Competence, Quality and Responsibility
"Made in Germany“
For over 50 years, HSM has stood for innovative solutions in baling presses to reduce the volume of raw materials and in document shredders to destroy data securely – data on paper as well as data on electronic data carriers.
As a medium-sized family company with three manufacturing locations in Germany, we are committed both to this location and to quality “Made in Germany”. Our philosophy "Great Products, Great People“ is embodied in our daily activities and connects us with our customers and partners worldwide.
A Family Company with Responsibility
HSM is an independent family company – characterized by long-term thinking, personal engagement and a sound understanding of values. This corporate culture has formed the foundation of our actions since the company was established in 1971 by Hermann Schwelling and is reflected in the reliability of our products, the respectful way we treat our colleagues and partners as well as our clear commitment to Germany as our location.

Our Production Locations
HSM is committed to Germany as a manufacturing location and to the quality statement “Made in Germany“, which users associate with precision, durability and a good price-performance ratio. HSM manufactures for office and environmental technology at three locations in Germany.
There is around 50,000 m² of space available in Salem, of which approximately 20,000 m² is covered. This plant features a range of departments:
- Baler development
- Project planning
- Electrical environmental technology
- Logistics, material planning
- Work preparation
- Crusher production
- Assembly of large presses and three-phase current paper shredders
- Production of plastics
The Salem plant is equipped with modern machinery comprising CNC laser-cutting equipment, CNC rotary and milling machines, CNC hardening plants, CNC welding robots, injection moulding machines, and surface-coating machinery. Using its own photovoltaic systems HSM generates its own CO2-neutral power to help protect the environment.
The Frickingen plant – only 10 km away from Salem – features space of approx. 25,000 m², including around 12,500 m² of factory and office buildings. This is where the final assembly of the “Made in Germany” document shredders is performed. This results in short distances for the delivery of components from the Salem plant and thus contributes to HSM’s ecological commitments. It is also home to the development of office technology, electrical office technology, central management, procurement, sales, marketing, HSM Academy and customer service.
Reichenbach in Saxony is the centre of expertise for the production of vertical baling presses. Our floorspace of approx. 50,000 m² – including 10,000 m² of factory and office space – is used to produce small horizontal baler presses and vertical baler presses for customers around the world using CNC welding robots and CNC laser-cutting equipment.
