More than a decade after acquiring Schuler, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of presses for the metal forming and automotive industry, Andritz is taking the next step towards integration. The company has announced that Schuler will be renamed Andritz Schuler. The company says the joint market presence will ensure transparency and make it easier for customers to access integrated solutions.

“Schuler will remain as a product brand and will continue to be maintained as Andritz Schuler presses. The names of the Schuler Group companies are given the prefix Andritz. This integration also documents Schuler’s transformation from a press manufacturer to an integrated solution provider in forming and handling technology. This makes it easier for customers to recognise integrated solutions from Andritz and gives them faster access to expertise in the group,” said Schuler CEO Martin Drasch.

“The number of joint projects with other Andritz companies has increased significantly as a result of our battery activities. The customer benefits of our joint presence are evident.”

Joachim Schönbeck, president and CEO of Andritz, concluded: “Schuler is a name that stands for top performance in press engineering, and our customers can continue to rely on that in the future.”
