EVT Eiberger Verfahrenstechnik

What EVT Eiberger Verfahrenstechnik does

EVT Eiberger Verfahrenstechnik GmbH is a privately held, family-owned German manufacturer founded in 1994 and headquartered in Sternenfels, Baden-Württemberg. The company designs and builds industrial parts cleaning and degreasing systems, organized around four core equipment series — NANO (small parts), VARIO (S/M/L/XL, modular mid-range), GIGANT (TOP-LOADER and FRONT-TOP-LOADER for large, heavy parts up to 14-tonne batches) and AQUA (aqueous cleaning where solvents are unsuitable) — plus a portfolio of custom-engineered Special Solutions for long pipes (up to 3 km), pipe coils below 1 mm inner diameter, agitator containers, optical lenses, and hardening-shop applications.

Its core technology stack centers on solvent-based cleaning (chlorinated hydrocarbons, hydrocarbons, modified alcohols, perchloroethylene, methylene chloride) and aqueous media, delivered through spray, immersion, vapour degreasing, and vacuum drying processes. Two proprietary platforms differentiate the offering: VARIOSOLVENT, which allows all major solvent classes to be run in a single system with media changeover but no mechanical modification, and DESTOMOBIL, a mobile thin-film vacuum distillation unit that reduces residual solvent in used oil to below 1% versus roughly 50% for atmospheric distillation. Systems are controlled by SIEMENS PLCs with online remote maintenance accessible from mobile devices worldwide.

The business model is direct and capital-equipment-led: each system is custom-configured to the customer's part geometry, throughput, and cleanliness requirements, with pricing set through personal consultation and individual quotation (no public list price). Revenue comes from one-time capital equipment sales, a used/refurbished equipment line (6-month warranty on spare parts), DESTOMOBIL standalone sales, and ongoing spare-parts/service revenue supported by a dedicated service team and the SIEMENS remote-diagnostics platform. Distribution runs through an internal sales team and a global network of regional sales partners, supplemented since 2024 by an exclusive German distribution and service agreement with iFP Europe and a contract-degreasing service (Lohnentfettung) for customers that prefer to outsource cleaning. EVT serves metalworking, heat-treatment/hardening, aerospace, optics, medical-technology, electrical-engineering, and contract-manufacturing customers, with named logos including ZF, Schock, Excelitas, Kleiner Stanztechnik, HAPEMA, and H2 Stamping, and claims over 100 installations in hardening shops and several hundred systems across industries worldwide.

Core offering

EVT Eiberger Verfahrenstechnik GmbH designs, manufactures, and services industrial parts cleaning and degreasing systems for the metalworking industry and adjacent sectors. The portfolio spans compact series (NANO, VARIO, GIGANT, AQUA) using solvents or aqueous media, custom special solutions for challenging geometries, the DESTOMOBIL vacuum distillation accessory, and exclusive distribution of iFP Europe systems in Germany, supplemented by used equipment and global spare-parts/service support.

Product overview

EVT Eiberger Verfahrenstechnik is a medium-sized family business that designs and manufactures industrial parts cleaning and degreasing systems. The product portfolio centers on four main compact system series (NANO, VARIO, GIGANT, and AQUA) which form the basis for "classic" models. The NANO and VARIO series (including VARIO-S, VARIO-M, VARIO-L, and VARIO-XL variants) provide flexibility for small to large batch cleaning with various solvent options. The GIGANT series handles large, voluminous, and heavy goods with TOP-LOADER and FRONT-TOP-LOADER configurations. The AQUA series offers aqueous cleaning for cases where solvents are not suitable. These core products are complemented by the DESTOMOBIL vacuum distillation accessory, VARIOSOLVENT multi-solvent technology, iFP partner products, used equipment, and custom special solutions for specialized applications such as pipe cleaning, agitator containers, optical lenses, and hardening goods. The company serves diverse industries including aerospace, automotive, medical technology, optics, electrical engineering, and heat treatment.

Direct peers

• Pero AG: Pero AG is a German manufacturer of industrial parts cleaning and degreasing systems serving metalworking, automotive, and aerospace customers. Directly comparable to EVT as a mid-sized German Mittelstand competitor specializing in solvent and aqueous cleaning equipment for industrial parts.
• Cleaning Technologies Group (CTG): CTG is a US-based manufacturer of industrial parts washing and cleaning systems, including aqueous and solvent technologies, serving automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing. Directly comparable to EVT as a focused parts-cleaning equipment specialist operating internationally.
• BvL Oberflächentechnik GmbH: BvL is a German manufacturer of industrial parts cleaning systems, particularly strong in aqueous cleaning technology for metalworking and automotive suppliers. Directly comparable to EVT's AQUA series and a known competitor in the German Mittelstand cleaning equipment market.
• Höckh Metall-Reinigungsanlagen GmbH: Höckh is a German manufacturer of industrial parts cleaning and degreasing systems with a focus on aqueous and solvent-based solutions for metalworking and automotive components. Directly comparable to EVT in product offering, customer verticals (metalworking, automotive, hardening), and Mittelstand scale.
• Kolb Cleaning Technology GmbH: Kolb is a German manufacturer of aqueous industrial parts cleaning systems serving metalworking, electronics, and medical device customers. Directly comparable to EVT's AQUA and special-solutions lines and a relevant peer as customers shift from solvent to aqueous cleaning.
• Ecoclean GmbH (Dürr AG): Ecoclean is a leading European manufacturer of industrial parts cleaning systems, offering aqueous and solvent-based solutions across automotive, aerospace, and general industry. A direct competitor to EVT in parts cleaning equipment, with broader scale and a more extensive global service network as part of Dürr AG.

Broad incumbents

• Dürr AG: Dürr AG is a large German industrial engineering company whose Ecoclean subsidiary competes directly with EVT in industrial parts cleaning. Broader incumbent than EVT — Dürr offers painting, environmental, and automation technologies beyond cleaning, but is the most relevant public-market reference point for valuing a focused German parts-cleaning specialist.
• Miele Professional: Miele Professional is the commercial and industrial division of Miele, offering industrial parts cleaning (e.g., Miele PLW series) alongside commercial laundry and dishwashing equipment. A broader incumbent in industrial cleaning whose parts-cleaning units compete with EVT in regulated, high-cleanliness applications such as medical technology and laboratory work.

Others

• iFP Europe: iFP Europe is a manufacturer of innovative industrial parts cleaning systems with which EVT has an exclusive German distribution and service partnership. Listed as a peer because iFP-branded units compete in the same product category as EVT's own systems, even though EVT also benefits commercially from reselling iFP products in Germany.
