Balcke-Dürr Group

Balcke-Dürr is a supplier and service provider for heat exchangers and reactors 

With more than 130 years of experience, the Balcke-Dürr Group offers innovative energy efficiency solutions for utilities, companies of the oil- and gas- as well as the chemical industry. The product portfolio ranges from standard modules to complete thermal systems. Balcke-Dürr’s experienced engineers specialize in solutions that meet the highest safety and sustainability requirements. The product portfolio includes heat exchangers, cooling towers, nuclear decommissioning and maintenance services. The two partial exits of the activities in Poland and the Rothemühle business enabled the Balcke-Dürr Group to withdraw from the coal business.

Strategy

The Balcke-Dürr Group focuses on three strategic goals: First, the Group wants to strengthen its position in the nuclear energy market; second, it wants to significantly expand its business with dismantling services for nuclear power plants; and third, it wants to strengthen its activities for customers in the oil- and gas- as well as the chemical industries. Extensions to the product portfolio are being examined, as is inorganic growth through acquisitions. The recent add-on acquisition of Balcke-Dürr Energy Solutions, formerly Toshiba Transmission & Distribution Europe, expands the product range to include battery storage systems, smart grid solutions and renewable energy installations.

“The realignment of Balcke-Dürr Group was consistently pursued and completed. In 2022, the company aims to expand the relevant market, both in terms of new areas of application for the existing range of products and services and through strategic acquisitions.“
