INDAG Maschinenbau GmbH

What INDAG Maschinenbau GmbH does

INDAG Maschinenbau GmbH is a privately held German industrial equipment manufacturer headquartered in Itzehoe, Schleswig-Holstein, founded in 1953. The company designs and builds dynamic continuous inline mixers sold under the FlowMix brand (registered 2015), with a product line spanning gentle mixing (DLM/M, DLM/M ECO), pin-element mixing (DLM/P), intensive star mixing (DLM/S), high-shear homogenization (DLM/H), solid-liquid mixing (DLM/FS), laboratory/pilot-scale units (DLM/S-007 Mini), high-pressure mixing for polymers (DLM/S HP), and hydrolysis mixing for sewage sludge (DLM/KS). Core technology relies on rotor-stator and paddle-based mixing elements to deliver continuous homogeneous mixing, emulsification, dispersion, aeration, and foaming across a wide shear-rate range, with standardized components tailored to specific customer applications.

The firm serves four primary verticals: food (dairy, confectionery, foodstuffs, beverages, baked goods) as the lead segment, plus chemical, cosmetics, and environmental industries. Customers are enterprise industrial processors; named engagements include a multi-line detergent production order of 12 intensive mixers and a medical-sector on-site trial for adhesive/additive mixing. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of configured mixer units and aftermarket services (commissioning, repair, spare parts); pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set via direct consultation given the custom-engineered nature of each order.

Go-to-market combines direct sales with technical consultation (including on-site trial runs and factory acceptance tests) and an extensive global partner network covering more than 70 countries with an 80% export share. Channel partners handle local sales, service, and support functions, with key relationships including a 40-year Japanese partnership with Mountech and newer agreements with Telfa AB (Sweden, 2023), DKF Pompe (France, 2025), and North American Process (USA, 2025). The company maintains ISO 9001 quality certification, is certified in 10 languages on its website, and actively generates demand through major trade shows (Interpack, Chinaplas, K Messe, ACHEMA, ProSweets, PowtechTechnopharm, IBIE), YouTube demonstrations, and case-study content. A leadership transition occurred in July 2025 with Carsten Pump becoming Managing Director, succeeding Wilko Willuhn.
