The name Schmidt + Clemens has stood for high-quality special steel solutions for more than 140 years. Be it spun casting, static casting, investment casting or forgings, we will face your challenges head on.
The Schmidt + Clemens Group is active on the international stage. Besides its German headquarters in Lindlar-Kaiserau, S+C also has production facilities in Spain, the Czech Republic, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. Our distribution company in the USA combined with more than 30 commercial agencies consolidate our global presence.
At the head of the Schmidt + Clemens group in the fourth generation of the family is managing partner Jan Schmidt-Krayer who is taking over the chairmanship of the board. Another managing director is Dominic Otte, for the Production & Technology department. Together, they have worldwide responsibility for the family firm’s business.
The framework conditions that the family business had to face in 2022 were more than challenging. First the pandemic, then the highly dramatic political crisis with the resulting shortage of raw materials, with the supply bottlenecks and the problems in global logistics made for consistently difficult business processes and unstable markets.
In addition, there were unprecedented cost increases for electricity and natural gas in the energy sector, which hit the German plant particularly hard. Nevertheless, even in these extremely difficult times, S+C has managed to achieve a good operating result – thanks to untiring efforts and exceptional flexibility on the part of the management team and all colleagues.
Founded in 1879 as a steel trading company in Frankfurt/Main, the Schmidt + Clemens Group can look back at more than 140 years of corporate history, marked by notable continuity and lack of stagnation. Today, the company group operates on a global scale.
In Addition to its German headquarters in Lindlar-Kaiserau, S+C also operates production sites in Spain, the Czech Republic, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. All of them have one thing in common: „Made by S+C“ is a hallmark for quality and safety.
In addition, the global presence of S+C is consolidated by our distribution company in the USA combined with more than 30 commercial agencies.
As a company producing steel, S+C is under special obligations in relation to environmental protection, in particular in regard to dust, noise and sewage pollution. An additional focus consists of measures to save energy. The components of our environmental policy are crucially determined by operational conditions, effects on the environment and by the legal parameters that apply to us.
On the basis of its results, management will evaluate how appropriate and effective our management system has been in regard to complying with our environmental policy and, in case of shortcomings, will introduce suitable corrective measures.
