“How can energy be saved and efficiency increased in plants?” This was Paul Verpoort’s basic question when he founded the “Gesellschaft für Wirtschaftliche Wärmeverwertung (WWV)” in 1951, or in English the “Company for cost-effective heat recovery”. With this mission, he was far ahead of his time. Verpoort’s entrepreneurial guiding principle is also reflected in early patents, for example for steam traps and heating pockets for best possible utilisation of waste heat and steam. At the time he was certainly not aware that one day areas such as pipeline and plant construction would develop from this. Today we are considered a specialist for time-critical projects and sustainable solutions – well thought-through, flexible, safe, durable.

Over decades, we have grown with the increasing demands of our customers, while at the same time maintaining all the advantages of a family-run, medium-sized company. It is part of our self-image that we always give back and contribute our many years of experience in new projects. A partnership-based exchange within the company and with our customers and suppliers is therefore an integral part of our history.
