INFRANORM Technologie

What INFRANORM Technologie does

INFRANORM Technologie GmbH is a privately held Austrian engineering company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Wels, Upper Austria, that develops and delivers integrated infrastructure technology solutions for industrial manufacturing facilities. The company's flagship offering is the Sustainable Hall Conditioning (SHC) system, a modular platform that combines cooling, heating, ventilation, air purification, and heat recovery into a single solution for industrial halls. The technology foundation is a patented two-stage adiabatic evaporative cooling process using a proprietary 3D honeycomb aluminum lamella structure, which the company reports achieves up to 95% energy reduction versus conventional compression refrigeration, eliminates climate-damaging refrigerants, and operates with up to 60% less moisture input than single-stage systems. A second product family, Production Infrastructure, covers extraction and filter technology, ATEX fire and explosion protection, worker protection, waste heat utilization, process cooling, and emissions protection.

INFRANORM serves large manufacturing customers across heavy industry, steel, automotive, construction, mechanical engineering, and food & beverage, with named enterprise references including Magna, Schaeffler, Benteler, Doka, Andritz, Engel, Böhler, Hammerer, Teufelberger, and Adelholzener, and project-level customers such as Profiform AG, GMT Wintersteller, WIHO Hofbauer, and ITG Induktionsanlagen. The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales supported by a Europe-wide partner network of plant planners, energy consultants, general contractors, and HVAC system integrators. Revenue is generated mainly through project-based turnkey system sales and installation, supplemented by a Smart Services layer that delivers remote monitoring, preventive and predictive maintenance, spare parts management, and long-term maintenance contracts, creating a recurring component on top of one-time project revenue. Pricing is project-based, varying with hall size, internal heat load, air volume flow rates, and system configuration; example simulations cited by the company show annual operating cost reductions from approximately €17,638 (conventional chiller) to €971 (SHC system).

The company operates primarily in the DACH region (Austria, Germany, Switzerland), has a stated headcount of 11–50 employees, and is led by Managing Director/CEO Christian Lindner, MBA, with Gerald Katterbauer as COO. The company appears to be founder-controlled and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external private equity, venture capital, or institutional investors, no parent company, and no public listing. INFRANORM has received multiple industry recognitions, including the Energy Globe Award 2020 (Air category winner), Energy Globe 2024 nomination, IÖB Prize 2020, Environmental Management Prize 2023, Pegasus Business Prize 2025 (Bronze), and ALC Award 2025 (2nd place in Upper Austria), and is an official klimaaktiv partner of the Austrian Climate Protection Initiative.

Core offering

INFRANORM Technologie develops and constructs turnkey industrial infrastructure technology solutions for manufacturing facilities, centered on its patented Sustainable Hall Conditioning (SHC) system. The core offering integrates two-stage adiabatic evaporative cooling, heating, ventilation, heat recovery, and air purification into a modular system for industrial halls, achieving up to 95% energy savings versus conventional compression refrigeration. The company also delivers production infrastructure solutions including extraction and filter technology, fire and explosion protection (ATEX), and engineering services such as Smart Services for plant lifecycle maintenance and remote monitoring.

Product overview

INFRANORM Technologie is a unified industrial infrastructure technology platform organized around two core product families: Sustainable Hall Conditioning (SHC) and Production Infrastructure. SHC is a modular system combining cooling, heating, ventilation, air purification, heat recovery, precision climate control, pre-cooling/retrofit, and photovoltaic integration for year-round hall climate management. Production Infrastructure encompasses extraction and filter technology, fire and explosion protection (ATEX), worker protection, waste heat utilization, process cooling, and emissions protection. The company also offers Smart Services (maintenance and remote monitoring), Building Services Integration, the INFRANOMIC holistic engineering methodology, and a Partner Network. The flagship SHC technology uses patented two-stage adiabatic evaporative cooling with aluminum 3D honeycomb structures to achieve up to 95% energy savings versus conventional compression refrigeration, reaching 19°C supply air at 37°C outdoor temperatures without climate-damaging refrigerants.
