About Bestehorn Sondermaschinenbau
Bestehorn Sondermaschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned company with a tradition of more than 100 years at its site in Schackstedt (Aschersleben, Saxony-Anhalt). The company develops and manufactures special machinery, systems and fixtures for a wide range of applications, including shredding and size reduction solutions (Palmwolf®), conveyor screws, mixing and screening systems as well as conveying and transport technology. Its focus is stainless steel processing with more than 50 years of experience, in particular the manufacture, repair and reconditioning of large rotating elements such as screws, shafts and cutting sets including bearing technology. The range of services covers all common metalworking processes: machining (turning up to 6 m length, milling, boring, grinding, wire EDM, waterjet cutting), sheet metal processing, welding technology, surface treatment and electrical engineering including control cabinet construction. Customers come from the food, recycling, building materials and basic materials industries as well as from industry and trades. In addition, the company offers retrofit, reproduction of spare parts, CAD design with reverse engineering and 3D printing prototyping.
