Schenck Process

World leader in industrial measuring and process technology

At the time of exit, Schenck Process (“the Company”) was one of the global market-leading providers of industrial weighing, feeding, screening and automation equipment and solutions. The Company had significant operations in Europe, North and South America, China and Australia and served a diversified customer base across a wide range of International Business Segments (“IBS”), including Heavy, Light, Mining Power and Transport Automation.

Schenck Process is headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany.

IK acquired Schenck Process in October 2007 via the IK 2007 Fund, and sold to Blackstone in December 2017.
