NETZSCH Group is a mid-sized, family-owned German industrial group founded in 1873 and headquartered in Selb. It employs more than 4,800 people across 210 locations in 36 countries, and supplies machinery and instruments to customers in nearly every industry. The company traces its origins to a small workshop run by brothers Thomas and Christian Netzsch, which made fire-fighting pumps and agricultural machines.
The group is organised into three business units operating independently within a holding structure. Analyzing & Testing develops high-precision instruments for thermal analysis, rheology and fire testing. Grinding & Dispersing provides machinery for wet and dry grinding, mixing and dispersing. Pumps & Systems offers positive displacement pumps and solutions for handling complex media. Technical work spans these fields alongside high-precision analytical instrumentation.
Ownership has remained with the founding family across five generations. The company describes its guiding principle as "Proven Excellence", and cites trust, professionalism, fairness and loyalty as values held since its founding. It positions itself as combining regional roots with global reach, and 150 years of tradition with forward-thinking innovation.
