The employment contracts of the business unit\u2019s 30-plus employees will be transferred to DIEFFENBACHER.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Schmidt & Heinzmann filed for insolvency at the beginning of August 2024. Rising raw material costs and the belated introduction of strategic measures led to the company\u2019s economic difficulties. \u201cDespite this, Schmidt & Heinzmann enjoys an excellent reputation in the composites industry as a world leader in SMC manufacturing technologies. The company\u2019s products are internationally recognized for their superior quality and performance,\u201d explains DIEFFENBACHER CFO Lukas Langer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThese attributes are a perfect fit with DIEFFENBACHER. Our Forming Business Unit has accomplished projects in the composites industry for almost 100 years. We also have a long tradition in the SMC sector,\u201d says Georg Obermaier, Head of the Forming Business Unit at DIEFFENBACHER. \u201dSchmidt & Heinzmann systems expand our delivery spectrum. We\u2019ll also be able to offer our existing SMC customers an even more comprehensive range of services. No changes to the Schmidt & Heinzmann portfolio are planned. We\u2019ll also maintain their service and spare parts supply,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal is to leverage synergies and promote the growth potential of the Schmidt & Heinzmann portfolio,\u201d explains Obermaier. \u201cOur strong international presence and the global DIEFFENBACHER network open up new markets and applications for the company\u2019s products, which we will continue to offer under the Schmidt & Heinzmann brand,\u201d Obermaier adds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re already having intensive discussions with Schmidt & Heinzmann customers about continuing joint projects,\u201d says Langer. \u201cWe\u2019re very pleased with the trust placed in us and look forward to our future cooperation,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n
