About us

Who we are - our profile


FERROSTAAL is an internationally active industrial service provider and project manager in industrial plant construction. In the tradition of decades of experience as a project developer and EPC contractor in classic plant construction, we have specialized as a dynamically developing company in the integration of innovative technologies "downstream" of renewable energies generation. We offer support and solutions for the necessary technological change in traditional industries and integrate pioneering sustainable technology concepts into existing processes.

The roots of our company go back over 100 years to 1919. Today, we operate worldwide as an industrial service provider with headquarters in Hamburg and near Frankfurt as well as branches in Southern Europe, South America and North Africa. We combine the traditional values of German corporate culture with a strong regional focus in our respective branches in various foreign markets and our international network.

As part of the family-run associated company Münchmeyer Petersen & Co., our industrial clients and technology partners benefit from synergies and access to other areas along the value chain - such as shipping, trade, asset and investment management. Our own technical expertise combined with our network enables us to structure and finance plant construction projects both technically and in terms of their economic feasibility.

How we see the future

Vision

 

For us, the global energy revolution is one of the key challenges of the 21st century and plays a crucial role in tackling climate change. As energy is the essential foundation for economic and social development, we see the use of clean technologies in the energy and transportation sectors - the world's largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity - as key to creating a sustainable future.

We believe in the tremendous market opportunities that will arise in the new energy economy and see it as a significant area for investment and international competition. Our company is focused on harnessing these opportunities for our customers and making a positive impact on the global energy revolution.

How we shape the future

Mission

 

As a technology-independent project development company and system integrator, we take on the challenge of integrating innovative decarbonization technologies into existing industrial processes and expanding them. We translate our customers' overarching objectives - such as reducing their own CO2 footprint or further utilizing their own renewable by-products - into techno-economically feasible concepts and implement them together with our customers. The focus is always on the feasibility and economic benefits of each project as a prerequisite for achieving a CO2-neutral world .

As an integration service provider, we bridge the gap between industry and technology partners in the decarbonization process and take the lead from project development through to successful project implementation.
