What Schmid AG, energy solutions does

Schmid AG, energy solutions is a Swiss family-owned industrial manufacturer founded in 1936 and headquartered in Eschlikon, Switzerland. The company designs, produces, and services wood-fired biomass combustion heating systems and heat pumps, with a product range spanning residential log wood boilers (15–80 kW), commercial and industrial biomass combustion plants up to 8 MW, and air/water and ground source heat pumps up to 3,200 kW. It serves six distinct verticals — single-family and multi-family homes, commercial and public buildings, industry and district heating networks, agriculture and forestry, and wood processing companies — across more than 25 countries in Europe, North America, Asia, Oceania, and South America.

Core technology is built around proprietary combustion controls, principally the Lambda Control 3 (LC 3) system with vacuum regulation, Lambda sensing, and an EC induced draft fan optimized for partial-load operation. The portfolio includes the Novatronic XV, Zyklotronic XV², and Easytronic XV² log wood boilers; the UTSD (35–260 kW), UTSR Visio (180–8,000 kW), and UTSK Visio (180–900 kW) biomass combustion systems; the proprietary SaveEnergy flue gas condenser for waste-heat recovery from exhaust gases via injected process water droplets; an absorption heat pump integrated with flue gas condensation from 1,000 kW upward; and distributed heat pumps from NIBE, Kronoterm, and Ochsner. The PersonalTouch Visio control system enables online remote monitoring of plant behavior. Manufacturing is partially in-house, including worm-extractor production at Schmid Polska Sp. z o.o. in Elbląg, Poland, and KÖB legacy retrofit kits are produced at Hohenems, Austria.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of heating systems and heat pumps, supplemented by recurring after-sales service, maintenance contracts, spare parts (with webshop ordering and warehouses in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria), and training services priced at CHF 325/EUR 300 per attendee. The go-to-market combines direct regional sales consultants in Switzerland with wholly-owned subsidiaries in Germany, France, Austria, Poland, and Canada, and an extensive network of country-specific distribution partners worldwide. In March 2026, Schmid merged with Austria-based Mawera GmbH to form the Schmid Mawera Group, creating a European market leader in medium-power biomass energy with combined revenue of approximately CHF 180 million and 680 employees.
