About Gebr. Pfeiffer
Gebr. Pfeiffer SE is a German machinery and plant engineering company headquartered in Kaiserslautern, founded in 1864. The company develops and supplies individual machines as well as complete grinding plants, including digital solutions, for the processing of raw materials in the cement, lime, gypsum, ceramics, coal, minerals and mining industries. The product range focuses primarily on vertical roller mills of the MVR and MPS series, SLV high-efficiency classifiers and SUV/SUT spreader-plate classifiers, TRT triple dryers, machines for gypsum calcination, and the modular ready2grind grinding plants. The offering is complemented by engineering, erection, commissioning, modernization, laboratory analyses and grinding tests, as well as automation and digitalization solutions (GPlink, GPpro). The group includes AuTeBa GmbH in Kassel, specialized in process automation; further own companies exist in India, China, Brazil, the USA, Egypt, Malaysia, the UAE and Australia. More than 3,000 vertical roller mills installed in over 100 countries demonstrate the company's worldwide presence.
