RUF Maschinenbau – Global Leader in Briquetting Systems “Made in Germany”
As a family-run company with over 40 years of experience, we are pioneers and global market leaders in the field of briquetting systems. At our headquarters in Zaisertshofen, Bavaria, more than 190 employees design and manufacture modular hydraulic, mechanical, and extruder briquetting systems – customized for wood, metal, biomass, and many other materials.
Our Mission: Turning Residuals into Resources
Our briquetting presses transform production waste into valuable briquettes. The benefits: significant volume reduction, lower storage and transport costs, recovery of cooling lubricants, increased melting yields, and additional revenue from sellable end products.
Technical Diversity & Process Optimization
We offer a wide range of solutions – from compact plug-and-press units to fully automated 24/7 briquetting systems. Our machines are energy-efficient, durable, and easily integrated into existing production lines.
Sustainability & Quality by Conviction
Sustainability is at the core of our philosophy. Our presses reduce waste, optimize material cycles, and improve environmental performance. We also operate our own photovoltaic system that generates more energy than we consume. “Power made in Germany” stands for premium quality, high in-house manufacturing depth, and long-lasting machines with low wear.

Our company, founded in 1974 under the name of KOÇ KUMLAMA, established its first surface blasting system as a supplier in Turkey and has been contributing to the sector for many years by meeting the demands of the market. KOÇ KUMLAMA has continuously improved in surface treatment in the following years and has kept pace with the developing technologies with vibrators and deburring, polishing and drying abrasives used in these machines since 1993. The company, renamed KAYAKOCVIB in 19..., strengthened its quality and structure prioritizing R&D and continued its production according to the demands of customers by making all necessary preparations to keep pace with the developing and changing market conditions.

The history of the Lehmann company starts in June 1945 when a repair business and workshop was founded in Hammer, near to Pöhl, by Heinz Lehmann. The most straightforward means were used for manufacturing and repairing metal goods for everyday use. The product range was extended for Carl Zeiss Jena, developing a new segment with clamping equipment for the optical industry and even building drives for the domes of observatories.
Construction of the Pöhl dam in 1958 made it necessary to relocate. Nearby Jocketa was selected deliberately because many of the employees from Pöhl also moved there. The Lehmann family also wanted to remain in the heart of the Vogtland region.
In 1972, the new generation of the family entered the business with Thilo Lehmann. Shortly after that, "VEB Carl Zeiss" took a share in the company as a partner, resulting in partial nationalisation. In 1975, Heinz Lehmann was accused of preferring West Germany companies, and imprisoned for 9 months. Gradually, all the "Lehmanns" were prised out of the company. Only in 1977 was the founder of the company completely rehabilitated.
In the course of the reunification of Germany, Heinz and Thilo Lehmann were then able to reprivatize the company on 16 June 1990.
At the end of the 1990s, Markus and Titus Lehmann joined the company as the 3rd generation of the family to join the metal-processing industry. Markus Lehmann became the head of production in his family's company, Titus Lehmann founded his own company and began to manufacture and sell stainless steel grilles.
Over the course of the years, Titus Lehmann developed his company's portfolio - Lehmann-UMT GmbH - on a continuous basis, first by adding activities in sheet metal processing, followed by filter and conveyor technology products. Additional aspects of the company profile today include engineering, 3-D design and special machine construction.
The change to the Renewable Energies Act (EEG) in 2014 caused Thilo Lehmann's Lehmann Maschinenbau GmbH serious financial problems. Consequently, Titus Lehmann decided to buy the production facility in Jocketa, meaning that environmental technology also supplemented the product range of Lehmann-UMT.
Since the end of 2014, the company has been operated with a streamlined structure and the 80 employees from two plants have grown together into a strong team.

Striving for excellence for more than 20 years The roots of INTEC Automation equipment for Industrial Applications grow in the beautiful country of Bavaria in Germany. When a customer asked for a solution to a tricky and complex manufacturing situation the concept of our segment feeder was born. Up until the company exclusively worked in special machine construction. The newly developed product thus was only used for the company’s own manufacturing purposes.
Within the next few years INTEC gained valuable experience and skills in the area of sorting and feeding technology. A lot of time and effort went into refining and perfecting of the segment feeder. Soon the demand for our new product grew and we decided to make it available for other manufacturers so they could benefit from our valuable and uniquely designed product as well.
