From Metso back to LINDEMANN

From Metso back to LINDEMANN

21st century is LINDEMANNs most successful business period

Just four years after Svedala Industries bought Lindemann, Svedala itself, including Svedala Lindemann GmbH, was taken over by Metso in 2001 and continued as Metso Lindemann GmbH. Metso initially consolidated Svedala's and Metso's existing metal and recyclables processing segments into Metso Minerals. The business was later spun off into a newly formed division as Metso Recycling. Metso added San Antonio-based Texas Shredder to its portfolio in 2005, thereby expanding its shredding expertise.

There was an enormous demand for scrap processing facilities especially between the years 2004 to 2010. It was the most successful business period in the "Lindemann history" so far, next to the formative and strong 1960s.

The pre-shredder was launched in 2013 and installed for the first time in France as a shredding element upstream of the shredding process to reduce deflagrations and wear in the expensive main shredder. Today's further enhanced EtaRip is regarded as the most sought-after pre-shredder in the market. The portfolio was expanded to include the N-series in 2016 - for processing smaller and medium scrap volumes. The first delivery was made to the USA in 2017.

LINDEMANN returned to being LINDEMANN in 2022. Backed by the investor Mimir, the core values of the founder Waldemar Lindemann “Quality, Performance, and Innovation” will once again be brought into sharper focus and further developed. In doing so, the company is concentrating on relevant topics such as digitalization and sustainability, optimizing internal structures and work processes, and investing in new personnel. The growth curve continues to rise more steeply than expected.
