What Schenck Process India does

Schenck Process India, operating under the recently rebranded Qlar brand, is the India-based subsidiary of Qlar Europe GmbH, a German-headquartered industrial engineering group with origins dating to 1881. The company manufactures and services equipment for industrial bulk material processing across five core technology areas: weighing (static and dynamic scales, mass flow meters, load cells), feeding (gravimetric and volumetric feeders), conveying (pneumatic and mechanical systems, airlocks, valves, chutes), milling and grinding, and air filtration. Layered atop this hardware portfolio are digital offerings including CONiQ Control (smart process automation), LOGiQ (software automation platform), and Qlar Test Bench / Train Monitoring (condition monitoring solutions).

The company serves six primary verticals: chemicals (batteries, catalysts, fertilizers, home and personal care, coatings, adhesives), performance materials (polyolefins, masterbatch, bioplastics, film, recycling), infrastructure (cement, steelmaking, yard logistics and rail), energy (coal/coke-fired and biomass-fired power plants), food processing, and circular economy (alternative fuels, chemical recycling). Revenue is generated through four streams: one-time industrial equipment sales, hardware sales of spare parts through the Qlar Online Shop, professional services (installation, maintenance, consulting, training, testing), and recurring digital solutions/subscription software.

The company employs 10,000+ globally, maintains a 24/7 service hotline, and distributes through direct enterprise sales, an e-commerce platform for components, and a global service network. The group has historically grown through acquisition, having absorbed Schenck AccuRate (1994), Stock Equipment (2006), Screenex (2008), TEDO s.r.o. (2009), KOO Klayd Materials (2011), Clyde Process Solutions (2011), and Pentec Soluções em Mineração (2011). In 2024 the entire group rebranded from Schenck Process to Qlar, consolidating product lines, digital platforms, and online presence under a unified identity aligned with sustainable industrial transformation.

Broad incumbents

• Metso Corporation: Metso is a broad industrial incumbent serving mining, aggregates and metals with crushing, screening, conveying and material handling equipment. Its portfolio overlaps with Qlar in bulk material handling, screening (Screenex is a Qlar acquisition) and mining-related processing.
• ABB Ltd: ABB provides industrial process automation, instrumentation and control systems that overlap with Qlar's weighing, control and condition-monitoring portfolio. As a broad incumbent, ABB competes where plant-level automation and process control are bundled with material handling equipment.
• Siemens AG: Siemens is a broad industrial automation incumbent whose process industries and digital industries divisions overlap with Qlar's smart process control (CONiQ) and LOGiQ offerings. It competes indirectly by integrating weighing and process control into larger plant automation scopes.

Direct peers

• Flexicon Corporation: Flexicon manufactures flexible screw conveyors, pneumatic conveying systems, bulk bag unloaders and weighing/blending equipment. It competes with Qlar in conveying and feeding technologies, particularly in food, chemical and pharmaceutical bulk material handling.
• Coperion: Coperion (part of Hillenbrand) is a direct competitor in compounding, extrusion, feeding and conveying equipment for plastics, chemicals and food. Its K-Tron feeder line and Coperion brand compete head-to-head with Qlar's feeding and conveying technologies across the same verticals.
• Brabender Technologie: Brabender specializes in gravimetric and volumetric feeding, weighing and dosing equipment for plastics, chemicals, food and battery materials. It is a direct peer in feeding technology, particularly competing in precision gravimetric feeders.
• Zeppelin Systems: Zeppelin Systems provides bulk material handling, weighing, mixing and pneumatic conveying systems for plastics, chemicals and food. It is one of the closest direct peers, competing on full-line engineered material processing systems similar to Qlar's integrated offering.
• AZO GmbH & Co. KG: AZO is a German specialist in pneumatic conveying, feeding, screening and automation for bulk solids handling. It competes directly with Qlar in chemicals, plastics, food and battery materials, with comparable technology in gravimetric feeding and pneumatic conveying.

Emerging players

• Hardy Process Solutions: Hardy Process Solutions specializes in industrial weighing technology, load cells and weight-based process control. It overlaps with Qlar's weighing components and smart process control lines, particularly for chemical and food processing applications.
• Pfeiffer Vacuum: Pfeiffer Vacuum provides vacuum and filtration solutions that partially overlap with Qlar's air filtration and pneumatic conveying components. It is more specialized in vacuum technology and represents an emerging-adjacent peer in filtration and process gas handling.
