Tuchel Maschinenbau

What Tuchel Maschinenbau does

Tuchel Maschinenbau GmbH is a German manufacturer of attachment sweepers, snow ploughs, and multifunctional carrier vehicles, headquartered in Salzbergen, Germany. The company's product portfolio spans three core lines: Tuchel-Sweep (attachment sweepers from compact entry-level models like SIMPLEX and ECO Pro to heavy-duty units like the PROFI GIGANT 920), Tuchel-Snow (snow ploughs including the VARIO with hydraulically adjustable V-/Y-form wings and nitrogen bubble overload protection), and Tuchel-Trac (self-propelled carrier vehicles including the TRIO, FarmXpert, and MINI 3 with an electric variant). Products are designed for compatibility with a broad range of carrier vehicles—tractors, wheel loaders, telescopic handlers, forklifts, trucks, Unimogs, and excavators—via quick-change attachment systems. A Sonderbau (custom build) line addresses specialized applications such as airport runway sweepers, fire brigade vehicles, and hydraulic side-shift attachments.

The company serves five primary verticals: agriculture (dairy/livestock farm maintenance), construction (site and access road cleaning), municipalities (pavement maintenance, winter service), recycling/handling technology, and industrial facilities. Tuchel generates revenue through hardware sales of complete machines (configured by working width and carrier vehicle), spare parts sales with multi-year availability, professional services (technical consultation, on-site training), and custom/special builds. Go-to-market is exclusively through a global network of specialist dealers from agricultural, construction, municipal, and forklift equipment sectors, with no direct e-commerce sales; the company supplements this with four regional sales representatives in Germany and dedicated international sales personnel covering France, Belgium, UK, Ireland, and broader export markets. Marketing channels include major trade shows (Agritechnica, bauma, Eurotier), a multi-language website, social media presence, and email newsletters.

The company is privately held, led by Managing Partner Dennis Schürmann, with 51-100 employees and consecutive Creditreform CrefoZert creditworthiness certifications from 2023 through 2026. It is currently investing in a new sustainable headquarters in Salzbergen, expected by spring 2026, to expand production, office, and logistics capacity.
