“Since 1990, ANDRITZ has acquired around 70 companies with complementary product portfolios”
ANDRITZ AG celebrating its 170th anniversary
What began in 1852 with the production of metal goods such as wire nails, chains, iron gratings and grave crosses developed into a market-leading, globally operating technology group.
ANDRITZ AG in Graz is celebrating a special anniversary: 170 years ago, the Hungarian Josef Körösi established the “k. k. privilegierte Maschinenfabrik und Eisengießerei” in Andritz near Graz, thus laying the foundation stone for today's ANDRITZ GROUP.
Today, the international technology group ANDRITZ is a globally leading supplier of plants, equipment, and services for hydropower stations, the pulp and paper industry, the metalworking and steel industries, and for solid/liquid separation in the municipal and industrial segments.
