of the global market volume accounts for Pfaudler
With Pfaudler, we have invested in a quality supplier in a global niche market. The prospect of growing investment in capital goods and the strong after-market business speak in favour of the investment.
PROFILE
The companies in the Pfaudler Group provide anti-corrosive solution for customers in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries with a global footprint. Main product offerings are glass-lined vessels and other glass-lined components, spare parts and repair services as well as planning and constructing complete production facilities. Pfaudler is one of the few manufacturers that can develop and produce process-critical equipment that is compliant with the high quality standards for glass linings, based on its own knowledge and experience. The vessels and components are used as reactors for chemical processes and as storage tanks, columns and piping in chemical facilities. Its many years of experience in preparing the frit for glass lining and, not least, its employees’ expertise give the company a competitive edge, as key steps of the process are performed manually. At the same time, these advantages create high market entry barriers for potential competitors. Pfaudler accounts for some 30 per cent of the market volume worldwide.
POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT
Pfaudler is a high-quality supplier in a global niche market. It has supplied countless components over the past decades, providing it with a solid foundation for its services and spare parts business. Furthermore, the continued internationalisation and expansion of its product portfolio should contribute to its organic as well as anorganic growth.
