Company Profile
A.B.S. Silo- und Förderanlagen GmbH, headquartered in Osterburken, Germany, traces its origins to the 1980s when founder Adolf Lesk began focusing on a new silotechnologie that replaced metal with durable, flexible fabrics. Over decades, A.B.S. has grown into a globally recognized producer of high-quality, flexible silos and loading equipment, with approximately 100,000 installations in industrial, agricultural, and wood-pellet storage applications. The company emphasizes that its Flex-Silos and GewebeSilos are tailored to the specific properties of the bulk material, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of products and facilities. A.B.S. presents itself as a partner capable of delivering tailored storage solutions that fit precise spatial constraints, with a philosophy of “mehr Platz für Schüttgut, mehr Raum für Partnerschaft.” A.B.S. highlights the use of a high-performance Gewebe (textile fabric) that provides at least sevenfold safety against seams and fabric, and it regularly subjects fabrics and threads to load tests by the Research Institute Hohenstein, underscoring its commitment to reliability and material science. The company’s portfolio centers on Flex-Silos for industrial, agricultural, and wood pellet storage, with solutions designed to handle temperature variations without condensation and to fit through narrow doors for rapid deployment. A.B.S. maintains a strong customer-centric approach, offering bespoke configurations that address the exact requirements of each storage scenario, regardless of the type of bulk material or the available space, ensuring compatibility with existing facilities and workflows. The enterprise has a history of active industry engagement, evidenced by participation in trade fairs and ongoing product enhancements, including materials engineered to sustain long-term performance in varying environmental conditions. A.B.S. communicates a compelling value proposition that combines technical sophistication, modular design, and material science to maximize storage capacity and ensure safe, efficient handling of bulk goods.
