Satarem

What Satarem does

Satarem is a privately held Swiss-domiciled industrial engineering company founded in 1992 that designs, manufactures, and commissions equipment and turnkey plants for the cement, waste-to-energy, renewable energy, and oil & gas sectors. Its cement portfolio centers on patented process technologies — high-efficiency grate coolers, SAT ball mills (under 20 kWh/t power consumption), preheaters/precalciners, pneumatic conveying systems, and bag filters — delivered both as retrofits (over 100 cooler modifications worldwide) and as full EPC turnkey projects. The company has expanded its platform into waste-to-energy combustion (Hong Kong Green Island pilot 2005), wave power (Passat OWC), and an EESCO-based P2E2 service model, and supplies a broad oil & gas equipment catalog (drilling rigs, jack-up and semi-submersible rigs, drilling ships, pumping units, mud pumps, water treatment systems, drill pipe, and petroleum vehicles).

Satarem's customers are predominantly large global cement producers (LAFARGE, HOLCIM, ITALCEMENTI, HEIDELBERGER, CIMPOR, VICAT, GIC, CEMEX), supplemented by energy and mining majors (BHP, EDF) and municipal/governmental waste management entities. The company delivers through direct enterprise sales supported by 13 offices and subsidiaries across Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa, China, Hong Kong, and India — the latter via a 2010 joint venture with Shivrams Associates. Revenue is generated through project-based turnkey contracts, one-time equipment sales, retrofit/professional services engagements, and managed-service WtE arrangements; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The business is founder-led (Jérôme Friler and Adolf Wong) with SATAREM CHINA LTD. (H.K.) serving as the financial holding company for all subsidiaries since 2006. With 11-50 employees, the company operates as a specialized project integrator leveraging a global office footprint and partner/JV structures rather than as a large in-house engineering workforce. No public financial disclosures, funding rounds, or institutional investors are documented in the available source material.
