Kuttner North America

Kuttner North America was founded in 1999, as a joint venture of Kuttner GmbH & Co. KG and Modern Equipment. Main products, at that time, were cupola furnaces and material handling. Over the years and with changed ownerships, additional technologies were brought into the portfolio, such as air pollution controls (with the partnership of Luehr Filter), dirty gas, heat recovery, and heat exchangers (with the partnership of Wuerz GmbH).

Today, Kuttner North America is built on a stable foundation of business in foundries, steel industries, and waste to energy. The ownership remains with Kuttner GmbH & Co. KG, Luehr Filter, and privately held shares.
