Geurts International

What Geurts International does

Geurts Heatexchangers B.V. (operating as Geurts International) is a Netherlands-based, privately held industrial OEM founded in 1963 and headquartered in Heerhugowaard. The company designs and manufactures tailor-made heat exchangers and waste-heat recovery equipment, with capabilities spanning from components to full turnkey installations. Its product range includes tubular, U-tube, shell-and-coil, plate heat exchangers, economizers, combustion and steam-coil air preheaters, flue-gas heat exchangers, biofuel exchangers, condensers, evaporators, biogas/geothermal skids, dryers, coolers, and Denox/Desox emission-control modules.

Underlying technology is rooted in custom thermal engineering rather than standardized off-the-shelf products: in-house engineers apply CFD and FEM analysis for thermal and structural optimization, design to multi-jurisdictional codes (PED, ASME including U-stamp, EN 13445, AD-2000 Merkblätter, TEMA, RToD), and manufacture in-house, including large-scale units of 45 tonnes or more. End-markets served include petrochemical and refinery (e.g., oil refinery in Serbia, hydrocracker plant in Russia), waste-to-energy, biomass and bioenergy, power generation (CHP, ORC), steel and aluminum, paper and pulp, food/pharma/dairy, and biogas/geothermal. Customer logos cited include Swinkels Family Brewers, Roularta Printing, Konuthem, and a quartz-glass producer.

Commercial model is project-based and engineering-led: pricing is fully bespoke per order, projects range from single-component deliveries to turnkey installations commissioned on-site, and sales is driven by Account Managers, Sales Engineers, and process engineers engaging enterprise customers from initial technical inquiry through delivery. The company has 11–50 direct employees and operates as part of Heilig Group (joined 2015), a diversified European industrial conglomerate providing financial backing, multi-site production capacity, and access to broader engineering resources. Geographic reach spans the Netherlands, Germany (with a sales office in Hannover), France, and international project deliveries across Europe and beyond.
