What KLINGER Belgium does

KLINGER Belgium NV is a privately held Belgian subsidiary of KLINGER Holding (Austria), operating from headquarters in Vilvoorde and a production facility in Oelegem (KLINGER Oelegem, formerly Philippe Jans). Established in 2019 from the acquisition of Achille Marchal, the company was further expanded in 2023 with the Philippe Jans integration completed on May 1, 2024. KLINGER Belgium employs approximately 50 staff and operates as a sales-led, enterprise field-sales organization selling industrial sealing, flow control, filtration, steam management, instrumentation, hoses, and expansion joint products alongside proprietary software tools (IntegrityXpert, Expert, KemProof) and professional services including steam audits, flange management, installation optimization, valve automation, and shutdown turnaround services.

The company's technical differentiation rests on proprietary product lines such as KVN plunger valves (100-year technology heritage), Ballostar KHA multi-purpose ball valves (-196°C to +400°C), KGS GII rubber-metal gaskets, Hiflux self-cleaning filters, and KLINGER TOP-CHEM 2000 PTFE sealing materials. It also distributes ChemValve PTFE-lined butterfly valves under a partnership with the Swiss manufacturer. The portfolio carries an extensive multi-jurisdictional certification footprint including Belgaqua, WRAS, DVGW, FDA, ATEX, PED, TA-Luft, ISO 15848-1, and API 6FA. Following the Oelegem integration, KLINGER Belgium now performs in-house custom gasket cutting and assembly.

KLINGER Belgium serves enterprise industrial customers across at least ten verticals — chemical, petrochemical, energy, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, metals, oil & gas, pulp & paper, water, geothermal, and the emerging hydrogen economy. Named enterprise clients include Henkel (self-cleaning filtration), Biostoom Beringen (680-meter medium-pressure steam network), Glass Recycling Limburg (sustainable steam heat), and Metra Energie-Messtechnik (collaborative EDZ 120.1 flow measurement system). Revenue is generated through one-time industrial product sales, custom manufacturing services, project-based shutdown and maintenance contracts, and consulting/engineering services, all priced via direct consultation. The company is part of the broader KLINGER Group, which reports approximately €684 million in annual turnover, employs 2,800 people across 60 countries, and operates 18 production sites.

Revenue model

1. Industrial product sales: KLINGER Belgium generates revenue primarily through the sale of industrial products including gaskets, valves, steam equipment, filtration systems, industrial hoses, and compensators. Products are sold directly through specialists and key account managers to industrial clients.
2. Custom manufacturing and assembly services: Following the acquisition of Philippe Jans (now KLINGER Oelegem), the company operates its own production workshop for custom gasket cutting and assembly. This in-house manufacturing capability enables faster response to client needs and generates service revenue alongside product sales.
3. Shutdown and maintenance services: Comprehensive shutdown/stop services including pre-planning, inventory management, on-site support, flange management, and product delivery within 2, 4, or 24 hours. Revenue generated through project-based service contracts.
4. Consulting and engineering services: Steam audits, installation optimization, valve automation, and training services provided alongside product sales to help clients reduce energy costs and improve process efficiency.
