LINDEMANN presence in more than 50 countries worldwide

The scrap shear business was flourishing in the 1960s. During the same period, LINDEMANN was working on the first shredder tests for crushing metal scrap, at first with a hammer mill, then later with a newly designed automotive shredder. The success was clear to see: Scrap metal processors practically snatched the first automotive shredders out of LINDEMANN's hands. Waldemar Lindemann passed away in 1964 and his daughter Ingelore became the sole owner. As of this date, the operational business was managed by a management team that included Ingelore's husband, General Consul Schoeme. LINDEMANN purchased the Düsseldorf-based company Hartung Kuhn & Co in 1965, boosting the company's own production capacity in the process. The company continued to grow steadily. LINDEMANN already employed 1,000 people by the mid-1960s and had a presence in more than 50 countries worldwide. England's first large-scale shredder lines were installed by LINDEMANN in 1967.
