What SOLLAU, s. r. o. does

SOLLAU, s. r. o. is a Czech private limited company headquartered in Velký Ořechov (Zlín Region) that designs, engineers, and manufactures magnetic separation and metal detection equipment, supported by an in-house production facility. Its product portfolio spans permanent and electromagnetic separators for bulk solids, liquids, and slurries; eddy current separators for non-ferrous metals; industrial metal detectors in tunnel, fall-pipe, pipeline, conveyor, and multi-segment configurations; vibrating screens (integrated from Italian partner Virto-Cuccolini); vibrating feeders and conveyors; electromagnets; and ancillary items such as magnetic brooms, mobile runway lights, demagnetizers, and detectable consumables for the food industry. Proprietary technologies include the mesuCAGE reduced-metal-free-zone architecture, imagePHASE visualization for tunnel detectors, patent-pending multi-frequency X-Line vibrating screens, and the patent-pending METRON 05 PowerLine pneumatic pipeline detector. Products are certified or aligned with HACCP, IFS, BRC, SQF, GMP, ATEX, and FDA requirements for regulated industries.

The company sells primarily through a direct, consultative field-sales model in which sales engineers visit customer sites for measurement, specification, and proposal, with free material testing and results delivered within three business days. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven rather than list-based, and revenue is generated through one-time capital equipment sales bundled with installation, commissioning, training, and authorized after-sales service for all brands. Customer industries include plastics and rubber manufacturing, food and beverage processing, recycling and waste processing (primary), plus mining/quarrying, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, wood processing, and metalworking. Named end-customers include Škoda Auto, Tesla, Nestlé, Mondelēz International, Agrana, Laufen, Suez, and Lafarge-Holcim. Distribution is international via an 11-language website and trade-fair presence (IFAT Munich, PLASTPOL Kielce), with a separate e-shop (eshop.sollau.cz) handling standardized magnet sales to smaller buyers. The company has been operating since 2011 and is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
