FIVES Pillard Deutschland GmbH

What FIVES Pillard Deutschland GmbH does

Fives Pillard Deutschland GmbH is a German industrial combustion and burner technology company headquartered in Taunusstein, operating as a subsidiary of the French industrial engineering group Fives. The company specializes in the design, manufacture, and servicing of industrial combustion systems for high-temperature process heating applications. Its portfolio is organized into two main product lines: Kesselfeuerungen (boiler firing systems) covering steam/hot water boilers, grate-fired boilers, fluidized bed furnaces, flame tube boilers, thermal oil heaters, and coke-free cupola furnaces; and Prozessfeuerungen (process firing systems) including the NOVAFLAM burner line, calcination burners, hot gas generators, duct burners, and special/custom burners. A core technical differentiator is the company's Low NOx burner technology achieving NOx emissions below 50 mg/Nm3 on natural gas-fired systems without external flue gas recirculation, applied to both new installations and modernization of existing power plants.\n\nThe company serves four primary vertical segments: Non-Metallic Minerals (cement, lime, gypsum, mineral processing), Waste Management and Incineration, Power Generation and Energy, and Glass Manufacturing. Customer needs addressed include NOx emissions compliance, fuel flexibility (including waste-derived fuels), calcination process efficiency, and boiler modernization. Revenue mechanics are project-based and equipment-driven (custom-engineered burners, boilers, and components), with pricing not publicly disclosed and typically handled through direct quotation. Supporting services generate recurring engagement: CFD analyses, fuel handling systems, combustion chamber filming, installation and commissioning, operator training, and maintenance.\n\nThe company operates with roughly 20 employees at its Taunusstein site and distributes through direct technical sales targeting enterprise industrial buyers, while leveraging the Fives Group's global engineering, R&D, and project execution network. Marketing channels include industry trade shows, direct technical sales force, and website-based product documentation. No external funding, M&A, or financial disclosure is available; the entity's strategic direction is shaped by its parent group's industrial process technologies portfolio.
