YOUR 360° PARTNER
FULL SOLUTION PARTNER

Lindemann provides its customers with comprehensive solutions and support, based on four key pillars:

Equipment

With more than a century of experience behind us, shearing, baling, shredding, crushing or briquetting – LINDEMANN is the definition of metal recycling.

Parts

The durability, efficiency, reliability of our original parts are taken into account as early as the product development phase, influencing the choice of materials and manufacturing processes.

Service

Inspect, advise, repair and optimize. Our always-on global service network ensures your machines are kept in peak condition.

Innovations

Our engineers spend thousands of hours a year in research and development activities, with a focus on creating sustainable technologies that improve efficiency and lower costs.

Vision & Mission

Our Vision is to Transform the Metal Circular Economy for a better tomorrow. This means we are committed to sustainability, innovation, and social responsibility in the handling and recycling of metals. Metal products are not simply discarded after use; instead, they are reused, recycled, or otherwise reintegrated into the production cycle.

Our machines and systems are the best on the market. They ensure that the materials they process are returned to the cycle with near-purity – conserving resources and maximizing efficiency. Material value is increased, and the ecological footprint is minimized.

Our Mission is to expand our leadership in product performance and quality while promoting sustainability across the entire value chain. We strive to be the most responsive partner in the industry and the first choice for our customers. By focusing on profitability, we aim to lead the industry and create value for both our company and our customers.

Sustainability

Our Contribution to Preserving Natural Resources

All LINDEMANN machines are designed to meet the quality standards required for steel processing in harmony with the green steel cycle. From scrap material preparation, separation, and sorting, to proven emissions reduction and result analysis that evaluates the purity of the processed material, LINDEMANN is fully committed to the green steel cycle.

Rather than discarding components at the end of their first lifecycle, our machines restore them to a like-new condition. This "second life" conserves raw materials, while the process requires only a fraction of the energy needed to produce new components.

We are also working to reduce indirect emissions generated along our value chain by selecting suppliers who share our environmental goals.

History

MORE THAN 100 YEARS OF METAL RECYCLING SOLUTIONS

On October 1, 1913, at the age of 27, Waldemar Lindemann founded his namesake trading company in Düsseldorf. The idea came to him during an internship at an export company in Antwerp, where he was responsible for logistics. He realized that the transportation of goods such as cotton, sisal, or hemp became increasingly expensive the bulkier and more voluminous they were.
