Production

Reliability through quality

Our Approach

Production is where engineering proves its value. At GKT, manufacturing is an integral part of delivering process solutions that perform reliably under real industrial conditions.

With over 90 years of experience, we combine engineering and fabrication know-how with industrial execution to deliver components and systems defined by precision, durability and consistent performance.

Our scope

Quality. Made in Austria.

GKT manufactures key components and specialized pressure equipment at its Austrian sites.

In Gloggnitz, we focus on falling-film evaporators and lamella production. In Attnang-Puchheim, production centers on components for thin-film and short-path technology.

Both facilities operate to international standards. The close link between engineering and manufacturing ensures that all components are designed, built, and delivered in line with process requirements.

Lamella technology

In-house production.
Advanced forming technology.

Lamella production for plate falling-film evaporators is a key element of GKT’s manufacturing capabilities.

At our site in Gloggnitz, we develop and produce lamellas in-house using a specially developed plate forming process, refined over decades of industrial use.

A wide range of formats, materials, and welding techniques allows precise control over geometry and thermal performance.

For our customers, this results in reliable heat transfer and components precisely matched to their process environment.
