Schroeder Valves celebrates 125 years

September 2015 News

In 2015, Schroeder Valves celebrated 125 years of business. The history of the global specialist for protective pump fittings began in 1889, when Heinrich Schroeder established H. Schroeder & Co. in Gummersbach, a rural community east of Cologne, Germany. Up to the end of World War II, the company manufactured agricultural equipment.

Protective pump fittings since 1950

In 1950 Schroeder started to design and produce protective pump fittings. In subsequent decades, the company expanded and optimised its portfolio with several new developments. Today Schroeder Valves offers a wide range of products, from throttles and automatic recirculation valves, to high-pressure control valves. Each product is custom designed and renowned by customers around the globe for their exceptional quality, excellent reliability and a long service life.

Still family owned

Throughout its history, Schroeder remained family owned and operated with Axel Muecher taking over the leadership in 2005 after the retirement of his father. Under Muecher’s leadership, Schroeder successfully pursued international expansion and grew rapidly. In 2010, the company opened the doors to a new state-of-the-art factory which doubled its operating capacity. The new headquarters positions Schroeder to respond to the growing global demand for its products.
