What Klieverik does
Klieverik Heli BV is a Dutch manufacturer of industrial rotary thermoprocessing equipment (calenders and heat presses), headquartered in Deventer, Netherlands, with a manufacturing facility in Oldenzaal and a North America sales branch in Buford, Georgia. Founded over 40 years ago and operating as part of the Geurtsen Group, the company designs, manufactures, installs, and maintains calenders used for dye sublimation and fixation, laminating and coating, non-woven thermobonding, and carpet fusing applications. Its proprietary technology stack centers on an expansion vessel ensuring 100% drum oil fill, the industry's longest belt with PID steering, and a pressureless heating concept delivering +/-1 degree C temperature consistency.
The product portfolio spans four core lines: the GTC-series dye sublimation calenders (including the 5-meter-wide GTC 111-5400 award winner and the entry-level Vertex hybrid), the LFC-series laminating and coating calenders with Ecosafe and PSD options, non-woven thermobonding calenders in LFC/double-drum/NFC configurations, and the CFC carpet fusing calender. Klieverik serves the sign and graphics, sportswear and fashion, interior textile, technical textile, and carpet and flooring industries, with application widths up to 5 meters and configurations for single-piece, roll-to-roll, or hybrid production.
The business model is industrial equipment OEM sales (hardware) supplemented by after-sales installation, training, and maintenance services. Distribution operates exclusively through a global authorized dealer and agent network with direct enterprise engagement via the company-owned North America branch. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are custom per configuration. Klieverik pursues co-development partnerships (TFI for carpet fusing, the PRODUCE consortium for composites) and collaborates with digital print ecosystem players (HP, Summa, Ergosoft) on webinars and joint demos at major trade shows including FESPA, Techtextil, Printing United, and ITMA.
