NCA Container- und Anlagenbau

What NCA Container- und Anlagenbau does

NCA Container- und Anlagenbau Gesellschaft m.b.H. is an Austrian, family-owned industrial steel and plant construction company headquartered in St. Paul im Lavanttal, Carinthia, founded in 1991 with over 100 employees. The company operates as both general contractor and specialized supplier for complex industrial projects across six service verticals: Anlagenbau (plant construction), Stahlbau (steel construction), Brückenbau (bridge construction), Dach- und Fassadenbau (roof and facade), Energie (transformer housings and energy components), Umwelttechnik (environmental technology), and Mobilität (rail and aerospace components). Core technology centers on CAD-based planning, modern CNC-driven fabrication equipment (orbital welding, stainless steel pipe bending, sheet metal rolling), and an in-house coating capability delivered through affiliated BBK Beschichtungs GmbH.

NCA's revenue model is project-based, with one-time EPC contracts and specialized fabrication orders negotiated per scope. Marquee customers include Siemens Energy (transformer housings and bridge middle sections since 2020), Lanxess Deutschland GmbH (RTO-i-SCR exhaust gas purification plant, 72,800 Nm³/h), Deutsche Bahn and ÖBB (railway infrastructure), Airbus (A350XWB production line platforms), and Robel (railway vehicle chassis). The 2018 acquisition of CTP Chemisch Thermische Prozesstechnik GmbH brought patented regenerative thermal oxidizer with integrated selective catalytic reduction (RTO-i-SCR) technology for combined N₂O and NOₓ emission control, currently a key differentiator in the environmental technology vertical. The company holds the standard certification stack for the European heavy-fabrication industry (EN 1090 EXC1–EXC3, EN 15085-2 for railway welding, EN ISO 3834-2, IMS, ISO 14001, ANKÖ Führungszeugnis).

Geographically, NCA serves customers across Austria (DACH core market) and has delivered reference projects in Germany, Azerbaijan, and Russia. Distribution is direct, enterprise field sales with relationship-driven project acquisition; the company relies on its project portfolio, industry referrals, and certifications rather than a marketing-driven funnel. The leadership is concentrated in the founding Schrammel family: Christian Schrammel as Geschäftsführer and Esther Schrammel as Commercial Director.

Core offering

NCA Container- und Anlagenbau is an Austrian industrial metal construction company that designs, fabricates, assembles, and commissions complex steel structures, bridges, transformer housings, building envelopes (roofs and facades), and exhaust gas purification systems. Operating from a 10,000 m² facility in St. Paul im Lavanttal, the company serves as both general contractor and specialized supplier for large-scale industrial projects in energy, infrastructure, environmental technology, and mobility sectors. Through its CTP subsidiary, it delivers patented RTO-i-SCR emission control technology, and through BBK Beschichtungs GmbH it provides in-house coating and corrosion protection.

Product overview

NCA Container- und Anlagenbau is an Austrian steel and plant construction company offering a comprehensive portfolio of industrial services rather than a unified software product. The core offerings include Anlagenbau (plant construction), Stahlbau (steel construction), Brückenbau (bridge construction), Dach- und Fassadenbau (roof and facade construction), and Infrastruktur solutions. These are complemented by specialized divisions in Energie (transformer construction, heat exchangers), Umwelttechnik (environmental technology, exhaust gas purification using CTP technology), and Mobilität (rail vehicle components, Airbus parts, special transport). The company operates subsidiaries BBK Beschichtung for coatings and corrosion protection, and CTP Air Pollution Control for emissions reduction technology. Additional services include Forschung & Entwicklung (prototype development, pilot plants), technical insulation, and comprehensive project service from planning through assembly and commissioning. The company has production facilities exceeding 10,000 m² at its St. Paul im Lavanttal location.
