Quality by tradition - for generations
Anniversary year – a tradition of quality for 100 years!
Today, Zuther GmbH is one of the leading suppliers of professional bulk material handling systems and supplies machines and turnkey systems for use in various industries. Our machines have proven themselves worldwide under the toughest operating conditions and stand for reliability and quality. The continuation of the company, now in its fourth generation, has also been secured by the arrival of Andreas Zuther’s two sons, Jannik and Jonas Zuther.
Zuther has developed into a modern industrial company that stands out from the rest by combining tradition and modernity. As a medium-sized family business, Zuther not only has state-of-the-art manufacturing, but is also one of the leaders in the industry in the field of digitalization. In addition to a newly introduced IT system, Zuther was also involved in the development of digital products for its customers – the sFIX maintenance and servicing software was created.
In recent years, Zuther has developed into one of the established suppliers of bulk solids technology. With great commitment, Zuther was able to win further markets for itself. Due to the high quality of the products, it was possible to gain market shares in the field of stones and soils and in the industry. Today Zuther operates internationally and in many countries. Always committed to the slogan “Quality by Tradition”.
Since 2014, Andreas Zuther took over the entire management and successfully leads the fortunes of the company.
Due to a highly qualified team of employees, a modern production and the sum of our experience of almost 100 years, company Zuther developed to one of the leading suppliers in the field of bulk material technology. Due to the increasing demand, the production capacities were extended by two large production halls. Furthermore, investments were constantly made in the machinery. In the meantime, Zuther no longer operates only in the national market, but has also found international sales areas.
In the 70s and 80s, the production area was modernized and the product range expanded by using new machines and expanding the production facilities. Furthermore, investments were made in a modern EDP system and computer-aided drawing technology. In 1988, Mr. Horst Zuther’s sons, Michael and Andreas Zuther, joined the company. This ensured the continued existence of the family business.
As more and more small and medium-sized mills were shut down in the course of the 1960s, the company had to look for another sales market and decided to focus on the field of grain storage and silo equipment. Efficient conveying technology and grain cleaning machines were developed for this sector, as well as the necessary dust removal technology for the grain silo facilities. In the course of the new technology and growing sales, it became necessary to expand metal processing by closing down the sawmill and constructing a new building for metal processing instead.
At the beginning of the 1950s, the first cleaning and processing machines for grain were developed. The machines selected sheaves, wafers, seeds, burnt balls and light grains from grain. The outputs were around 2 tons per hour. The machines were made of the finest mahogany.
In 1949, the company then moved with some employees and families to Neu Tramm in the Lüchow-Dannenberg district and set up a hall for manufacturing and administration.
With the new premises, equipped for woodworking and metalworking, as well as a roll grinding and corrugating machine for reconditioning milling rolls, the company was now in a position to significantly expand its product range for milling machines. At this time, Mr. Horst Zuther, Karl’s son, also joined the company.
After the end of the war, Karl Zuther began to carry out repairs in small mills from Flensburg-Mürwik, together with his sons Alfred and Hans Zuther and a box of organized tools. The family lost their property during the war and started all over again – with courage, hope and entrepreneurial instinct. The business developed slowly; premises were rented and machines were purchased, and with the increase of employees, milling machines such as semolina and haze cleaning machines, sifters and flour mixing machines were produced again. The company developed and looked for larger premises and a better located plant site.
On October 10, 1921, the company Karl Zuther, Mühlen- und Speicherbau was founded by master miller and millwright Karl Zuther in Meseritz.
The company with its own workshop and about 10-15 employees dealt with the modernization and re-equipment of small and medium-sized mills.
