What KLINGER Schöneberg does

KLINGER Schöneberg is a German GmbH headquartered in Graben-Neudorf, Baden-Württemberg, operating as a subsidiary of the KLINGER Group. The company designs and manufactures industrial ball valves engineered for extreme operating conditions — high pressure, extreme temperatures, and aggressive media — under the proprietary INTEC product family. Core offerings include the INTEC Duoball Valve with a patented fourfold-safety stem sealing system, the INTEC Top Entry Ball Valve designed for inline maintenance, the INTEC K220-S-FS-DE pressure relief valve with fire-safe certification, and the INTECtalk Smart Valve which integrates permanent condition monitoring, fault detection, and predictive maintenance for Industry 4.0 deployments. Products carry an extensive certification stack (PED, API 6D, ATEX, Fire-Safe, TA-Luft, SELO China) that qualifies them for regulated process industries across multiple jurisdictions.

The company serves a focused base of enterprise customers in chemicals, petrochemicals, and steel, with named references including BASF, Westlake Chemical, Lanxess, Allnex, Tata Steel, and the Helmholtz Association. It is actively expanding into energy-transition applications: hydrogen infrastructure at operating pressures up to 500 bar, carbon capture work with Tata Steel, and a supercritical CO2 pilot project with the Helmholtz Association. A dedicated Asia representative office supplements the KLINGER Group's global distribution footprint, addressing direct commercial relationships in Asian process-industry markets.

The business model is built on custom-engineered, specification-driven sales with premium pricing reflecting the safety-critical nature of the applications. Revenue mechanics follow long plant-lifecycle, project-based ordering rather than high-volume transactional distribution. The company has invested in capacity (a production hall extension around 2020) and a dedicated R&D test facility, and has progressed its sustainability positioning from EcoVadis Silver in 2018 to Platinum by 2026 — increasingly relevant for ESG-mandated procurement at large European chemical and energy buyers.
