Innovation and quality since 1925

Founded in 1925 by Paul Pleiger, the former Paul Pleiger Maschinenfabrik initially manufactured compressed air valves and fittings for the mining sector, and a few years later they also began manufacturing pneumatic mining pumps. In the 1950s, the product range for the machine engineering sector expanded to include components for hydraulics (radial piston engines, swivel drives) and eventually centrifugal pumps for wastewater. At the same time, the company diversified its production of plastic products, adding cast elastomers and later thermoplastics. In the years that followed, the electrotechnology and laser optic divisions were founded. At the end of the 1990s, the existing divisions were split into independent companies, with PLEIGER Maschinenbau among them. The development of new markets, the introduction of new products and expansion overseas led to significant growth, with four sites in Germany and manufacturing facilities in the USA, China and Korea.

PLEIGER is a strong partner for hydraulic systems and components and is one of the global market leaders for electro-hydraulic ship equipment, as well as for centrifugal pumps, coke oven valves and cast products made from light and non-ferrous metals. PLEIGER combines the innovative power of a German high-tech manufacturer with the down-to-earth character of a tradition-conscious, family-owned company with long term prospects. An in-house development center as well as the involvement of the group’s own training company with, at present, 70 trainees completes the company profile. PLEIGER stands for stability and sustainable growth.
