What Fuller Technologies does

Fuller Technologies is a global supplier of equipment, digital solutions, and services for the cement industry, operating across the full cement flowsheet from crushing and raw grinding through pyroprocessing, finish grinding, and packaging and logistics. The company is the 2025 carve-out and rebrand of FLSmidth Cement under Pacific Avenue ownership, inheriting 140+ years of cement process heritage, a portfolio of proprietary technologies (OK Mill vertical roller mills, ROTAX-2 kilns, HOTDISC and FUELFLEX alternative-fuel systems, PFISTER feeding and dosing, VENTOMATIC packaging, Fuller-Kinyon pneumatic conveying, and the ECS/ControlCenter and ECS/ProcessExpert automation and advanced process control platforms), and a customer base of large multinational and regional cement producers across roughly 150 countries.

The business operates five revenue streams: one-time equipment sales for new plants and upgrades, recurring aftermarket services and spare parts (organized around PlantLine service agreements), subscription digital software and process optimization, professional engineering and project services, and training through the Fuller Institute. Distribution is enterprise direct sales supported by 15+ regional offices and service centers across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific, with the U.S. headquarters in Allentown, PA and a European headquarters in Copenhagen.

The customer base is concentrated in cement producers, with named enterprise customers including Shree Cement, UltraTech Cement, Vicat, GCC, Ramco Cement, CalPortland, Mannok Cement, Cementos Molins, Cementos Argos, and Ozinga. The company pursues decarbonization and alternative-fuel themes as core growth vectors, supported by AI-driven process optimization partnerships (Imubit), the DETOCS low-clinker consortium, and proprietary alternative-fuel reactor technology.
