[1] Based in Cologne, Germany, the company employs more than 850 people worldwide, operating subsidiaries covering the Americas, India, the CIS, and the Asia-Pacific Region, as well as sales offices in Türkiye, Dubai, and Iran.

[4] The company initially focused on the manufacture of perforated steel sheets for screens, jigs, and percussion tables used in the mining industry.

Among his other business activities, Klöckner was also on the supervisory board of engine manufacturer, Gasmotorenfarbrik Deutz, which he merged with Maschinenbau Anstalt Humboldt in 1930 to form Humboldt-Deutzmotoren AG.

[15] As the 20th Century drew to a close, however, the company was brought to crisis point after taking substantial losses on three cement projects in Saudi Arabia.

This period also saw increasing moves by the cement industry to cut its greenhouse gas emissions as part of global efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change under the Paris Agreement.

These latest digital advances build on the company’s more than five decades’ experience in cement plant automation dating back to the 1970s and its XPERT systems.

The Cologne headquarters houses all central group functions, including the Center of Excellence, as well as Humboldt Wedag GmbH, the company’s subsidiary for EMENA & APA.

Located at group headquarters in Cologne, the Center of Excellence provides the company’s regional subsidiaries with process engineering, plant layout, and machine design support.
