Our Company

History of Schlumpf, now Double E Group

Since its incorporation in 1992, Schlumpf has established itself as a global leader in the design, engineering and manufacturing of technically innovative and efficiency enhancing solutions for the rolled goods manufacturing, converting and material handling markets.

Schlumpf's comprehensive material handling product line includes an impressive range of Roll Handling and Shaft Handling equipment. Schlumpf also offers a wide variety of general material handling products for all business segments including powered forklift and fork truck movers, drum handlers, pallet stackers, pallet trucks, lift tables and roll upenders.

Schlumpf also has extensive expertise in custom-engineered material handling solutions. From crane-supported and free moving roll handling solutions to shaft-handling solutions for your specific shaft brand to innovative solutions to the most demanding material handling challenges - Schlumpf has a solution that will increase safety and productivity.

Schlumpf designs and manufactures heavy duty core chucks for holding rolls on roll processing applications. The expanding core chuck system offers unparalleled precision and versatility in high speed or high tension shaftless unwinding and rewinding applications where little or no variation in web tension or web position can be tolerated. Our core chucks provide superior roll/core gripping abilities with a high capacity actuating design. Our core chucks are ideal for new or rebuild unwind and rewind stand applications. Schlumpf’s engineering and production team ensures your new chucks are direct dimensional replacements for your retrofit or rebuild application.

As of 2025, Schlumpf will be operating under the Double E Group name while remaining unchanged in team structure or great product offerings from the Portland, Maine location. This is the next step along a historic path of innovation, quality and excellence in manufacturing in the material handling and safety markets. Supported by Double E Group's extensive international sales force, the team can meet the material handling and safety demands of companies worldwide.
