About us

At ILCHMANN Fördertechnik, conveying bulk materials is not just what we do – it is part of who we are. As a family-owned company, our story is shaped by generations of hands-on engineering, responsibility for what we build, and a deep respect for the trust our customers place in us.

The company was founded with a simple conviction: conveying equipment must work reliably under real plant conditions, day after day, year after year. This belief has guided us from the beginning and still defines our decisions today. We design our conveyors as if we were going to operate them ourselves – with care, honesty, and a clear focus on long-term performance.

Working as a family business means thinking beyond projects and delivery dates. We value continuity, personal commitment, and long-term partnerships. Many of our engineers, technicians, and partners have been part of our journey for many years, carrying experience forward and shaping a shared understanding of quality and responsibility.

We take pride in solving difficult tasks. When bulk materials are demanding, installation space is limited, or operating conditions are harsh, we do not look for shortcuts. We take the time to understand the process, the material, and the plant environment. Every solution we develop reflects this dedication – practical, robust, and built to last.

Over the years, our path has led us into close cooperation with some of the world’s leading operators in the oilseed processing industry. Working alongside companies such as ADM, Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus has strengthened our understanding of what truly matters in large-scale, 24/7 operating plants: reliability, predictability, and partners who stand by their work.

What motivates us is not growth for its own sake, but the knowledge that our work will still be performing years from now. As a family business, we build for the long term – for our customers, for our partners, and for the next generation that will continue this craft.
