Lipmmann History | Lippmann Crushers

Our Story

Lippmann began 100 years ago designing and building high quality, heavy, durable custom static crushing plants tailored to our customers’ specific needs. We then transitioned to building standardized portable models. The introduction of Lippmann tracked crushers, screeners and stackers was a natural step in the evolution of Lippmann.

Understanding the customer and their business goals has been the cornerstone of our success. This close relationship is integral in choosing tracked mobile solutions as well. We have kept our premium quality philosophy and built our reputation on it by designing, building and supporting the heaviest and most durable machines in the industry.

To me Lippmann Means Quality, I see repairs come back here that have been in the field working for 50 years or more.

Working for a company you believe in is gratifying. Regardless of what position employees performed at Lippmann, knowing you were a part of the 100 years of history is a significant moment to be proud of.

My career at Lippmann is a major part of my journey in life. I’m proud to be part of something as historic and important as Lippmann. Many aspects of society rely on the processing equipment Lippmann builds.
