“Our team looks back on 20 years of experience in the development and sales of sorting machines for pellets or plastic granules as well as their production and processing”
SORTCO – the specialist
Since its foundation in 2015, the Hamburg-based SORTCO GmbH & Co. KG has been successfully operating as a professional service provider for sifting, dedusting, sorting and metal separation of plastic granules and granular raw materials.
We are continuously expanding our sorting lines and always keep our production facilities at the cutting edge of technology.
In order to meet the individual requirements of our customers, we cooperate with special sorting machine manufacturers. Since our foundation, we have continuously expanded our team with new employees in the areas of production and process engineering.
In the meantime, we are not only active for our customers as a contract sorter, but rather also see ourselves as a team of experts for all questions concerning the quality of their products before or after the processing process

Our philosophy
Why have it sorted at SORTCO?
During the production of plastic pellets, partial material burns are unavoidable. To give manufacturers and processors full control over the visual quality of their raw materials, SORTCO inspects every single pellet and separates out defective pellets. Everything we do is about challenging the status quo to achieve the best results. We believe in thinking differently.
We love what we do. That’s why we make the service of “optical sorting” easy and safe for us and for our customers. We successfully separate black specks and discolorations. But we also remove dust, angel hair, metallic particles and other contaminants in the process. We are technically very innovative and use advanced technologies, but in addition we always look at the complex problems of our clients from new perspectives. As a result, we find solutions that feel good to our contacts. Our solutions usually lead to the highest possible optical quality of raw materials.
Our customers in turn deliver optically sophisticated, but above all defect-free plastic granules or products to their customers with a high degree of certainty. They build long-term trust and conquer new markets. They use our service because they are worth it and want to exclude image damage in advance. Instead of spending money on complaints, they use the newly gained potential and develop, for example, new inspiring products.
Everything we do, we do out of passion. We are successful and we believe in our future success because our customers always benefit from visual sorting. Even before we start a business relationship, our own values and beliefs match the values and beliefs of our customers. Otherwise, there is no point in working together. We work to inspire people to do things that inspire themselves. Sustainable success for our people, our company, and our customers drives us again and again. We believe that this gives our customers a stable basis of trust, which they confirm to us again and again through their loyalty.
