What MARTIN AG does

MARTIN AG für Umwelt- und Energietechnik is a Swiss specialist in the design, modernization, and servicing of combustion and boiler systems for thermal waste treatment plants. Established in 1981 as a service partner for combustion systems at its Wettingen headquarters and extended in 2011 with a dedicated boiler-service and fabrication hub in Matzingen, the company serves municipal and private waste-to-energy operators across Switzerland and Central Europe. Its core offerings span the full thermal waste treatment chain: combustion grate systems (including the proprietary N53 grate bar replacing the N46 series), feed and ash handling systems, radiant and convective boiler sections, combustion air systems, and complete piping construction. Differentiated technologies include Inconel weld-overlay cladding for corrosion and wear protection, CMT welding for precision cladding and component fabrication, and — via sister company Explosion Power GmbH — the Shock Pulse Generator (SPG) for online boiler cleaning, proven across 650+ installations in 20 countries since 2009.

The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, and ISO 3834 certifications and operates in-house manufacturing at Matzingen equipped with a 7-axis welding robot, 360° pipe cladding automatons, sheet cladding robots, sandblasting, portal press, and waterjet cutting. Business model is project-based B2B industrial services with quote-based pricing, comprising engineering services, component and spare-parts supply, turnkey modernization projects, and recurring after-sales service contracts with dedicated account managers and 24-hour on-call support. Customers are exclusively waste-to-energy plant operators (KVAs), predominantly municipal or quasi-governmental entities (KVA Buchs, KVA Trimmis, IWB Basel, Limeco, KEZO Hinwil, ICTR Giubiasco, Müve Biel-Seeland, GEVAG Schwandorf, HestAmbiente, HERAmbiente). Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

MARTIN AG operates as a 100% subsidiary of MARTIN GmbH für Umwelt- und Energietechnik (Munich, founded 1925, fourth-generation family business), which provides engineering support from 500+ reference plants worldwide. In July 2025, MARTIN AG increased its stake in ENPRO SCHWEIZ AG to 80%, adding flue gas treatment and project management capability, and operates within a broader MARTIN Group that includes MARTIN Caldeiras (Portugal manufacturing), MARTIN Services SAS (France), Explosion Power GmbH (SPG, Switzerland), MARTIN Environmental Technologies LP (USA), and sister entities such as Loibl Förderanlagen, LAB, and LUEHR FILTER.

Broad incumbents

• Valmet: Finnish global supplier of process technologies for pulp, paper, energy and waste-to-energy, with comparable boiler, combustion and emission reduction offerings — overlapping technology footprint but serving a much broader customer base.
• Babcock & Wilcox: Global boiler and steam generation specialist with significant installed base in waste-to-energy and industrial combustion, providing comparable heat-transfer technology but as part of a broader power-generation portfolio.
• ANDRITZ Energy & Environment: Austrian-headquartered global supplier of boiler, combustion and emission reduction technologies including for waste-to-energy plants — overlapping with MARTIN AG in boiler/grate systems but operating at significantly larger scale and broader scope.
• Kawasaki Heavy Industries (Environmental Plant Division): Japanese conglomerate with a dedicated waste-to-energy plant EPC business covering grate furnaces, boilers and flue gas treatment — a much larger incumbent serving the same end-market but with global new-build focus rather than service.
• Doosan Lentjes: German-based EPC for thermal power and waste-to-energy plants, offering combustion and boiler systems on a larger scale than MARTIN AG. Overlaps on technology and end customers but addresses larger new-build projects.

Direct peers

• Hitachi Zosen Inova: Swiss-headquartered (Zurich) EPC leader for waste-to-energy plants, with similar end customers (municipal WtE operators) and overlapping scope on combustion, boiler and flue gas treatment systems. Most direct large-scale competitor to MARTIN AG's home market and modernizations.
• Keppel Seghers: Singapore-headquartered WtE and biomass EPC contractor with European operations, providing combustion systems, boiler technology and after-sales service — directly comparable to MARTIN AG's offering for municipal waste-to-energy customers.
• Steinmüller Babcock Environment: German-based specialist EPC and service provider for waste-to-energy plants with comparable focus on combustion grates, boiler technology and plant modernizations in Central Europe — directly comparable in product line and customer base to MARTIN AG.
• Standardkessel Baumgarte: German boiler plant engineering specialist serving waste-to-energy and biomass operators with combustion systems, boiler technology and service — a closely comparable niche competitor to MARTIN AG in Central Europe.
