The Bellmer GmbH in 1842 in Niefern in today's Baden-Württemberg founded by Carl Bellmer. The company is managed by the sixth generation of the founding family and employs around 600 people worldwide. Bellmer has 16 branches, with the products being manufactured in Germany and Finland. There are two different areas in which Bellmer operates. Paper machines are manufactured in the “Paper Technology” division. The second area focuses on "Separation Technology". These machines separate liquids from solids by thickening, dewatering and filtering.
history
In 1842 Carl Bellmer bought a paper mill in Niefern. Twelve paper machines were produced in the first twenty years. Carl Bellmer's two sons, Emil and Karl Bellmer, continued the family business from 1874. A few years later, Karl Bellmer remained the sole owner. In 1890 Bellmer began exporting their machines. The pioneer of the angle press, the TwinningPress, was developed in 1928. Ursula and Ulrich Kollmar continued to run the company from 1957. Bellmer opened a new range of products in 1972 with the first angle press that was used for sludge dewatering.
The three brothers Philipp, Martin and Erich Kollmar took over the family business and have been running it since 1994.
The Bruderhaus company in Reutlingen was acquired in 1995. In the same year the "new generations" of the angle press and the TurboDrain Compact were developed. Three years later, Bellmer acquired Reinhard Maschinenfabrik, a manufacturer of paper machines for banknotes. In the same year, Bellmer received the Confructa Prize for its innovations in the fruit juice industry. The twinning press at that time, now known as the shoe press, came onto the market in 2001. Bellmer's first subsidiary was founded in Shanghai , China in 2003 . The TurboShaker has made high-frequency shaking possible since 2005. In 2007 the first high-speed TurboShaker was developed.
Lang-Hafner (Germany) was acquired and continued by Bellmer in 2008. The acquisition and continuation of Bellmer Kufferath happened just one year later. Bellmer founded Bellmer Ibérica in Spain in 2010. Three years later, Vaahto Paper Machinery Oy in Finland was acquired and continued. The new hydraulic TurboBladeJetter was launched on the market in 2014. The acquisition and continuation of GapCon (Germany) took place in 2015. Bellmer USA was founded in 2018. Bellmer Italia was founded a year later.
Bioeconomy
Bellmer tries to minimize the impact on the environment during paper production. Separation Technology products are designed to recycle waste and provide clean water to reduce the impact on the environment. Bellmer installs complete systems as well as individual machine sections for the production of paper, cardboard and special fiber products. In the Separation Technology division, the focus is on the efficient separation of liquids and solids.
