METZEN Industries GmbH is strategically expanding its capacities in material handling through the acquisition of Gerwin Silotechnik GmbH. Against the backdrop of rising infrastructure investments across Europe, METZEN is positioning itself for future growth—enhancing technical expertise, local presence, and a high-performance production site in Beckum.

With the integration of GERWIN, METZEN gains additional competencies in the planning and manufacturing of bulk material systems—from conveying technology and dust extraction to silo technology—broadening its solution portfolio across the entire value chain. Special emphasis is placed on innovative technologies that also deliver sustainable benefits. For example, modern conveying solutions can reduce the use of construction machinery, leading to lower fuel consumption and a noticeable reduction in CO₂ emissions—a key step towards environmentally friendly material handling.

“Infrastructure projects are becoming increasingly demanding—both technically and logistically. With GERWIN by our side, we can support our customers even more comprehensively, particularly in the construction materials and recycling sectors. The Beckum site plays a pivotal role in this,” explains Ramin Ghalibaf, CEO of METZEN Industries.

Michael Gerwin, founder of Gerwin Silotechnik GmbH, sees METZEN as a long-term partner for further development and future-proofing:

“METZEN is the right step for us: a company with vision, technical depth, and the willingness to invest in the right areas—including our Beckum site, which has been a strong pillar for quality plants in Europe for decades.”

Marcel Funk, Managing Director of Gerwin Silotechnik GmbH, will continue to lead the Beckum site and drive its development. His extensive experience in processing technology—particularly in lime, gypsum, and recycling industries—ensures continuity while introducing new momentum:

“I see great opportunities in combining our engineering strengths with METZEN’s infrastructure and project expertise. We want to actively shape the growing demand for future-ready material handling solutions—Beckum will remain a central hub.”

The acquisition underlines METZEN Industries’ commitment not only to organic growth but also to strategic investments in key areas essential for modern infrastructure development and sustainable raw material supply.
