About Logemann Baler
Machines Built to Last. Values Built to Endure.
Founded in 1882, Logemann Baler has been building heavy-duty baling equipment for more than 140 years—long before planned obsolescence became an accepted business model. From the beginning, the company was built on principles of integrity, durability, and pride in workmanship, values that continue to guide how Logemann designs, builds, and supports its machines today.
Many Logemann machines installed decades ago remain in active service, often running with the same cycle times and performance they delivered on day one. That longevity is not accidental. It reflects an engineering philosophy focused on lifecycle value, serviceability, and disciplined design—rather than short-term optimization.
A Legacy of Independent Engineering
Logemann has remained independently owned by design. Today, the company is proudly fourth-generation managed, allowing decisions to be made with a long-term view—prioritizing quality, safety, and performance over quarterly targets.
Independence gives Logemann the freedom to engineer machines that are built to last for decades, not product cycles. Many Logemann systems continue operating through second and third owners, valued as durable capital assets rather than disposable equipment.
This continuity has allowed Logemann to refine its core focus over generations: building balers that perform reliably in demanding environments and deliver sustained value throughout their service life.
Engineering Discipline Over One-Size-Fits-All
From its earliest machines to today’s modern systems, Logemann has engineered around material behavior—not generic force ratings. This material-first approach recognizes that different scrap streams behave differently, and that density, downstream yield, and bale integrity matter as much as raw compaction force.
That discipline is evident across Logemann’s product portfolio, where each baler architecture is purpose-built for specific materials, operating environments, and downstream requirements. The result is equipment designed to perform consistently in real-world industrial conditions, not just on paper.
Built for Service, Designed for Generations
Logemann machines are engineered with serviceability built into the core design. Wear systems, hydraulic layouts, and control architectures are designed to be accessed, maintained, upgraded, and rebuilt—extending machine life and protecting customer investment.
This approach reduces downtime, lowers lifetime operating costs, and allows Logemann systems to evolve alongside changing production needs rather than being replaced outright.
It’s why Logemann continues to support machines decades after installation, providing parts, refurbishment, and engineering expertise long after others have exited the picture.
Ownership, Accountability, and the Future
As Logemann transitions to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), the company is reinforcing a long-held belief: the people who build and support the machines should share directly in the value they create.
Employee ownership strengthens accountability, continuity, and pride in workmanship—benefits that extend directly to customers. When the people responsible for engineering, manufacturing, and service have a long-term stake in performance, outcomes improve across the board.
Our Core Values
Making a difference by building machines that last for generations—done right, on purpose.
Material Comes First
We engineer around material behavior, downstream yield, and bale density—not generic force ratings. When the material performs better, our customers win.
Quality Over Short-Term Profit
As an independent, family-founded company, we prioritize craftsmanship, safety, and durability over quarterly returns. Our name is on every machine, and we intend to stand behind it for generations.
Service Is Part of the Machine
Support doesn’t end at installation. From wear systems and upgrade paths to diagnostics and refurbishment, we design our machines to be supported, improved, and kept productive over their entire life.
Partnership, Not Transactions
We work alongside our customers as long-term partners—helping them reduce downtime, improve yield, and increase the value of their scrap streams. Shared success is the only success that lasts.
Ownership and Accountability
As we transition to employee ownership, we believe the people who build and support our machines should share in the value they create. Ownership drives pride, accountability, and better outcomes for our customers.
Integrity in Everything We Do
We do what we say we will do—on the shop floor, in the field, and over the life of the machine. Trust is earned through consistent action, not claims.
