Harald Emde’s company was founded in August 1980. The first and initially only manufactured product, the EMDE LIFT flexible screw conveyor, laid the foundation for a company which is now known globally far beyond the borders of Germany with a variety of spheres of action in all industries.

In the early years, the product range was rapidly extended to further plant components for handling bulk materials, etc. In the mid-80s, the big bag became a popular container for transporting bulk materials. Corresponding filling and emptying stations were developed at the same time.

In 1986, the drilling technology range for anchor drilling was added to the production spectrum. This was quickly extended with further important mainstays (large-pile, exploratory and geothermal drilling).
In the same year, a toolmaking company specialising in the manufacture of LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) moulds was bought on account of its highly interesting and innovative technology.

In 2000, the expertise of a company based in Wurzen/Saxony was bought in. At the time of the takeover, the company had 30 employees; it now employs three times as many producing conveyor technology for mass bulk materials mainly for the construction material, salt and fertiliser industries.

At the Stassfurt location, a large company with its own foundry was acquired as part of a management buyout in 2005. Primary focus is the production of torque tube devices such as kilns, drying chambers, condenser, calciner and vessels, as well as wind power components and heavy cast parts weighting up to 60 t each. Customers are served in different industries at which the emphasis is in the chemical, Energy and waste recycling industry as well as the machinery and equipment business.

In 2018, the locations Nentershausen (drilling engineering & production) and Stassfurt (drilling & plant construction) are acquired by DI Mittelstand, an independent, German owner-managed Holding company. In this combination, both sites and their respective teams are established and developed as independent, stand-alone specialists in the areas of drilling technology as well as plant engineering and construction.

Products by EMDE Bohrtechnik

We deliver all tools and equipment associated with drilling technology. In the planning stages of your project we help you design a concept and create a plan for the construction. Afterwards, we produce the required machines. Thus, individually designed technology is manufactured to support in your construction project.

Let us introduce some of the different drilling technologies and methods we offer:

Anchor drilling: For slope stabilization, rear anchorage for construction pit support and other applications. We offer different kinds of anchor drilling technology, tools and more.
Discharge preventer systems: These systems are used to protect surrounding areas as the borehole cuttings are channeled, separated and disposed of.
Geothermal drilling: Used when geothermal sensors need to be inserted into drill holes.
High-pressure injections (HPI): This method is also called jet grouting and is used to improve the in-situ soil. EMDE delivers the necessary tools.
Kelly drilling: EMDE offers you all tools and accessories associated with Kelly drilling, such as Kelly bars and much more.
Auger drilling: Different kind of drilling methods are possible with auger drilling tools by EMDE. Find out more!
Soil mixing: A special system used for producing drilling pipes by mixing soil and a cement suspension. Learn everything you need to know about the method.
Friction welding: Used to create connections between different materials. At EMDE we use this procedure for our own equipment, but we also offer the service for our clients.
Used tools: Find a selection of second-hand drilling tools and equipment.
