Qlar Returns to the Food and
Animal Feed Industry with a bold
Rebranding
Following its successful rebranding in May 2024, bulk solids expert Schenck Process has returned to the global
food and animal feed market under its new name, Qlar, on September 1, 2025. This re-entry follows the sale
of its Food & Performance Materials (FPM) business unit in 2023 and the termination of the non-compete
agreement with Hillenbrand, Inc. Qlar meets the growing demand for precise, energy-efficient, and hygienic
processing technologies and supports food and animal feed manufacturers in achieving the highest standards
of safety, quality, and efficiency. Customers benefit from comprehensive aftermarket, spare parts, and
maintenance services, as well as new, tailor-made solutions for current industrial challenges.

now back in the global food and pet food

Officer of the Qlar Group. "Our mission at
Qlar is to provide reliable, efficient, and
hygienic process solutions that enable our
