Quality from a single source
Made in Vorarlberg
Manufacturing depth as a promise of quality
A high level of manufacturing depth is a central component of the philosophy at SCHMID Anlagenbau GmbH. It forms the basis for consistently high quality, short response times, and tailor-made special solutions. All work steps are planned, manufactured, tested, and assembled in-house – from the initial idea to the commissioning of the plant.
We develop customized special-purpose machines and systems for demanding industrial applications – precise, reliable, and durable. Every order is unique, every solution tailored specifically to the respective requirements. Especially in special-purpose machine construction, quality is no coincidence, but the result of experience, technical expertise, and a well-coordinated team of specialists. Whether conveyor technology, lifting technology, or applications in the food sector: our manufacturing depth enables us to react flexibly and solve technical challenges holistically.
This comprehensive manufacturing depth gives us maximum control over quality, deadlines, and technical implementation. For our customers, this means planning security, short coordination channels, and a reliable partner throughout the entire project.

A company with principles
Sustainability and regional responsibility are firmly anchored in everything we do. We consciously manufacture in Vorarlberg and invest specifically in modern production, skilled jobs, and the continuous training of our employees. Our aim is not only to build machines that work, but also to create sustainable, efficient, and future-proof systems. Our high level of manufacturing depth makes this possible – with clear communication, short distances, and a genuine handshake mentality.

Project planning & design –
well thought out right from the start
Precise design in special machine construction is the basis for functional, durable systems. Our design department develops tailor-made solutions that are precisely tailored to the requirements of our customers. Functionality, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance are taken into account right from the start. Through the close integration of design and production, we ensure that every special-purpose machine is implemented in a practical, efficient, and technically mature manner.
Control technology –
intelligent processes, reliably implemented
Our control technology in special machine construction ensures safe, efficient, and user-friendly systems. Our control engineers bring your machines to life: in close cooperation with the design and production departments, the appropriate control cabinet is planned and manufactured for each machine. The control system is then commissioned directly on site.
Our range of services extends from needs-based automation concepts to the development of the necessary controls and circuits and the programming of the corresponding software. Since planning, implementation, and commissioning are carried out in-house, the mechanics and controls are optimally coordinated. The result is stable processes, high system availability, and easy integration into existing production environments.
CNC machining –
precision down to the last detail
In CNC machining, we manufacture high-quality components with maximum dimensional accuracy. Our production thrives on a mix of proven technology and state-of-the-art CNC machines. We use reliable, manually operated machines – including real classics such as our “department veteran,” a Heid from 1961 – as well as state-of-the-art CNC centers such as the DMG DMF 260/7 or the DMG NEF 600. This combination makes it possible to machine workpieces of various geometries with the highest possible precision.
In-house machining enables short throughput times, high flexibility, and close coordination with design and assembly. The result: precisely fitting components, consistent quality, and a reliable basis for durable special-purpose machine solutions.
Welding –
stable connections for the highest demands
In our welding shop for machine and special plant construction, we produce load-bearing structures and assemblies that meet the highest technical and quality requirements. Whether tack welding or welding – things literally heat up here.
Depending on the requirements and area of application, we weld using MAG, TIG, and MIG processes. This allows us to respond flexibly to different materials and customer requirements – from steel to chrome steel. Clean workmanship, precise seams, and high-quality surfaces are particularly important when welding for the food industry. Let the sparks fly.
Painting department –
protection, function, and high-quality appearance
The Painting department in special machine construction is a crucial step for durability and value retention. We not only design surfaces to be visually appealing, but also specifically protect them against corrosion, wear, and environmental influences. The paint finish is tailored to the area of application, material, and customer requirements – functional, durable, and high-quality.
Factory assembly –
where design becomes a functioning system
Factory assembly in special machine construction is one of our most important production stages. With around 2,000 m² of production space, our assembly halls offer sufficient space to completely assemble, test, and inspect every system – from lift tables and conveyor systems to complex special designs.
This is where we screw, lift, push, drill, sweat, and sometimes even curse – that's exactly what makes this area so special. Because this is where your machine first becomes a tangible reality. Step by step, each individual component is assembled into a functioning overall system, turning the previously developed special construction into reality. All functions are comprehensively checked, processes tested, and interfaces checked. In this way, we ensure that every system leaves our factory in perfect technical condition, ready for operation, and on time – for smooth commissioning at the customer's site.
Final assembly & commissioning –
Ready for production
Our experienced technicians integrate the system into the existing production environment, professionally connect the mechanical, electrical, and control systems, and carry out all functional and safety tests. All processes are precisely tailored to the actual operating conditions and fine-tuned. Only when all processes are running stably, safely, and efficiently do we consider the project complete. Structured training of operating and maintenance personnel ensures that the system can be used reliably and productively from day one.
Close integration with design, control technology, and manufacturing ensures short distances, clear coordination, and the highest quality right down to the last detail.
Service & Maintenance –
an attitude you can feel
“Customer service is an attitude – not a department.” All work steps that ensure the quality of SCHMID Anlagenbau GmbH are carried out in-house. And if something does not run quite to your satisfaction, we are always there for you – reliable, solution-oriented, and personal.
You don't have to worry about the maintenance of your machines and systems either. Our professional maintenance staff ensures that everything keeps running smoothly.
Through targeted process and function monitoring, we ensure that electrical and mechanical processes function smoothly and remain stable in the long term. Our rapid response time, technical expertise, and attention to detail get your machines and systems back up and running reliably.
Service at SCHMID means: Taking responsibility – throughout the entire life cycle of your system.
