About Eichholz
Eichholz Silo- und Anlagenbau GmbH is a family business founded in 1962, now in its third generation, based in Schapen in the Emsland region. The company develops, designs and manufactures custom silos and bulk material systems, especially where standard solutions are not sufficient. The portfolio includes storage, mixing, day, loading, multi-chamber and flex silos, container solutions, big bag filling and discharge stations, Oktabin systems, sack discharge stations, as well as conveying technology and automation including control cabinet construction. Design and manufacturing take place in-house at the Schapen site; installation and service assignments are carried out by skilled workers and technicians in Germany and abroad. The systems are in use worldwide, primarily in industrial bulk material handling and special plant construction. In 2025, the company received the Crefo Zert for exceptionally good creditworthiness.
