Hagelschuer

What Hagelschuer does

Hagelschuer (legal entity Georg Hagelschuer GmbH & Co. KG) is a family-owned German industrial boiler manufacturer and service provider headquartered in Dülmen with a regional subsidiary in Bickenbach (Rhein-Main). Founded in the early 1990s, the company designs, manufactures, rents, and services industrial steam boilers (0.6-30 t/h), hot water boilers (1-25 MW), hybrid boilers, electric steam generators, and waste heat boilers, alongside modular containerized (GH Container) and precast concrete boiler house solutions. Its technology stack includes H2-ready combustion systems (up to 100% hydrogen), LowNox burners compliant with the 44th BImSchV, ECO economizers achieving 95.5% combustion efficiency, reverse osmosis water treatment, and the GH Focus digital boiler monitoring application (Digitales Kesselbuch).

The company operates a dual capital-and-service business model. Revenue is generated through new system sales (one-time capital purchases of individually engineered stationary and mobile systems), a rental fleet of more than 100 boilers available for short and multi-year contracts, and recurring service revenue from maintenance, repair, TÜV inspections, operator training, and 44th BImSchV compliance advisory. Sales are executed via a dedicated regional field sales organization covering North, Central, and Southern Germany plus an international rental sales function, complemented by a multilingual website with localized landing pages across 12+ European countries.

Hagelschuer serves enterprise customers across food and beverage (breweries, flour mills, oat processors), laundry and textile, paper and corrugated, automotive and plastics, chemical and pharmaceutical, healthcare, energy, and construction materials. Named reference customers include Oechsler (Adidas SPEEDFACTORY), TAG Composites & Carpets, Kampschulte, Textilpflege Auerbach, Franken Bräu, Harries Schälmühlenwerk, and SchapfenMühle. The company self-describes as the German market leader for stationary and mobile steam and hot water boiler systems, with deployments across Germany and Europe.
