Smart Composite Solutions for Future Infrastructure Projects
First-time inclusion of Schmidt & Heinzmann portfolio in DIEFFENBACHER’s trade fair presence at JEC World 2025
When the international composites industry comes together for JEC World 2025, March 4 to 6, fairgoers will have plenty of reasons to visit the DIEFFENBACHER booth L115 in Hall 5. For starters, DIEFFENBACHER will highlight its expertise as a solutions provider for the infrastructure and construction industry. The most noticeable innovation, however, will be products and solutions from Schmidt & Heinzmann, which DIEFFENBACHER acquired in November 2024.
“We’ll showcase applications for the construction and infrastructure sector from DIEFFENBACHER customer projects, including components for railroad and telecommunications infrastructure, switch cabinets, industrial lamp housings, drainage channels and underground stormwater tanks used as intermediate buffers during heavy rainfall,” explains Marco Hahn,
Director Sales of the Forming Business Unit at DIEFFENBACHER. The latter application will be the focus of thepresentation “Innovative Solutions in Stormwater Management: A sustainable transition to long-fiber thermoplastic for critical stormwater infrastructure,” which Hahn will give with Zacharie Marchildon and Mike Mueller from DIEFFENBACHER’s US customer and partner Xerxes. That will be on Wednesday, March 5, at 4 p.m. on the Agora stage in Hall 5.
With the acquisition of the composites business of Schmidt & Heinzmann GmbH & Co. KG, DIEFFENBACHER received the business’s intangible assets, including design and project documents, intellectual property and business unit know-how. DIEFFENBACHER also took on the business’s 30-plus employees, entire product portfolio and after-sales service responsibilities.
“Visitors to our booth will find advanced Schmidt & Heinzmann SMC solutions in the form of production lines for semi-finished materials, cutting systems, cutting and stacking units and wide roving cutters,” says Michael Ochs, who came to DIEFFENBACHER as part of the acquisition and is now Director Sales Schmidt & Heinzmann at DIEFFENBACHER. “The familiar Schmidt & Heinzmann contacts will also be there to provide expert advice on our products and solutions,” he continues.
Another highlight of DIEFFENBACHER’s trade fair presence is a new augmented reality (AR) application that allows the company to project its composites press systems, including the CompressEco and Fiberpress, into the real environment as a full-size 3D model using a smartphone or tablet. “The app provides an initial realistic impression of how a new press system could be integrated into a greenfield project or an existing plant structure,” explains Hahn.
DIEFFENBACHER will also present its entire range of hydraulic presses. These include the TailoredPress, the economical all-rounder for press forces of up to 10,000 kN; the flexible CompressEco for press forces of 6,300 to 30,000 kN; and the energy-efficient Fiberpress, which can be designed for press forces of 50,000 kN and more. Visitors will also learn about DIEFFENBACHER service capabilities and modernization and automation expertise, and experience a demonstration of the EVORIS digitalization solution.
“Thanks to the integration of Schmidt & Heinzmann, our team has grown in size and quality in recent months,” says Hahn. “That will be evident in our JEC World 2025 presence. We can now respond even better and faster to customer challenges,” he adds. “I’m especially excited to welcome Schmidt & Heinzmann customers to the DIEFFENBACHER booth,” Michael Ochs concludes.
