Markert Group

What Markert Group does

Markert Group is a privately held, family-owned German industrial manufacturer headquartered in Neumünster with a registered office in Hamburg. The group operates two core divisions: Markert Marsoflex, which designs and manufactures industrial hose assemblies in PTFE, silicone, rubber, composite, and elastomer materials along with couplings and safety connections; and Markert Filtration (branded Marsyntex), which produces textile filtration products including filter cloths, filter bags, and filter belts. Products are engineered for pressurized handling of critical media and meet industry-specific compliance regimes such as FDA, EC 1935/2004, GMP, and REACH for food and pharmaceutical applications.

The company sells primarily through a direct field sales organization covering German regions (Mitte, Bayern, Baden-Württemberg) and Austria and Switzerland, supplemented by its Markert Italia subsidiary and active participation at international trade fairs including ACHEMA, Filtech, Pharmintech, and POWTECH TECHNOPHARM. Pricing is quote-based and specification-driven, with revenue generated through hardware sales of finished hose assemblies and filtration consumables. Recent product development has emphasized process safety, notably RFID-enabled smart hose assemblies for pharmaceutical and chemical traceability and double hose systems for secondary containment in chemical media handling.

Markert is led by Philipp Markert as sole Geschäftsführer (CEO) and is supported by ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications for Markert Marsoflex GmbH, recognition as a Top Employer in the German Mittelstand (2024), and membership in Die Familienunternehmer and Deutschland – Land der Ideen. Customer segments span chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, mining, plant engineering, and freight/tank terminal operators, with no external investors or funding rounds disclosed.
