Performance and reliability shape our company history

The history of Schirmer Maschinen GmbH begins in 1979 in Sennestadt. Thorsten Schirmer constructed the first automated profile processing centre with a handful of employees. It was the “BZ100” for the wood and window industry. From the very beginning, Schirmer has focussed on customised solutions for profile processing. Constant growth and the continual further development of our technological modular system became our recipe for success. In the meantime, Schirmer offers the right solutions for many materials. Constantly making new innovations allowed us to develop into a successful medium-sized company that stands by its word, no matter whether deadlines or technical agreements are concerned.

Schirmer and Beckhoff: A story of joint success

The location in the heart of Ostwestfalen-Lippe was conducive to the meeting between Thorsten Schirmer and Hans Beckhoff. The latter had begun establishing Beckhoff Automation in 1980. Both saw the great potential offered by a cooperation, and so it was that Beckhoff delivered the first machine control to Schirmer in 1980. Schirmer became a regular customer of Beckhoff after that, and the first PC-controlled machining centre came onto the market in the mid-1980s. In the following decades, an intensive cooperation developed between machine engineering and control technology. The next step ensued in 2016: 40 years after both companies were founded, what belonged together came together! Schirmer Maschinen GmbH became part of the Beckhoff Automation Group.

Schirmer – 40 years of experience and local ties

Today Schirmer is a medium-sized company with 20 sales partners around the world and approximately 200 employees on site in Verl. Many have been part of our team for years and work with motivation to improve our technologies. We place particular value on our local ties to Ostwestfalen-Lippe: Our main location is only 10 km away from the place where our company was founded!

Reliability, solid economic management and serious project planning are traditions at Schirmer. We think in the long term, and our customers’ trust is our top priority. Our clients’ satisfaction has made us even more determined to continue down this path. Genuine partnerships have formed, and this loyalty is the greatest reward for our team.

Social involvement

Schirmer has been collaborating with the working group “Wertkreis Güterloh” for over 10 years. This group creates attractive jobs for people with disabilities in our region. Individual parts of our systems are produced with the greatest care in its workshops. This cooperation was expanded continually in recent years. Furthermore, Schirmer sponsors SC Verl, which celebrated its advancement into the 3rd German soccer league in 2020.
