Schwarz Global Consulting was founded in 1998 to provide consulting services to the hydrometallurgical industry. These services include process development and optimization as well as the design of small, fine chemicals manufacturing facilities.

In May 2000, SGC was approached by Loedige to act as their agent in Southern Africa. With this partnership SGC has become able to offer mixing, reaction and drying systems for a large variety of applications and industries including food, plastics, environmental and pharmaceuticals. With the addition of Flottweg's solid-liquid separation systems to the range of represented equipment in May 2003, SGC is now able to provide solutions to a wider range of process problems. Flottweg's range of decanter centrifuges are highly respected throughout the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, environmental and polymer industries.
