Pfister Waagen Bilanciai Gmbh

What Pfister Waagen Bilanciai Gmbh does

Pfister Waagen Bilanciai GmbH is a German industrial weighing technology company headquartered in Affing-Mühlhausen near Augsburg, founded in 1894 and operating as a privately held GmbH within the international Bilanciai Group. The company develops, manufactures, and services complete weighing systems for industrial and commercial customers, with hardware manufactured in Germany using in-house engineering. Its core product portfolio spans vehicle scales (above-ground and below-ground road and rail configurations), platform and container scales, digital and analog load cells, and a family of weighing terminals (Omnia 120, DD 700 series, FLYNET series, D70 series, and the intrinsically safe DD700IS for hazardous areas). Complementing the hardware, Pfister operates a proprietary software stack centered on WinWeigh neo (a modern server-client platform with WPF desktop client and MS SQL backend, launched January 2026), WinWeigh Plus (extended business management including AVV catalog, disposal certificates, invoicing, and statistics), WinWeigh mobile, DIADEConnect, and VWP100. The software embeds regulatory compliance logic for German legal metrology and waste documentation, and integrates with barriers, traffic lights, and license plate recognition for yard-management workflows.

The company sells and services its systems primarily through a direct, field-based model: regional sales representatives provide technical consultation from initial requirements analysis through commissioning, and a decentralized nationwide service technician network handles installation, calibration/verification (Konformitätsbewertung), cyclical maintenance, modernization, and remote support. ISO 9001 certification and in-house conformity assessment capability reduce reliance on external calibration bodies. Service contracts (Servicevertrag) generate recurring revenue alongside hardware sales and software licensing.

Pfister serves enterprise customers across multiple verticals in Germany, including recycling and waste management, food and agriculture, chemical, construction and building materials, metals, energy supply and waste-to-energy, quarrying and mining, and general industry. Named customers include BMW Group, Audi, TotalEnergies, Liebherr, Lech-Stahlwerke, EEW Energy from Waste, Ineos Solvents Germany, MiRO, Bachl, Streicher, Kutter, Swietelsky, Pollmeier, Klixer Recycling, and Mifuma, indicating enterprise-weighted revenue concentration diversified across sectors. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with payment terms of 30 days net (2 days net for service work) per standard AGB.
