Scheuch

What Scheuch does

Scheuch is an Austrian, family-owned industrial original equipment manufacturer founded in 1963 in Aurolzmünster, specializing in air pollution control and environmental technology for heavy industry. The company designs, engineers, manufactures, and commissions complete systems for dust removal, emission extraction, conveying, and flue gas cleaning, serving customers across industrial minerals, energy, metals, wood-based panels, glass, and wood processing. Core product lines include SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) exhaust-gas cleaning technology, the TACO₂ CO₂ separation platform (a State Innovation Award winner in 2025), biomass power-plant (BSP) air-cleaning systems, and exhaust-air purification systems, with a dedicated sub-brand Scheuch LIGNO for the wood-panel sector.

The group's vertically integrated model combines four wholly-owned operating subsidiaries — Scheuch GmbH (core operations), Scheuch Components GmbH (in-house component manufacturing including fans and filters), Scheuch LIGNO GmbH, and Scheuch s.r.o. in Slovakia — to control critical parts of the value chain. Scheuch runs an enterprise field-sales GTM targeting large industrial customers via multi-year, custom-engineered turnkey projects spanning consultation, engineering, manufacturing, assembly, commissioning, and after-sales service. Revenue streams combine one-time project hardware sales with recurring service and component supply. FY2024 revenue reached €317 million (8% year-over-year growth), supported by approximately 1,440–1,500 employees across roughly 20 branches on multiple continents.

Customer evidence includes named deployments such as Timberlab (Oregon, USA) for the largest BSP plant in North America and SDI Biocarbon Solutions (Columbus, Mississippi) for exhaust air cleaning. Recent strategic moves include a €30 million digitalization investment (DIGI-Cube, 2022), new offices in Linz and Wels, a Slovakia capacity expansion, and a planned testing center at Aurolzmünster. The company is led by CEO Stefan Scheuch with Co-CEO Heinz Autischer and CFO Thomas Eberl. No external institutional investors are evidenced in the source material.

Broad incumbents

• Babcock & Wilcox: B&W supplies emissions control technologies (SCR, dry sorbent injection, fabric filters) for power and industrial plants, with overlap in the cement and power generation verticals served by Scheuch. Larger and more diversified peer.
• GEA Group: GEA is a large German industrial process technology group with separation, dust collection, and emissions control solutions for dairy, food, and chemical process industries. Adjacent product portfolio and customer overlap as a broad incumbent rather than a specialist.
• Dürr AG: Dürr's Clean Technology Systems (formerly Homag / environmental technology) supplies exhaust air purification, paint overspray separation, and VOC abatement systems, particularly for the wood and automotive industries. Comparable to Scheuch's wood-based panel and industrial emissions control work.
• ANDRITZ: ANDRITZ is an Austrian-headquartered broad industrial group with a Separation division covering solid-liquid separation and air filtration technology. Overlaps with Scheuch in air pollution control and dust collection, but as part of a wider portfolio rather than as a specialist.

Direct peers

• FLSmidth: FLSmidth is a Danish global supplier to the cement and minerals industries, with a substantial air pollution control and filtration portfolio (dust collection, FGD, SCR). It is a direct peer given Scheuch's strong positioning in cement industry SCR and dust removal systems.
• CTP Chemisch Thermische Prozesstechnik: CTP is an Austrian specialist in thermal process technology and industrial emissions control (DeNOx/SCR, thermal oxidizers). Comparable Austrian DACH-headquartered peer focused on similar exhaust gas cleaning and air pollution control solutions.
• Clyde Bergemann Power Group: Clyde Bergemann designs and supplies air pollution control systems (SCR, FGD, ESP) and material handling for the power and industrial sectors. Direct peer with overlapping technology stack and customer overlap.
• Hamon: Hamon is a Belgian-headquartered engineering group with a dedicated Air Quality Systems division delivering FGD, SCR, and dust collection for power and industrial customers. Highly comparable in product offering, regulatory drivers, and customer base to Scheuch.
• Thermax Limited: Thermax's Environment & Energy business supplies industrial air pollution control, waste heat recovery, and flue gas cleaning systems globally. Comparable peer with similar target verticals (cement, metals, power) and product portfolio.

Emerging players

• Anguil Environmental Systems: Anguil is a US-based industrial air pollution control specialist focused on thermal and catalytic oxidizers and air abatement systems. A smaller, niche-focused peer competing for similar industrial customers with comparable abatement technology.
