About Leimbach
Leimbach Maschinenbau GmbH, based in Bochum, was founded in 1972 and specializes in the design, planning and manufacture of machinery and systems for the scrap and recycling industry. The product range includes scrap shears, scrap presses and non-ferrous shredders for the processing of iron, steel and non-ferrous metals. The processing of these recycled raw materials is of ecological and economic importance, as iron and steel are only available in limited quantities. In addition to new systems, the company offers used machinery, including factory overhaul, transport, installation and radio remote control. A comprehensive customer service with a large spare parts warehouse ensures fast spare parts supply and service assignments. The integrated working method combining planning, design and manufacturing at one location enables mature solutions for customer operations.
