About us
Anything but standard
As a clean tech company, Standardkessel Baumgarte is one of the top addresses for municipal and industrial customers worldwide when it comes to the thermal utilisation of sustainable energy sources and substitute fuels.
Technical depth
We understand plants from the inside out.
Reliable partnership
Listen, think, deliver.
Global strength
Regionally anchored, internationally networked.
We combine over 190 years of German engineering expertise with the global resources of the Japanese technology group JFE. Our promise is technological excellence and close personal partnership – from the initial consultation to the finished plant and advice that goes far beyond.
“With Standardkessel Baumgarte, you are choosing a medium-sized partner – backed by the strength of a technology group. Reliable from the initial idea to well beyond commissioning. Because sustainable change is teamwork.”
The standard in Standardkessel has historical origins: from the very beginning, we were among the first to manufacture standardised steam boilers for hot water and process heat, thereby introducing what was essentially the first industry standard – Standardkessel.
At the same time, over the past five decades Baumgarte has become a pioneer in the supply of steam generators for plants for the thermal utilisation of waste materials.
Together, as Standardkessel Baumgarte under the umbrella of the Japanese JFE Engineering Corporation, we are now one of the leading players in the thermal utilisation of non-recyclable waste materials. In this way, we make a significant contribution to the sustainable energy supply of municipalities and industrial customers in Europe and a central contribution to the circular economy.
German SMEs
under Japanese ownership
Large projects require technological excellence and economic substance. Since 2014, we have been part of the JFE Group, a global technology company with an annual turnover of almost €30 billion. This partnership provides us with stability, reach and influence. Together with JFE Engineering in Japan and India, we combine international project expertise, operational experience, and digitalisation with AI. This strong partnership offers our customers equal footing, even in demanding large-scale projects.
Three partners, one understanding
Germany, Japan and India – a strong trio within JFE Engineering
Cooperation within the JFE Group is more than just an organisational construct – it is a living partnership. Since our integration in 2014, we have been working closely with JFE Engineering in Japan and India. This connection has grown into a stable, well-coordinated structure: Japan contributes operational experience and economic clout, while India provides support with modern design and digitalisation expertise. And we keep the project close to the customer – with in-depth process understanding, technical precision and European implementation experience. This creates a powerful project structure that opens up new opportunities for us – for challenging projects, strong partnerships and sustainable solutions.
