Issued at 2013-07-23



T Industrieofen + Stranggieß-Technik GmbH became a member of the Küttner Group on 1 January, 2013. The company is operating with the brand name IST Technology and is a part of the Küttner Group’s non ferrous industries business unit.

Founded in 1949, the worldwide operating Küttner Group designs and builds turnkey plants for the iron, steel and non-ferrous metal industry, as well as in the field of energy and environmental technology. The range of services covers all stages of a project starting with expert advice, individual planning, design, delivery of mechanical and electrical equipment and steel construction, installation and commissioning of complete plants with control systems and data processing. The Küttner Group today employs over 650 people.

Under the direction of Dipl-Ing. Christian Hamers, the company has expanded the product range of the non ferrous industries business with technologies for the aluminium industry. IST will provide expertise for the melting and casting of aluminium into the aluminium division of the Kuttner Group. For existing customers of IST, the consolidation means that not only individual components can be provided, but also complete plants composed by turnkey construction of the charging, industrial furnace, heat recovery, off gas cleaning and automation. Plants for the production of aluminium from secondary materials can now also be realised. In addition to new construction, individual solutions for optimisation and modernisation of facilities are also offered.

IST customers will have access to the same people to ensure a continuation of familiar skills and technologies.
In a statement issued the Küttner Group said: “Consolidating the existing market presence of both companies in their respective field of activities now allows serving of a larger and even more international circle of customers.“
