Industrial powder pressing and forming machinery with digital automation services
DORST Technologies manufactures specialized powder pressing and ceramic forming equipment for mid-market industrial customers globally. The tech stack reveals a traditional industrial-automation profile—SAP, IEC 61131 PLC controls, WinCC SCADA, and CAD tools (SolidWorks, Creo)—rather than modern cloud infrastructure, consistent with their core business: custom machinery and on-site commissioning. Hiring is concentrated in engineering and sales (14 of 22 roles), with projects spanning machine controls, automation integration, and spare-parts logistics, suggesting a transition toward after-sales service revenue and digital service expansion.
DORST Technologies designs and manufactures powder pressing and ceramic forming equipment, serving the powder metallurgy and advanced ceramics industries across industrialized markets. Founded in 1860 and based in Kochel am See, Bavaria, the company operates as a partnership with 201–500 employees, primarily in Germany. Their offering spans custom machinery, process engineering (from powder prep through downstream integration), hardware and software packages for Industry 4.0 and IoT monitoring, preventive maintenance programs, and global on-site support. Active projects include machinery commissioning in domestic and international markets, spare-parts sales channels, and new material research for equipment durability.
SAP for ERP, IEC 61131 and WinCC for PLC/SCADA control, C/C++ and ABAP for software, SolidWorks/Creo/Inventor for CAD, and Windows/Linux for infrastructure—typical industrial-automation and machinery-design tooling.
Currently hiring in Germany only, despite serving customers globally, suggesting local product engineering and support operations.
