What Kahl & Schlichterle offers

Three core areas. One experienced partner.

Kahl & Schlichterle supports machines throughout their entire service life. We deal in used and fully reconditioned machines and production lines, purchase existing equipment and support machinery projects with comprehensive technical and logistical services.

Full reconditioning

Make cost-effective use of tried-and-tested technology. We recondition used machines and adapt them to your production requirements. This offers an alternative to purchasing new equipment and enables you to continue using your existing technology.

Buying and selling

Buying and selling machinery. Through our website, digital marketplaces and our established global network, we bring supply and demand together. This includes project management and technical support beyond the point of sale.

Technical service

We maintain and further develop existing equipment. Our technicians and electronics engineers carry out retrofitting, maintenance, servicing and repairs. Spare parts, as well as format and conversion parts manufactured in-house, complement our service offering.

Why companies worldwide trust us

The more demanding the task, the more experience counts.

As a third-generation, medium-sized family-run business, we place great emphasis on partnership-based, long-term business relationships. We are familiar with many manufacturers, product ranges and the specific features of systems that have been expanded and upgraded over the years. We apply this knowledge to our refurbishment work, global machinery trade and technical service.

Our focus on partnership and long-term relationships sets us apart from purely transactional trading on digital marketplaces. Behind every project are people, machines and products. We take a holistic approach, striving for communication on an equal footing, transparency, the quality of our equipment and the satisfaction of our customers. This is why we stand for ‘More Than Trade’.

Complex challenges spur us on. Drawing on our experience and passion for technology, we develop solutions tailored to your production needs. In doing so, we consider not only the technical implementation but also the economic benefits: Which components can be reused? Where would a modification improve the production process? And what level of investment is worthwhile for you?

Across 13,000 m² of premises, around 50 employees combine expertise in mechanical engineering, processing and assembly with the capabilities of our in-house production facilities. Based in the heart of Germany, we support your projects worldwide.

High-performance production does not always require new technology. In our own workshop, we overhaul suitable used machines, repair sub-assemblies, replace worn components and adapt the technology to your production requirements. 

During a full reconditioning, we tailor the work to the condition of the machine and its intended next use.

What matters. For you and for us.

The right machine has to fit your production.

The product, packaging and performance are just as crucial as the existing technology, spatial conditions and technical interfaces. We consider these factors together and assist you in selecting suitable machines and systems.
