About Schormann
Maschinenfabrik Günter Schormann GmbH is an owner-managed medium-sized company based in Burscheid that has been active in mechanical engineering since 1948 and has specialized as a supplier of components for large power transformer manufacturing. Its product range includes axial fans in standard model series SK (350–520 mm) and SH (600–1,000 mm), heavy-duty track rollers, double rollers and circular bogies with load capacities of up to 65 tonnes per roller, as well as magnetic shielding packages (tank shunts, yoke and clamp shunts) with lengths of up to 8 metres. Manufacturing is carried out in steel, stainless steel and aluminium; fan blades from aluminium or PAG; frames from stainless steel or black steel. Processes include welding (certified to DIN EN ISO 3834-2) and, on request, corrosion protection coatings from C5 upwards. In addition to series production, the company offers design, product development, custom solutions, consulting and an on-call service. The factory site on Griesberger Straße comprises three production halls and an administrative building completed in 2024. Customers come mainly from the energy sector, including internationally active transformer manufacturers; according to the company, the export share has steadily increased.
