Weinzierl Lager- und Fördertechnik

What Weinzierl Lager- und Fördertechnik does

Weinzierl Lager- und Fördertechnik GmbH is a German, family-owned manufacturer of storage and conveyor systems for grain, animal feed, and other bulk solids, headquartered in Wernberg-Köblitz, Bavaria. The company was established around 1990 (with the firm's own materials claiming more than 30 years of operating history) and is led by three managing directors from the Weinzierl family: Martin, Thomas, and Stephan Weinzierl. Its core offering spans round silos (SFX-Serie and Hochserie HS, reaching up to 31.98 m diameter and approximately 15,000 tonnes capacity per silo), rectangular silos, indoor and cone silos, the proprietary gT Getreidekühler grain cooler and Kalibrator-Reiniger 950 precision cleaner, as well as a full conveying technology line including bucket and chain elevators, trough chain conveyors, grain screws, and grain cannons. The feed-technology portfolio consists of the GFK-Silo MILLENIUM (glass-fiber reinforced polyester silos produced by a specialized Italian partner with 35+ years of experience and distributed by Weinzierl across Germany and Europe), KoSa polyester fabric silos, and spiral conveyors, plus an in-house Elektrotechnik & Rohrbau service covering PLC/SPS control cabinets, temperature measurement, and weighing systems that deliver silos "ready for connection."

The business operates a sales-led, project-based go-to-market targeting three verticals: agricultural operations (primary), trading houses, and industrial bulk-goods customers. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales, hardware sales of GFK silos and accessories (ventilation, discharge gates, control systems, custom painting), and professional services for consulting and planning; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with assembly labor billed at €42/hour per senior foreman and a €75 minimum-order surcharge specified in the AGB. Distribution is regional and direct, with full on-site assembly and commissioning, supplemented by a digital presence (website, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube) and a downloads/brochure library for inbound lead generation. Weinzierl employs approximately 20 people and serves customers primarily in Germany and broader Europe through this integrated storage-plus-conveying-plus-control turnkey model.
