Siloanlagen Achberg GmbH & Co. KG

What Siloanlagen Achberg GmbH & Co. KG does

Siloanlagen Achberg GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned German Mittelstand manufacturer of bulk material handling systems for the plastics processing industry, founded in 1999 by Gerd Maass and headquartered in Achberg, Germany with two manufacturing facilities (Baind 20 and Im Wattrain 14). The company designs and builds a comprehensive product portfolio including modular silos, flexible internal silos (up to 50-tonne capacity), plastic-granulate containers (60–4,800 L), big bag emptying and filling stations, standardized and custom pipe systems with RFID-equipped coupling stations, mixing/homogenizing silos, and PLC-based control systems with web visualization. Complementary offerings include slide valves, blowers, rotary feeders, butterfly valves, and contract manufacturing (Lohnfertigung) of sheet metal and pipe constructions in stainless steel, steel, and aluminum for adjacent industries.

The company sells primarily via direct B2B engagement, with project-based custom engineering for three identified customer segments: plastics processors (injection molding, extrusion, blow moulding, compounding, recycling), plant builders integrating central material conveying systems, and machine manufacturers supplying complete plastics-processing lines. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific; an online Outlet Store additionally monetizes overproduction, returns, and discontinued items at reduced prices. Marketing channels combine trade show presence (Fakuma in Friedrichshafen), a multilingual website (11 languages), social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), and active technical-sales recruitment.

Revenue is undisclosed. The company holds five active TÜV certifications (DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, ISO 3834-2, DIN 1090-2/3 EXC2 for steel and aluminum welding, and ISO 14001:2015) and an IHK apprenticeship-training credential. Ownership remains fully with the Maass family; no external investment, private equity, or venture capital is evidenced, and no M&A, funding rounds, IPO, or restructuring activity is recorded. The firmographic snapshot reports 8 employees and a legal form of GmbH & Co. KG (a German limited partnership with a separate Verwaltung GmbH as general partner).

Core offering

Designs, develops, and manufactures bulk material handling solutions for the plastics processing industry, including modular silo systems, flexible internal silos (up to 50+ tonnes), containers, big bag handling systems, pipe systems with couplings, components (valves, blowers, feeders), and PLC-based control systems. Additionally offers contract manufacturing (Lohnfertigung) of stainless steel, steel, and aluminum sheet metal and pipe constructions for other industries.

Product overview

Siloanlagen Achberg GmbH & Co. KG offers a comprehensive portfolio of bulk material handling solutions for the plastics processing industry. The product range centers on eight core offerings: ACHBERG® silo systems (modular silos with components for filling, level measurement, discharge, filtration, and drying), ACHBERG® flexible silos (internal flexible silos up to 50 tons capacity), ACHBERG® container solutions (60L-4800L for plastic granules), ACHBERG® bigbag systems (emptying and filling for various materials), ACHBERG® pipe systems (complete piping solutions with couplings, pipes, bends, and accessories), ACHBERG® components (valves, blowers, feeders, and diverters), ACHBERG® control systems (PLC-based controls and web visualization), and ACHBERG® production (contract manufacturing services). The portfolio is complemented by specialized mixing/homogenizing silos and RFID-enabled coupling stations for automated material tracking. As a mid-sized family-owned company with over 25 years of experience, they serve injection molding, film and profile extrusion, blow molding, compounding, and recycling operations.

Broad incumbents

• Coperion: German-based global leader in compounding and extrusion technology, providing bulk material handling systems including silos, conveying, feeding, and rotary valves. Comparable as a manufacturer of bulk solids handling equipment serving plastics, chemicals, and food markets.
• Zeppelin Systems: German-based bulk material handling specialist providing silos, pneumatic conveying, mixers, and plant engineering across plastics, chemicals, and rubber. Comparable scope to ACHBERG in silos and pipe systems but with much larger scale and broader industry reach.
• Piovan Group: Italian-headquartered global supplier of auxiliary equipment for plastics processing including material handling, storage, conveying, dosing, and drying systems. Directly comparable as a bulk material handling and silo/storage provider for plastics processors, though much larger and broader in product scope.
• WAMGROUP: Italian-headquartered global manufacturer of bulk material handling and processing equipment including silos, screw conveyors, rotary valves, and dust filters. Directly comparable in core silo/conveying/component product lines, but operating at much larger scale across multiple industries.
• Wittmann Group (Motan): Austrian/German supplier of injection molding auxiliaries including Motan-brand material handling, drying, conveying, and silo systems for plastics. Overlaps directly with ACHBERG's silos, pipe systems, and control offerings while also supplying robots and temperature controllers.

Emerging players

• MOVACOLOR: Dutch manufacturer of gravimetric and volumetric dosing, mixing, and conveying equipment for plastics processing. Comparable niche focus on bulk material handling within plastics processors, with smaller scale and more limited product breadth than ACHBERG.
• LABOTEK (Motan-Colortronic successor): European (Danish/Finnish origin) manufacturer of drying, conveying, and dosing equipment for plastics processors. Comparable niche specialization in plastics bulk material handling, serving similar plant-builder and processor customers.
