What REINARTZ does
Maschinenfabrik Reinartz GmbH & Co. KG is a German industrial machinery manufacturer specializing in screw press and mechanical separation technology for cold-pressing applications. Founded in 1853 by locksmith Mathias Reinartz in Neuss, the company has operated continuously from its Industriestrasse site in Neuss am Rhein and is structured as a GmbH & Co. KG. Since May 2025 it has operated as part of the KAHL Gruppe while retaining its independent brand and Neuss operations. The company employs approximately 50 staff across production, administration, and sales, and serves customers in Europe, Asia, Africa, Canada, and South America.
The company's core products are screw presses and filtration systems spanning the AP series (AP 08 to AP 25, with rapeseed processing capacities from 40 kg/h to 1,800 kg/h), TP-series insect processing presses (TP 04 to TP 90), MST mechanical screw dryers (MST 04 to MST 150), the CompacTropha® mobile container press for jatropha, and winterisation/filtration units for cold-pressed oils. Differentiated technology features include extremely low-frictional-heat cold pressing that preserves vitamins and flavors, low-temperature press cake processing for protein retention, mechanical drying of biomass, and Service 4.0 IP-camera remote monitoring. Applications cover cold-pressed vegetable oils for food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, plant proteins (rapeseed, sunflower, soy press cake), insect proteins from Black Soldier Fly and mealworm larvae (over 62% protein content in output), and biomass dewatering for pelletization and energy.
REINARTZ generates revenue primarily through project-based hardware sales of custom-engineered screw press and filtration systems, complemented by professional engineering services (consulting, basic and detailed engineering, trial pressing at the Neuss facility), original spare parts supply, plant rental (minimum three-month terms, AP 08 to AP 15 models), hire purchase options, and contract metalworking services. GTM is enterprise field sales with direct engineering consultation and trial pressing for customer qualification. Customer segments include the food and feed industry, alternative protein producers, cosmetics and pharmaceutical buyers of high-quality oils, and industrial operators needing digital monitoring; named enterprise customers include Hermetia, nextProtein, Florafuel, and Pirahy Alimentos. Pricing is opaque and quotation-based; the company supplements sales with a multi-language website, social media, industry events (Insecta, Proteina), and trade press features.
