Drilling and Well Construction since 1863
H. Anger's Söhne is a German drilling company based in Hessisch Lichtenau that has been active in drilling and well construction since 1863. Its service portfolio includes the development of drinking, process, mineral, medicinal and thermal water through drilled wells, the construction of vertical and horizontal filter wells, well regeneration and rehabilitation, as well as deep and underground drilling down to 7,000 m depth. In the field of energy production, the company carries out drilling for deep and medium-deep geothermal energy and, with HoriThermie®, offers a method for near-surface geothermal energy based on horizontal filter wells. In raw material extraction, ANGER specializes in drilling into salt domes for rock salt extraction as well as core drilling for the exploration of deposits. The offering is complemented by electrical and pump technology, well houses, pipeline and electrical installations, groundwater monitoring wells, and general contractor services (EPC, turnkey). In addition to its headquarters, the company maintains technical offices in Halle, Karlstadt/Main and Murr and operates nationally and internationally.
