Over the years, our technologies have been incorporated in more than 500 production lines in more than 30 countries. And a remarkable number of them are still in use, many decades after they were built.
When we developed our first waste-to-energy plant back in 1930, it revolutionised waste-disposal techniques. Since then we’ve grown to become one of the world’s leading suppliers of equipment and technologies that turn solid waste and biomass into thermal energy.

Protecting the climate and the environment while producing results for you
In today’s climate and environmentally conscious society, high-quality products alone are not enough to achieve success. It’s also necessary to have broad, multi-disciplinary experience, strong project-management skills, and good empirical designs. By bringing these elements together, we are able to gain the insights needed to ensure the successful completion of today’s sophisticated waste-to-energy and biomass projects.

To meet those expectations and maintain our competitive edge we have developed sophisticated, state-of-the-art equipment and systems based on changing customer needs and our continuing research and development.
