About Schmidt-Seeger

Schmidt-Seeger GmbH was a German mechanical and plant engineering company specializing in grain processing. The company developed and manufactured grain storage facilities, malting and milling technology as well as aspirators and conveying systems, including the GAMO conveying system. In malting technology, the company held a leading international position. Founded in 1929 at the Brunnmühle (today the municipality of Walting) by the brothers Michael and Andreas Schmidt, the business was relocated to Beilngries in 1979, where its headquarters were located. Additional sites existed in Döbeln (branch plant from 1993) and Plüderhausen (from 2001, closed in 2010). In 2007 the company was sold to AG ATON in Fulda and in 2010 it was taken over by Bühler AG; most recently it generated revenue of €116 million with 463 employees.
