About us
Helmut Kreutz Mahlwerke GmbH is active in the fields of raw material processing and the production of oxide ceramics. In the field of iron-free contract grinding and processing of mineral raw materials for the ceramics, chemical and refractory industries, the company has held a leading position in Germany since 1965. In addition to its own products such as the zircon silicate Kreutzonit® and the in-house produced aluminium oxide ceramic Kreutzalox®, iron-free contract processing services are also offered. The materials processed include, besides zircon and aluminium oxide ceramics, quartz, rutile, ilmenite and secondary materials. The company is headquartered in Haiger (Hesse) and is certified to DIN EN ISO 14001:2015 and DIN EN ISO 50001:2018. The focus is also on the continuous improvement of material and energy efficiency as well as the reduction of the CO2 footprint per tonne produced.
