Über uns

During this procedure also economical aspects are investigated, so that investment and operating costs can be optimized. In this way first applications worldwide are created through product and process development in close cooperation with the customers.

Further steps in the realization process are engineering, design of components, construction and manufacturing. Installation, commissioning and training of operating personnel complete our services as a one-stop-shop.

MANUFACTURING

Engineering services provided by NATEX are complemented by the manufacturing abilities of INNOWELD, a company specialized in the supply of high pressure apparatus, components and fittings for industrial scale plants according to all main international norms and standards. Turn-key projects can be realized to the full satisfaction of the customers as a result of the combined efforts of the two specialized companies.

HISTORY

NATEX is a follow-up of Schoeller-Bleckmann (SB) Process Technology Division, where more than 25 years ago the industrial application of dense CO2 gas technology was introduced. 1993 the experience, know-how, patents and pilot units were transferred exclusively to NATEX in the course of a management buy-out. The shareholders of NATEX are former key employees of SB Process Technology Division and INNOWELD. The close ties with INNOWELD, a well established manufacturer of high pressure equipment, were continued after NATEX was founded. This resulted in a unique combination of process know-how, equipment supply and provision of services for all applications of supercritical fluid technology.

OWNERS

NATEX Prozesstechnologie GesmbH was founded in 1993 as an independent private company and is owned by five key employees and INNOWELD Metallverarbeitung Ges.m.b.H.

INNOWELD is specialized in designing and manufacturing high pressure apparatus and fittings made of carbon and stainless steel as well as of high and highest alloyed materials.

Our MISSION

The main focus of our mission is the use of established and the introduction of new supercritical fluid technologies for innovative products and processes for future society. In this way we intend to promote care for living beings and for the protection of the environment.
