What Walter Dreizler Gmbh does

Walter Dreizler GmbH is a family-owned German manufacturer of industrial forced-draught burners, headquartered in Spaichingen, Baden-Württemberg, and operating through wholly-owned sales subsidiaries in Austria, France, Switzerland, and the Benelux, plus a dedicated service entity (dreizler service GmbH). Its core offering is the marathon® product line, comprising MONObloc burners up to 20 MW and DUObloc burners up to 44 MW, covering a capacity range of 120 kW to 44 MW. The product portfolio also includes marathon® MC multi-fuel burners capable of simultaneous combustion of natural gas, biogas, and oil, supporting customers in process steam, district heating, and food processing applications (Arla Foods, Ricola AG, EGGER Holzwerkstoffe, Brugg Kabel AG are named reference customers). Underlying combustion technology revolves around LOW-NOx internal flue gas recirculation (ARZ) and the proprietary hohlflamme® flame architecture, with NOx emissions reported below 60 mg/Nm³ and DVGW certification for hydrogen admixture up to 20 vol.-% in natural gas.

The company monetizes primarily through project-based capital equipment sales priced individually by capacity and configuration, supplemented by recurring service revenue (commissioning, maintenance on annual or 4,000-hour intervals, spare parts, and 24/7 hotline support) routed through dreizler service GmbH. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with technical consulting from the Spaichingen headquarters plus regional subsidiaries and channel partners (PSB Feuerungstechnik AG in Switzerland, BBC Belgian Boiler Company in Belgium). Supporting demand-generation are technical seminars held at venues such as the thyssenkrupp test tower, the marathon® burner courier newsletter published in German, English, and Russian, and the webCOBRA® online configurator tool. Customer mix is enterprise industrial (food and beverage, paper/wood, cable manufacturing, boiler OEMs) with no consumer or SMB exposure. The management team consists of Managing Directors Ulrich Dreizler and Daniel Dreizler, both engineers, with no external institutional ownership or public-market listing.
