A strong group
ERC Emissions-Reduzierungs-Concepte GmbH is the holding company of an owner-managed, medium-sized family business with four subsidiaries: ERC Additiv GmbH, ERC Technik GmbH, ERC Messen Steuern Regeln GmbH (ERC MSR) and ERC Engineering Xperts GmbH. Since 1993, the group has been developing, manufacturing and installing flue gas cleaning systems, including DeNOx systems using SNCR, SCR and the combined ERC-plus process, as well as flue gas desulfurization and dedusting systems, delivered turnkey from small combustion plants under the 44th BImSchV up to large combustion plants under the 13th/17th BImSchV. ERC MSR manufactures switchgear cabinets up to 4,000 A in sheet steel, stainless steel or plastic in its own production facilities and develops control and dosing systems for industry, power plants and waste management. ERC Additiv GmbH produces additives for fuels, combustibles and lubricants using the blending process in Wahlstedt. Its customers come from the power plants and industrial plants, thermal waste recovery, shipping, and renewable energies and hydrogen sectors. Production takes place at the Buchholz in der Nordheide and Wahlstedt sites; through subsidiaries and affiliated companies as well as sales partners, the group is also active in Poland, the Czech Republic, China, France and India.
