ANDRITZ Ritz

What ANDRITZ Ritz does

ANDRITZ AG (Vienna Stock Exchange: ANDR) is a globally leading technology group founded in 1852 and headquartered in Graz, Austria, operating across four primary business areas — Pulp & Paper, Metals, Hydropower, and Environment & Energy — alongside adjacent platforms in pumps, separation, feed & biofuel, nonwoven/textile, recycling, panelboard, marine/offshore, and thermal power. The company designs, engineers, and delivers complete industrial plants and equipment, supplying process technologies, turnkey EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) solutions, automation systems (Metris X DCS, Metris Digital Twin, Metris Vibe condition monitoring), and aftermarket lifecycle services to large enterprise customers in more than 80 countries. Notable installed base metrics include 470 GW of hydropower capacity and 33,300+ turbines globally, 2,000+ textile recycling tearing lines, and an Electrolyzer Gigafactory in Erfurt producing 160–200 electrolyzers per year for green hydrogen.

ANDRITZ monetizes through a hybrid model combining large one-time capital-equipment and EPC contract revenue with recurring lifecycle services (maintenance, modernization, spare parts, wear parts) and subscription-style automation and digital solutions (Metris platform). Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, with multi-year contract cadences typical for plant deliveries. Revenue reached €7.9 billion in FY2025 with EBITA of €648 million (8.9% comparable margin), order intake of €8.9 billion (+8% YoY), and a record order backlog of €10.5 billion (+7% YoY). The company employs ~30,000 people across 280+ locations.

Strategic direction is anchored in industrial decarbonization: the CircleToZero initiative targets zero emissions and zero waste in pulp & paper, while carbon capture, Power-to-X (green hydrogen, e-methanol, e-ammonia), textile recycling, battery manufacturing equipment, and AI-powered process optimization extend the portfolio into adjacent clean-tech verticals. ANDRITZ completed eight strategic acquisitions in 2025 with a tilt toward North America and clean technologies, and operates subsidiaries including Schuler Group (metal forming), A.Celli Paper, and Diamond Power International as wholly owned brands.
