The company also operates SPIE Excelsius Rental Services GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary that handles equipment sales, manufacturing, and rental of its proprietary burner assets.

Its core technical platform is the High Velocity Burner System, rated up to 5,000 Nm3/h, which delivers controlled heating for furnace heat-ups, hot holds, cooldowns, and refractory dry-out, with claimed temperature precision of +/- 1 degree Celsius. Supporting capabilities include strategically placed thermocouples with digital recording, water-cooled drain plugs with channels up to 60 meters, and on-line refractory drilling for diameters from 10 to 300 mm. The company has historically deployed more than 275 burners across 100+ projects per year, with project scopes ranging from 1 to 110 burners and multi-week continuous operations on assets such as DC arc furnaces.

The business operates a B2B project-based services model with quote-driven, scope-specific pricing; no public pricing exists. Revenue derives from professional service fees for on-site technician deployments, plus equipment rental and sales through the affiliated entity. Customers span float glass, container/hollow glass, specialty glass, fiberglass, steel (blast furnaces, coke ovens, DC arc furnaces), cement and lime, waste-to-energy/CFB boilers, and non-ferrous metal (aluminum, copper) producers. The company is a member of the SPIE Group, operating within the SPIE Industry Service & Wind division, and dispatches trained technicians and equipment globally from its German base.
