What Ibau hamburg does

IBAU HAMBURG (legal name: IBAU HAMBURG Ingenieurgesellschaft Industriebau mbH) is a Hamburg-based engineering, plant design, and EPC-contracting firm founded in 1975 and operating as a 100% subsidiary of HAVER & BOECKER since 1997. The company specializes in bulk material handling and storage technology for powdered mineral products, serving the cement, minerals, and thermal power industries. Its product portfolio centers on the proprietary Original Central Cone Silo (developed in 1975) and spans multi-compartment silos, central cone blending silos, marine cement terminals, custom-built small terminals, and a broad component line including flow-control gates, rotary bottom and side dischargers, screw pumps, two-way valves, jet conveyors, airlifts, airslide systems, and self-discharging cement carriers. Mixing technology comprises IBAU Flow-through Mixers (IB-DM, continuous, for mass cement with 2–3 main components) and IBAU Batch-type Mixers (IB-M, discontinuous, for special cements and frequent recipe changes).

The business operates through three revenue streams: (1) EPC contracting services delivering full engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning for industrial bulk-material plants; (2) equipment and components sales of proprietary hardware; and (3) aftermarket service and maintenance including spare parts, troubleshooting, supervision, maintenance, and hotline support. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, with named department contacts for cement, minerals, thermal power, components, and service. The firm maintains DIN ISO 9001 certification, a headquarters at Rödingsmarkt 35, Hamburg, and a manufacturing/assembly facility at Hans-Duncker-Straße 17, Hamburg. Reference projects include the Malmö Cement Import Terminal for Cementa AB / HeidelbergCement Group (30,000-ton multi-compartment silo, 6 chambers, 90 m height, handed over March 2012 after an 18-month, zero-accident construction phase). The company is integrated with the HAVER & BOECKER partner ecosystem, which adds loading, packing, palletizing, and automation capabilities to its core silo and mixing portfolio.

Direct peers

• Claudius Peters: German specialist in silos, pneumatic conveying, and bulk material handling systems for cement, gypsum, aluminium, and minerals — competes head-to-head with IBAU's Central Cone Silos, screw pumps, and airslide product lines.
• FLSmidth: Denmark-based global supplier of engineering, equipment, and service solutions to the cement and minerals industries, directly overlapping IBAU's cement and minerals EPC plus proprietary equipment model.
• KHD Humboldt Wedag: German-origin cement plant technology provider offering engineering, equipment, and modernization services for the cement industry — a close functional match to IBAU's EPC and process-equipment offering.
• Gebr. Pfeiffer: German specialist in vertical roller mills and grinding equipment for cement and minerals — adjacent but directly competitive in the cement process-equipment space that IBAU's mixers and silos feed into.
• BEUMER Group: German intralogistics and bulk material handling specialist offering conveying, loading, and palletizing systems across cement and minerals — a sister-business to IBAU within the broader German bulk handling ecosystem.
• Aumund Group: German family-owned supplier of conveying and storage equipment for bulk materials in cement, minerals, and power — a direct comparator in bucket elevators, pan conveyors, and silo discharge technology.
• Maschinenfabrik Gustav Eirich: German manufacturer of intensive mixers, processing technology, and complete plants for building materials and minerals — directly competes with IBAU's Flow-through and Batch-type mixers in cement and dry mortar.
• Schenck Process: Global (German-origin) provider of weighing, feeding, conveying, screening, and air filtration technology for bulk materials — directly comparable in scale, end markets, and component-portfolio depth to IBAU.
• Christian Pfeiffer: German cement plant engineering specialist focused on grinding technology, separators, and process optimisation — closely comparable engineering services and equipment portfolio to IBAU's cement-side offering.

Broad incumbents

• Thyssenkrupp Polysius: Large industrial EPC business within Thyssenkrupp serving cement, minerals, and other process industries; broader in scope and scale than IBAU but the most prominent incumbents in IBAU's primary vertical (cement EPC).
