What NOXMAT does
NOXMAT GmbH is a German manufacturer of industrial gas burners, electric heating elements, ceramic radiant tubes, and burner control systems for thermal processing equipment, headquartered in Oederan, Saxony, and operating as a subsidiary of Austrian-listed industrial group Berndorf AG. Founded in 1992, the company has developed a deep proprietary portfolio spanning seven core burner families (Wiedemann, ETAMAT, REMAT, HGBE, RHGB, K-RHGB, K-RHGBE) differentiated by recuperator technology — ceramic (SiSiC) and metal-foam — with firing efficiencies up to 90% and application temperatures up to 1300°C. Supporting products include electric heating elements (introduced 2020-2021), gas trains, decentralized burner controls (BCU) with optional industrial fieldbus connectivity, combustion air fans, measuring orifices, valves, and flame monitoring accessories. The SeCarMat system, launched in 2019, targets nitrogen oxide emissions reduction.
NOXMAT sells into industrial heat treatment of ferrous and non-ferrous metals — primarily steel tube processing, general heat treatment, and aluminum metallurgy — via project-based enterprise sales supported by wholly-owned subsidiaries in China (Beijing, since 2011), India (Pune, since 2019), and the United States (Sterling Heights, Michigan), plus a service center in Hagen, Germany and regional partners such as ECOSTAR in Turkey. Products are sold in more than 35 countries with project lifecycles spanning specification, configured manufacture, on-site commissioning, and aftermarket service including retrofit, optimization, maintenance, L-H gas conversion, and customer training delivered through the NOXMAT Training Center in Saxony. 2018 was characterized as the most successful year in the company's history with record revenue.
The business model combines one-time hardware sales of custom-configured industrial burner systems with recurring service, retrofit, spare parts, and training revenue. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed; reference projects indicate multi-burner installations valued at multiple megawatts (e.g., 18 K-RHGB160 burners totaling 2,880 kW on a single car-bottom furnace). The 2022 acquisition of an automation technology engineering company and launch of the 'Industrial Heating Technology' brand repositioned NOXMAT from a component manufacturer to a complete solutions provider across gas and electric heating technology. Quality is managed under ISO 9001:2015 certification maintained since 1996.
