Gather Industrie

What Gather Industrie does

Gather Industrie GmbH is a privately held German manufacturer of precision fluid handling equipment, founded in 1965 and headquartered in Wülfrath. The company designs and produces magnetically coupled gear pumps, laboratory pumps, turbine pumps, centrifugal pumps, and centrifugal pumps with operating ranges from 20 ml to 4,000 l/hour at differential pressures up to 20 bar, alongside gear flow meters (ZDM series), quick disconnect couplings (DBG and Hansen Original series), and complete metering systems (Metering box 5000, Metering station GDS, modular rack designs). Its core technology is magnetic coupling that eliminates dynamic seals to prevent leakage in demanding non-lubricating liquid applications, supported by in-house manufacturing achieving geometric tolerances down to 5 µm. The company holds ATEX zone 1/2 certification for metering systems and ISO 9001 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, serving chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, medical technology, food, automotive, and energy/hydrogen production customers across more than 30 countries.

Gather Industrie operates a sales-led go-to-market model, with five regional sales managers covering Germany (Regions A–E) and an exclusive distributor network across Europe and Australia (including Suurmond, Christian Berner, Ital Control Meters, Dr. Friedrich Dieker, and MATRIX Process Solutions). Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of pumps, couplings, and metering systems, supplemented by individual engineering consulting including on-site support for component design, material selection, and seal selection. All products are manufactured and assembled in-house at the Wülfrath facility (Made in Germany). With approximately 50 employees, the company markets itself as a premium supplier to industrial OEMs and enterprise end-users requiring reliable handling of over 1,000 different non-lubricating liquids. Pricing is by quotation and not publicly disclosed. The company is managed by Dr.-Ing. Thomas Brendecke, Hildegard Gather, and Ulrich Stammel, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
