Siebtechnik and Tema have decided to join up and create Siebtechnik Tema as a way of bolstering the new company’s brand identity in the markets for centrifuges, screening machines, and sampling and preparation systems and components.

The two firms already belong to the same group of companies which also includes South Africa-based Multotec.

The company said: “The main aim of this partnership is to ensure a common brand name as well as the finetuning of the worldwide sales and service structures with production sites and representative offices in Germany, the Netherlands, the US, Great Britain, France, Spain, China and Australia.”

Siebtechnik Tima produces mineral separation and screening equipment for the global coal and fertiliser industries, in addition to hammer- and hammer-impact mills, and channel conveyors.
