HZI Steinmüller
Our Company
In 1874, the town of Gummersbach witnessed the first construction of an L. & C. Steinmüller steam boiler, which would go on to shape the development of the modern boiler throughout Europe. The brothers understood the fundamental principles of building a business from the ground upwards. It was evident that the business wouldn’t flourish if they weren’t daring in their deals, intuitive in their inventions, and with a lot of temerity in their technical approach.
From then on, HZI Steinmüller has adopted this attitude as its own, knowing no bounds and seeding new ideas, the company has launched many successful innovations into the industry field, such as the first industrial SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) large-scale plant in Europe, the Inconel cladding used in a Waste to Energy plant, and the world’s first water-cooled grate. All of these technologies stand as evidence that we have continued to pave the way as the Steinmüller brothers did many years before.

“How can the quantities of waste arising be treated in an environmentally friendly and energy efficient manner?”
Progress Requires a Foundation to Support the Growth.
Our plants offer a solution to one vital question of our century: “How can the world’s waste be treated in an environmentally friendly and energy efficient manner?” Progress requires a foundation to support the growth. The journey can only be made possible by highly qualified employees, who are supported by a well-established process, and accompanied by all necessary certifications. It goes without saying that we work on the basis of a management system in accordance with DIN ISO 9001.
