Schmitztechnik

Schmitztechnik is a supplier of high-quality customised rubber and plastic parts to machine builders and automotive companies in the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland). The company is specialised in providing a broad range of products to medium-sized companies including component specification and design, sourcing, production and logistics. Schmitztechnik’s strength is the company’s ability to deliver the right quantities with the specified quality at the right time for the customer.

Schmitztechnik as part of Lagercrantz Group

When Lagercrantz acquired Schmitztechnik in 2019, the company was an integrated part of a larger group that provided many of the functions required in a stand-alone company. To make Schmitztechnik stand on its own two feet, a number of measures were implemented with active engagement from Lagercrantz. These included a focused market strategy, the implementation of business control and a move to new fit-for-purpose premises to enable modern warehousing and logistics operations. The company has also developed its own sales and marketing activities and the technical team has been strengthened. In addition, ongoing digitalisation of the company’s internal processes is underway.

In a matter of a few years, Schmitztechnik has become a more integrated part of the customer journey and can provide a faster, more flexible and agile response to customer requirements. Having built a stronger base, the company has now entered a new era of profitable growth.

“With the support of Lagercrantz, we have become a faster and more flexible company that can better respond to customer needs. Schmitztechnik wants to offer the best possible total solution for the customer. By doing so, we contribute, by adding value, to the customer’s business operations.”
