History

History of the Standardkessel Baumgarte Group

Two companies with a long tradition that together can rely on more than 180 years of experience and expertise in boiler technology and power plant construction.

Since the foundation of the two family-owned companies Standardkessel and Baumgarte, the companies have already followed a comprehensive and far-reaching development path. From the small boiler manufacturer to the step to the water-tube high-pressure boiler to the plant manufacturer, the companies have constantly developed over the decades and today have become one of the leading turnkey suppliers for power plant systems for municipal and industrial energy supply.
