What ITG Induction Systems does

ITG Induktionsanlagen GmbH (doing business as ITG Induction Systems) is a Hirschhorn/Neckar-based, German specialist designer and manufacturer of custom induction heating systems for industrial thermal metal processing. Founded in 2003 as part of the diversified SYSTEC Unternehmensgruppe of Karlstadt, the company operates from a single headquarters with approximately 110 employees and maintains commissioned sales/service agents in China, Austria, Sweden and India.

The product portfolio spans four layers: (i) hardening, annealing and tempering systems (vertical and horizontal hardening machines, chain hardening systems, pipe hardening systems up to 450 mm diameter and 7 t/h, and single bar quench & temper lines); (ii) thermal metal-processing systems (wire and band heating, forging, and melting furnaces up to 1,000 kg hydraulically tiltable, including vacuum melting for precious metals such as platinum alloys); (iii) core components developed and built in-house — ITH transistorised high-frequency generators (MosFet, 100–1000 kHz), ITPA medium-frequency IGBT converters (50 Hz–100 kHz, up to multi-MW), ITPC compact converters (6–100 kHz, up to 50 kW), and custom water-cooled copper coils/inductors; and (iv) supporting services including a rental converter pool (25–1500 kW, 0.5–350 kHz), used-plant resale, in-house contract hardening, energy-efficiency and cooling-water consulting, and global spare-parts distribution.

The business model is engineering-intensive enterprise direct sales of bespoke capital equipment, supplemented by usage-based rental, professional services (commissioning, maintenance, training), and one-time spare-parts sales. GTM combines dedicated in-house sales, rental, after-sales and service departments with international agency partners, channeled primarily through industry trade shows (Tube Düsseldorf 2026, wire & Tube China 2026, HärtereiKongress), technical publications, and a modest LinkedIn/Instagram/Facebook presence. Customers span steel producers, automotive and supplier industries, mechanical and plant engineering, R&D institutions, precious-metal processors, and (per segment listings) semiconductor manufacturers; the publicly disclosed flagship customer is Georgsmarienhütte, recipient of the EVA I and EVA II induction hardening systems delivered in March 2026. Revenue and ownership details are not publicly disclosed; the company holds DIN EN ISO 9001 certification.
