Delivering tobacco machinery of tomorrow

The ITM Group dates back to 1897, when the Van der Sluis family started a cigar manufacturing company in Kampen. The company shifted towards trading and overhauling of cigar machinery and became SCM (Sluis Cigar Machinery). In 1967, sister company ITM was founded to target the cigarette industry. The development of ITM included starting a machine overhauling company in Eindhoven and a primary machinery company in Losser. In the 1980s, a production site for packing lines was established in the United Kingdom.

In 1991, a new ITM production site was established in Poland. This site has been developing new machines for all production phases in primary and secondary logistics. In 1997, the department specialized in making custom machine parts was split off into the independent company PMP.In 1997, the Swiss company TDC was acquired. This company specializes in RYO products and was moved to Kampen, also taking over the RYO packing activities of SCM. Today, the ITM Group consists of production sites, regional offices and service centers worldwide. A total of 700 employees are devoted to serve ITM's customers with innovative products and solutions.
