For over 100 years, the Schmid & Wezel company has stood for the highest level of precision,
quality and cooperation in a spirit of partnership.
After the Schmid & Wezel company was founded in 1919, the "BIAX" brand was created in 1921, derived from the original product, the Biegsame Welle (BIegsame AX(chs)e).
In the 1930s, the BIAX product technology and experience from the development and production of hand-guided tools for metalworking was transferred to the meat processing application area. This resulted in the product line with the brand name "EFA", short for "Electric Flying Apparatus", which describes the characteristic of the machines to hang ready to hand on spring balancers and to be moved easily and quickly despite their high weight.
For over 100 years, Schmid & Wezel has now stood for the highest quality and exemplary service. The brands "BIAX" and "EFA" are held in high esteem internationally in their respective segments; in the field of slaughtering and cutting, "EFA" even has a leading position in the world market.
Innovative product solutions, high quality of workmanship, comprehensive service and the long availability of spare parts enable an exceptionally long service life of EFA products, not infrequently over 20 years.
"Made in Germany" is considered by "EFA" as a quality promise for sustainable, reliable and always up-to-date products.
Based on our tradition, we will do our utmost today and in the future to continue to offer suitable product solutions and to expand our position in the world market.
Our network of EFA dealers all over the world, with whom we have a long-standing partnership, are a guarantee for this.
Schmid & Wezel has been certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 since 1997.
As a solid medium-sized company with a contemporary corporate structure, with up-to-date machinery and with loyal, motivated and highly valued permanent staff, we look to the future with confidence.
The continuous further development of the product range by an experienced design team in close cooperation with specialists from the meat industry, technical institutes and our customers, as well as competent and long-standing specialists in production, guarantee the efficiency and consistently high quality of our products.
In addition to competent support and advice from trained specialist personnel all over the world, we offer our customers comprehensive specialist service, the rapid execution of maintenance, servicing and repair work, product, repair or user training and the prompt and long-term provision of spare parts and accessories.
