About us
Your bulk goods. Our solution.
Hosokawa Solids was founded in 1969, so we now have over 50 years of experience in bulk material handling. What started out as consulting and project planning for automated bulk material handling systems has now grown to include in-house production of machines and equipment at our sites in Germany (Landsberg am Lech) and Spain. We also offer special designs, after-sales service, inspection, maintenance, and repair.
Since January 2020, we have been part of the Hosokawa Alpine Group and thus part of the Hosokawa Micron Group. As of 2021, our network of experts in Latin America has been expanded by locations in Mexico and Chile. This means you can rely on us as a partner with a global sales and service network – close to your project, wherever it is in the world.
What you can achieve with us
