The company DEGUMA

DEGUMA is a medium-sized mechanical engineering company specializing in machines for the rubber and plastics processing industry.

Team DEGUMA

Although mostly invisible in our day-to-day life, hoses, windshield wipers, window seals and other rubber materials are all around us - and it is impossible to imagine our lives without them. For processing, e.g., mixing, molding and vulcanizing rubber, special machines are needed and that is what we specialize in.

Our customers’ greatest concern is smooth and uninterrupted production. We have set ourselves the goal of fulfilling this wish for our customers: from a nearly maintenance-free mixing mill and safety training for users, to service work and retrofits from our technical experts.

We are continuously developing new machines and services to ensure that our customers spend as little time possible dealing with the machines themselves. In development, we rely on cooperation at eye level. Cooperation and co-innovation instead of competition and isolation. This is the only way we can solve the real challenges of processing and application.

How we work

Whether for a small family business, a medium-sized company, or a corporate group, we are the contact for all company sizes and find solutions for almost all challenges. Flexibility and continuous adaptation to current circumstances is what sets us apart.

We rely on partnership-based cooperation at eye level from people to people, instead of hierarchies and rigid structures. Accordingly, mindful, appreciative, and self-responsible cooperation with our customers and colleagues as well as suppliers and service providers form the basis of our activities. We strive for joint and sustainable development orientation to ensure that we can shape a prosperous and viable future.

Mixing mills - safe and energy-saving

For quick heating with an entry-level model or producing the perfect mix with our DEGUMA neo premium machine, we build the right mixing mill for different budgets and applications. The quality is the same, the difference is the technology.

Sustainability by modernizing used machines

Using machines for as long as possible is the most sustainable form of production. However, at some point these machines are no longer in line with current energy efficiency, control, and safety standards. That is where we come in: We equip used machines with state-of-the-art drive, control and safety technology and offer the following advantages:

  • Longer service life
  • Safe operation
  • Low energy consumption

This concept is called DEGUMA efficiency. Our strength in combining the latest technology with tried and tested tools and methods forms the basis for this service. Since our founding in 1990, we have focused on the refurbishment, overhaul, and modernization of used machines from all European manufacturers.

Machine safety

When working on machines, protecting employees is paramount. This means that machines must be equipped accordingly, and users must be adequately trained. We take care of this. We always stay up to date on current regulations and provide consultation on necessary retrofits, implementing them if required and instructing users.

We shape the future

Unexpected developments constantly present us with new challenges, while technological progress, on the other hand, offers a wealth of potential. We focus on harnessing this potential to develop new solutions for our customers and the industry, to ensure DEGUMA's continued success, and to add value to society. In specific terms, this means we are developing digital manuals to carry out repairs remotely, adapting our products, processes and activities based on Social Development Goals, testing future forms of work with the Technical University of Ilmenau, and much more.

We have been active in the industry for over 30 years and have now formulated a vision for 2030. Machines have a long service life, and we plan on providing spare parts and modernizations even in more than 30 years.
