Others

• GEA Group: Global manufacturer of decanters, separators, and homogenizers used in dairy, food, beverage, and chemical processing, with a substantial aftermarket service business. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering both OEM centrifuges and authorized service across the same verticals Roemer serves.

Direct peers

• Centrico: North American specialist focused on Westfalia and similar centrifuge brands, providing rebuilds, parts, and field service to dairy, beverage, and industrial customers. Directly comparable as a competing independent centrifuge service specialist.
• Thomas Broadbent & Sons: Long-established UK-based manufacturer of industrial centrifuges (peeler, pusher, basket) with global aftermarket service. Comparable as a heritage centrifuge specialist whose installed base overlaps with Roemer's rebuild market.
• Western States Machine Company: Family-owned US manufacturer and rebuilder of industrial centrifuges (basket, peeler, pusher) for chemical, pharmaceutical, and food applications. Directly comparable as an independent specialist combining centrifuge manufacturing with rebuild/service in similar verticals.

Broad incumbents

• Flottweg SE: German manufacturer of decanter centrifuges, separators, and belt presses with a North American service presence. Comparable because Flottweg is one of the named brands Roemer services and offers competing OEM-authorized rebuild and field service.
• Tetra Pak: Major dairy and food processing equipment supplier that bundles separators/centrifuges with service contracts. Comparable because it sells and services separation equipment into the dairy and food segments Roemer supports, particularly meatpacking-adjacent processing.
• Andritz Group: Supplies separation equipment (including decanters) for food, chemical, and environmental industries and operates a global service organization. Comparable because it manufactures centrifuges Roemer repairs and competes for industrial separation aftermarket work.
• SPX FLOW: Industrial flow and processing equipment provider whose portfolio includes separation technologies used in food, dairy, and industrial markets. Comparable as a broad incumbent with overlapping centrifuge/separation service offerings in similar end markets.
• Alfa Laval: OEM of Alfa Laval centrifuges (one of the brands Roemer services) and a global industrial separation equipment supplier with its own aftermarket service network.
