About Goerg & Schneider
Goerg & Schneider is a fourth-generation family company headquartered in Boden in the Westerwald. Founded in 1924 in Siershahn, the company is today one of the leading raw material suppliers for ceramic and non-ceramic applications. Its portfolio includes clays and milled clays, chamotte and calcined clays as well as ceramic and plastic bodies. Its customers come from the tile, sanitary ceramics and brick/clinker industries as well as from the building materials industry, special applications and recycling. In addition to supplying raw materials, the company offers services: transport organisation, third-party weighing on a calibrated road vehicle weighbridge (accuracy 20 kg, max. 50 t) and laboratory analyses in its own central laboratory, including XRF chemical analysis, dilatometry, firing behaviour, grain size distribution and rheology. Elsewhere in Europe, Goerg & Schneider is represented by sales agents, among others in France, Italy, Poland, Spain, Hungary, Croatia/Slovenia and Turkey.
