Dear Readers,
Welcome to our KLINGER Yearbook. With this edition we would like to invite you to take a look at what we have achieved for our customers in the past year.
Our publication is divided into two sections and promises something for everyone. “What’s new at KLINGER” focuses on Group-internal activities.
They were initiated in order to improve the quality of our wide range of products and services or to provide you with valuable information for your sealing technology, fluid control, plant safety and shutdown needs: Browsing through our selection will introduce you to our latest acquisition, the Italian industrial valve manufacturer Burocco. Furthermore, KLINGER Italy is present with its new range of magnetic level gauges.
Customer proximity is written in capitals at KLINGER, which is why it is our pleasure to inform you that KLINGER South Africa has opened another branch: With Mossel Bay, their comprehensive network now comprises 11 locations. And because good news is always welcome, you will be pleased to learn that KLINGER Dichtungstechnik has won the country’s highest national award for its environmental declaration.
You will also have the opportunity to hear from KLINGER Kempchen’s highly acclaimed expert forums, the so-called “Kempchen Praxistage” and the “9th Münchener Forum Verbindungstechnologie”. In terms of plant improvement, the KLINGER Yearbook offers you a lean management initiative in Australia, a state of the art primer facility in Switzerland, industrial robotics in Germany and a revolutionary regenerative thermal oxidation process in Austria.
Our “Success Stories”, on the other hand, focus on the many fi elds for which we can rightfully claim to be “trusted. worldwide.” We do this by earning the trust of our customers, such as for example that of Chevron in Thailand. As our customer references will show, the above also holds true for refinery operators, geothermal power plants as well as the water and wastewater business. It might come as a surprise, but thanks to a group of highly skilled and aptly named engineers known as KLINGER Precision, this even applies to wind turbines. By way of closing, we would like to thank you for your business in 2019. We hope you enjoy our selection and wish you a pleasant read.
