GET Global Engineering and Trade GmbH

What GET Global Engineering and Trade GmbH does

GET Global Engineering and Trade GmbH is a privately held German limited liability company (GmbH) founded in 1998 and headquartered in Schönkirchen, Germany. The firm operates as an international engineering and trading intermediary, representing multiple industrial manufacturers — including Kilia Food Machine Technology GmbH (food/meat, bakery, and packaging machinery), MARINEX GmbH together with AYKOR (defense, marine, oil and gas, rolling stock, fire fighting, and subsea systems), NESS Wärmetechnik GmbH (industrial heating systems), OAS AG (MES software for manufacturing execution and SAP integration), Hentschke & Sawatzki GmbH (pest control systems), and Strategic Analytics (industrial consulting) — and coordinating their business activities worldwide through a network of contacts. GET has a wholly-owned UK subsidiary, CET Consulting Engineering and Trade, based in Macclesfield, which extends its international presence.

The business model is a B2B channel/representation model with no proprietary technology and no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated from commissions or margins on hardware, software, and spare-parts transactions flowing between represented manufacturers and end customers across at least five verticals: food/meat processing (primary), defense and industrial systems, industrial heating and process energy, manufacturing operations software, and pest control. The go-to-market is direct B2B sales coordinated globally via phone, email, and the partner network, with no disclosed digital marketing or self-serve channels.

The company operates with 1–10 employees under sole director Silke Platz (Geschäftsführerin), with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A, or executive hires beyond the founder/owner. Twenty-five-plus years of operating history, multi-brand representation rights, and a claimed worldwide network constitute the firm's principal intangible assets. Limited public financial disclosure, absence of growth signals (no new hires, no funding, no product launches), and the small headcount together suggest a stable, owner-operated trading firm rather than a scaling enterprise.

Broad incumbents

• Tetra Pak: Tetra Pak is a leading global supplier of food processing and packaging solutions including packaging machines. Overlaps with GET's Kilia packaging-machine franchise and serves the same dairy/liquid-food processor customers, but at a fundamentally larger scale and with proprietary equipment.
• Heat and Control: Heat and Control is a privately held global manufacturer and integrator of food processing, packaging and seasoning systems. Relevant overlap with GET in selling food-meat processing and packaging equipment to industrial processors, though at greater scale and with proprietary technology.
• Alfa Laval: Alfa Laval is a Swedish industrial equipment manufacturer active in food, dairy, beverage and industrial heating - the same end-markets GET touches through food machinery and NESS Wärmetechnik's industrial heating portfolio. Comparable customer base and equipment categories, but Alfa Laval owns the underlying technology.
• Middleby Corporation: Middleby is a US-listed conglomerate of food processing, commercial kitchen and residential equipment brands. Both Middleby and GET distribute food/meat processing equipment to industrial customers; Middleby acquires and operates proprietary brands while GET represents independent manufacturers like Kilia.
• Handtmann: Handtmann is a German manufacturer of food processing and portioning machines, especially for meat and bakery applications. Direct adjacency to GET's primary Kilia vertical (meat/food, bakery machines), serving the same German and European processors, but as a manufacturer rather than a brand representative.
• Bucher Industries: Bucher Industries operates divisions including Bucher Unipektin (food & beverage processing) and Bucher Municipal (specialty industrial). Both Bucher and GET serve industrial food processors and offer processing equipment, though Bucher manufactures and GET distributes represented brands like Kilia and NESS Wärmetechnik.
• Marel: Marel is a global Iceland-based manufacturer of food processing equipment focused on meat, poultry, fish and dairy - the exact primary vertical of GET. Both entities sell machinery into meat/food processors, but Marel builds the equipment and runs direct sales/service, whereas GET intermediates third-party-built machines.
• JBT Corporation: JBT (John Bean Technologies) is a US-listed supplier of food processing and air transport equipment. Comparable to GET because both sell food/meat processing machinery into industrial processors, though JBT captures manufacturer economics while GET earns commissions as a representative.
• Bühler Group: Bühler is a Swiss multinational manufacturer of grain, food and advanced materials processing systems. Comparable to GET because both serve food-industry capital equipment buyers and both can deliver packaging and processing line technology, though Bühler develops and manufactures while GET resells/represents partner brands.
• GEA Group: GEA is a major German-origin manufacturer of food processing machinery, packaging equipment and separators. Comparability to GET arises from the overlap in end-customers (food, meat and bakery processors) buying into similar equipment categories that GET distributes via Kilia - but GEA owns the manufacturing IP rather than intermediating it.
