SCHEGO was founded in Offenbach in 1949 by Fritz Schemel and Kurt Goetz. Its name combines their surnames and preserves the link to a German business specializing in small electromechanical apparatus. From its early products, the company developed enduring expertise in diaphragm pumps and heating, retaining Offenbach am Main as the base of the entity now registered as SCHEGO Schemel & Goetz GmbH & Co. KG.
For aquatics it supplies air pumps across different flow and pressure classes, titanium heaters, thermostats, pond ice-prevention systems, and air-distribution accessories. Diaphragm pumps also serve laboratory, medical, and technical applications requiring continuous flow and compact construction. Separating the heating element from thermostatic control allows configurations suited to different aquariums and reservoirs.
SCHEGO emphasizes German manufacturing and the ability to adapt pumps and components to professional requirements. Its longevity comes not from an extremely broad catalogue but from repeated specialization in the same physical functions: moving air or liquids and transferring heat under control. The official history states both 1949 and the two founders; the current legal form and product range are the evolution of that original partnership.
