Kremsmueller Anlagenbau

What Kremsmueller Anlagenbau does

Kremsmueller Anlagenbau GmbH is an Austrian, family-owned industrial plant construction group headquartered in Steinhaus bei Wels, Austria, founded in 1961 as a personnel-staffing provider for welders, fitters, and mechanics. From the early 1970s it transitioned into project-based industrial assembly, pipeline construction, apparatus and pressure-vessel fabrication, E-MSR (instrumentation and control) technology, and telecommunications infrastructure, now serving more than 1,600 employees across Austria, Germany (Chemnitz — via Kremsmueller Anlagenbau Deutschland GmbH and the acquired Max Straube Industrierohrleitungsbau GmbH), and Romania (Ploiesti).

The group's core technology stack combines heavy fabrication, certified welding (EN ISO 3834-2, ASME S/U/U2, EN 1090, EN 15085), and process-engineering know-how. It operates a Technikum pilot plant for evaporation/drying verification, a thin-film-evaporator line, and a recently scaled industrial heat-pump product capable of producing process heat up to 200°C from waste-heat sources. Manufactured products include shell-and-tube heat exchangers up to 19 meters, 226-tonne shift reactors, pressure vessels, storage tanks, and thermal storage systems. The in-house Karl Kremsmueller Welding Academy trains up to 20 persons simultaneously, underpinning certified delivery.

Kremsmueller generates revenue through project-based EPC contracts, plant and pipeline construction services, manufactured apparatus and pressure vessels, personnel leasing, and E-MSR/telecom installation — sold primarily through direct enterprise sales to industrial majors such as voestalpine, Egger, Andritz Hydro, ÖBB INFRA, Aurubis, Borealis Agrolinz, TIWAG, A1 Telekom Austria, and ORS. The disclosed service mix is 35% pipeline construction, 30% I&C, 20% personnel/maintenance, and 15% apparatus and tank construction. Pricing is quote-based for projects; the training academy publishes per-course fees (e.g., EUR 1,300 for 10-day welding fundamentals). Kremsmueller's stated service portfolio spans Energy & Environment, Petrochemicals, Metallurgy, Paper & Cellulose, Chemicals & Pharma, Food & Beverages, and IT & Infrastructure.
