About DEGUMA
DEGUMA-SCHÜTZ GmbH is a family-owned mechanical engineering company based in Geisa (Thuringia) specializing in machines for rubber and plastics processing. The portfolio includes its own newly developed machines of the DEGUMA neo series (mixing mills, bale cutters, laboratory presses) as well as used machinery from European manufacturers covering all process steps – from mills, calenders, internal mixers and extruders to presses and cutting machines, through to laboratory and extrusion lines. More than 300 systems are available on 5,600 m² of workshop and warehouse space for inspection and test runs with customer material. Additional services include contract mixing of rubber and silicone, overhaul and modernization (DEGUMA efficiency), service and maintenance, safety consulting and safety retrofitting, installation and relocation, as well as spare parts and training. The machines are used, among other things, in the automotive, tire, construction, recycling and food industries as well as in silicone and polyurethane processing, and are shipped worldwide.
