What Steinhaus does

STEINHAUS GmbH is a privately held German industrial components manufacturer founded circa 1924 and headquartered in Mülheim an der Ruhr, with a production facility in Leverkusen. The company specializes in industrial screening, filtration, and conveyor-belt technology, producing siebböden (screen panels) in steel, rubber, and polyurethane; wire and plastic conveyor belts including rolled baking-oven belts (Z-belts) and braided wire belts; OPTIMA welded wedge wire screens and precision filter tubes with slot widths down to 6 µm; LuCoTec air-spring vibration-damping systems; and MULTOTEC process equipment such as cyclones, spiral concentrators, and solids pumps. Proprietary branded products include the MLock magnet-based self-centering polyurethane screen (EN 1009-4 compliant) and the CLEANBELT mechanical cleaning system for baking-oven belts.

The company generates revenue through B2B hardware sales across multiple verticals: mining and mineral processing, food and dairy (baking industry), chemicals and pharmaceuticals, steel and ore, water treatment, energy, agriculture, and architectural applications. Pricing is custom and quote-based; no public list pricing exists. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales from the German headquarters with a multi-tier distributor network (EURO SITEX in CEE, SIEBTECHNIK TEMA in Western Europe, plus regional sales reps) and participation in major industry trade shows (bauma, ACHEMA, iba, SOLIDS, FILTECH, EnergyDecentral). STEINHAUS operates as part of the privately held STAFAG Group, a diversified industrial conglomerate with approximately 3,500–3,700 employees across 60+ companies worldwide. The company holds ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 50001 certifications and is led by authorized representatives Viktor Kistner and Christian Steinhaus alongside Carsten Dietz, with no external funding rounds or public listing.

Broad incumbents

• Metso: Finnish-headquartered global leader in mining, aggregates, and metals processing equipment and wear parts. Operates far more broadly than Steinhaus, but is a broad incumbent competitor in screening media and process equipment that share the same mining and aggregates buyers.
• Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions: Division of Sandvik AB supplying crushing, screening, and drilling equipment to mining and infrastructure. Established global competitor that competes with Steinhaus in screens and process equipment as part of a much broader portfolio.

Direct peers

• Haver & Boecker: German family-owned manufacturer of wire cloth, woven and welded screens, and screening media for mining, aggregates, and chemicals. Overlaps directly with Steinhaus's Siebböden and OPTIMA wedge wire product lines and competes for the same European industrial screening buyers.
• Binder+Co: Austrian manufacturer specializing in screening, drying, and processing technology for bulk materials, recycling, and mining. Direct competitor to Steinhaus in industrial screening systems, particularly for European aggregates and recycling buyers.
• Multotec: South African supplier of mineral processing equipment including cyclones, spiral concentrators, and solids pumps. Already a strategic partner/distributed through Steinhaus and overlaps with MULTOTEC process equipment carried in Steinhaus's catalog, serving the same mining and quarry customers globally.
• Derrick Corporation: US manufacturer of industrial screening machines and polyurethane screen panels for mining, aggregates, and drilling fluids. Direct competitor to Steinhaus's polyurethane Siebböden and modular screen systems.
• Russell Finex: UK-headquartered manufacturer of industrial vibratory sieves, separators, and filtration equipment for food, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing. Direct overlap with Steinhaus's precision filtration and food/dairy segments, serving comparable hygienic-process buyers.
• W.S. Tyler: US-based screening solutions provider with wire cloth, test sieves, and vibrating screen equipment. Comparable to Steinhaus across wire cloth screening panels (REKORD/LONGVITA) and vibrating screen accessoriesthrough the same industrial base.
• Siebtechnik TEMA: German-headquartered manufacturer of screening, centrifuging, and processing equipment for mining and industry. Direct functional overlap with Steinhaus in industrial screens and mineral processing equipment, and listed in Steinhaus's data as an authorized distributor — making it the closest cross-functional peer.
• ROTEX (by Carter Day): Manufacturer of industrial screening separators and sifters for chemicals, food, and mineral applications. Direct competitor in industrial screening equipment sold into the same B2B process-industry purchasing base.
