Press releases

The Managing Directors of the subsidiaries met for the 47th time this week at the traditional Schmalz World Management Meeting (WMM) in Glatten. There, they sounded the attack: in 2026, the globally active family company wants to continue to grow. One country received a special motivational injection for this.

Perfect handling of sensitive electronics - with the new suction cup material HT1-ESD from Schmalz. The material releases several critical problems in electronics production at the same time: it leaves hardly any marks on components, reliably protects against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and withstands temperatures up to 170 degrees Celsius.

Wireless communication, limitless possibilities: With IO-Link Wireless, Schmalz is making the factory of tomorrow a reality today. Michael Pojtinger, Head of Business Development Process, Vacuum Automation, explains in an interview why the technology is a game changer for productivity and flexibility.

Schmalz will be closed from Saturday, December 27, 2025 to Sunday, January 4, 2026 for the New Year's holiday.

Due to the implementation of inventory, shipping operations will be suspended all day on Friday, December 12, 2025.

The Glatten-based company has been awarded the Baden-Württemberg Environmental Technology Prize in the "Energy Efficiency" category for its highly efficient and scalable redox flow stack. With this solution, Schmalz is bringing the most powerful stack in Europe onto the market.

Schmalz will exhibit at the 2025 International Robot Exhibition (iREX) to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from December 3, 2025.

Vacuum specialist Schmalz has further developed the VCBL-GL vacuum block. The new generation impresses with a modular design, an extensive spare parts catalog and a wider range of applications - for more flexibility and lower costs over the entire life cycle.

In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Schmalz Japan (Schmalz K.K.) is offering a special price campaign for its vacuum grippers and mobile vacuum balancers.

Dr. Maik Fiedler is a member of the company management and head of the Vacuum Automation business unit at Schmalz. In this interview, he explains the strategic importance of End of Arm Tooling (EOAT) for automation and describes how Schmalz designs the connection between robot and workpiece.

Schmalz will exhibit at Japan Pack (Japan Packaging Industry Exhibition) 2025 to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from October 7, 2025 (Tuesday).

Grip whatever comes your way: Different materials, changing workpieces and increasing cost pressure require systems that can adapt flexibly. With the vacuum area gripping systems FA-X / FA-M, Schmalz is launching two solutions that move parts of all kinds safely and save energy at the same time.
