating, refill, vacuum drum changes, and flow rate control.
