About Klingenburg
Klingenburg GmbH is a medium-sized family business founded in 1979 by Hans Klingenburg and headquartered in Gladbeck, specializing in rotary heat exchangers, cross-flow plate heat exchangers and air humidifiers. The rotors are made from aluminum, stainless steel and galvanized steel; the HUgo sorption rotor is coated with the company's proprietary DekaTru zeolite coating (4A and 3A), which transfers moisture in addition to sensible heat. The group employs several hundred people worldwide, generates revenue in the double-digit millions, and produces heat exchangers in six-figure quantities annually at production sites in Germany, Poland and the USA. The products are used in ventilation and air-conditioning technology, in paint shops of the automotive and aerospace industries, on cruise ships, in data centers, and in buildings ranging from small apartments to factory halls. The company develops and builds most of its production machines and technologies itself.
