Hitachi Zosen Inova Steinmüller
The Milestones of Our Company History
We are very proud of our roots, which reach back more than 150 years. They include some extremely traditional and well-known German companies that shaped environmental and power plant technology from a very early stage: L. & C. Steinmüller GmbH, Deutsche Babcock Anlagen GmbH and Noell KRC Energie- und Umwelttechnik GmbH. And have led us now to a merger with Swiss-Japanese Hitachi Zosen Inova AG, one of the world’s leading providers for Energy from Waste and Renewable Gas systems.
For us, these roots and mergers represent origin, character and obligation: We will never stop advancing the development of our technologies, and we will always remain a trustful partner to our customers.
