Anton Ohlert

What Anton Ohlert does

Anton Ohlert GmbH & Co. is a privately held German engineering and trading firm headquartered in Cologne, Germany, founded in 1870. The company operates as the official representative and integrator of European (and selectively Asian) industrial equipment manufacturers, distributing process equipment and delivering turnkey production facilities across five verticals: confectionery and food processing, packaging, meat and bone meal rendering, construction materials (reinforced concrete and autoclaved aerated concrete), and grain cooling. Its core competence is consortium orchestration of multi-vendor equipment lines into cohesive plant solutions, supported by financing programs arranged with European banks and leasing companies, and full after-sales service and spare parts supply.

The company maintains a regional office network spanning seven locations: Cologne (headquarters), Moscow (regional hub), and representative offices in Minsk, Kyiv, Vilnius, Almaty, and Tashkent, covering Russia, the CIS, Ukraine, the Baltic states, and Central Asia. It represents over 150 equipment manufacturers, including Sollich, Chocotech, Extrufood, WDS, Theegarten-Pactec, and Caotech in confectionery, ASTW in rendering, HaiTian and Yanzhu in construction, and Weisshaar in cooling. Revenue is generated through equipment supply, turnkey project implementation, financing intermediation, and service and spare parts. Pricing is project-based and individually quoted.

Anton Ohlert's go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by active participation in international exhibitions (IBA, Prodexpo, UpakExpo, AgroProdmash, Interpack, CTT Expo). Recent strategic activity has been focused on expanding the partner portfolio beyond traditional European OEMs to include Chinese, Thai, and Indian manufacturers, and on establishing a Russian subsidiary in 2024 to deepen representation arrangements. The company has 51-100 employees and does not publicly disclose revenue.
