ANDRITZ as a Company
ANDRITZ is an international technology group headquartered in Graz, Austria, operating as a supplier of process plants, equipment, automation and services for the Pulp & Paper, Metals, Hydropower, and Environment & Energy sectors. Founded in 1852 as an iron foundry and machine factory in Graz, the company manufactures and supplies, among other things, complete plants for pulp and paper production, plants for metal processing and forming technology, electromechanical equipment for hydropower plants, as well as technologies for carbon capture, green hydrogen, P2X, separation, recycling, pelletizing and steam generators. Manufacturing covers plant engineering, steel structures, large components in the multi-ton range, welding services, and the refurbishment of dies and rolls in the company's own production facilities; processed materials include steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. In addition to engineering and new-build projects, ANDRITZ offers a life-cycle service portfolio including maintenance, retrofit, spare parts, remote monitoring (Metris) and 24/7 support. With around 30,000 employees at over 280 locations in more than 80 countries, the company, which is listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange, generated revenue of €7.9 billion in 2025.
