STRIKO

What STRIKO does

STRIKO Verfahrenstechnik GmbH is a privately held German mittelstand industrial-equipment manufacturer founded in 1973 and headquartered in Reichshof-Wehnrath, Germany. The company designs and manufactures three core product lines: rupture discs (Berstscheiben) for pressure relief in pipelines, vessels and apparatus; static mixers for continuous in-line mixing, dispersing, emulsifying and heat exchange; and heat exchangers for thermal processing of viscous to highly viscous media. All rupture-disc production has been 100% in-house since 2009, and the company is certified to ISO 9001:2015 (continuously recertified since 2015) and to the EU Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU Module D.

The technical foundation centers on the patented S-Helical helical mixing-element architecture used in heat exchangers and static mixers, which enables processing at very low Reynolds numbers with anti-fouling behavior, plus the self-cleaning EREstat static mixer variant for food-industry carbonation and aeration. Heat exchangers are designed for media up to 500,000 mPas with capacities up to 2,500 kW; rupture discs cover nominal widths DN 15 to DN 800. The portfolio is supported by accessories (holders, burst indicators/SVT sensors) and services (training and seminars). Recent R&D output includes FEM-based burst-behavior simulation of metallic rupture discs (published May 2026).

STRIKO's customers are industrial process operators in chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, energy and plant-engineering verticals, with named reference customers including INEOS, Biotest, PCK Raffinerie GmbH, CSE Engineering, TH Köln and Universität Siegen. Revenue comes from quote-based sales of custom-engineered capital equipment and from training/seminar services. Go-to-market combines direct field sales in Germany with a network of channel partners and sales representatives covering Australia, BeNeLux, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, South Africa and the Czech Republic; a 2021 digital-sales realignment added online inquiry forms and a refreshed corporate identity. The company has no parent, no external institutional investors and no funded subsidiaries.
