About us
Our Heart Beats for Hydropower
A family business in Geiersthal, Bavaria, building, repairing and modernising since 1992.
About Krönauer Maschinenbau
Krönauer Maschinenbau was founded in 1992 by Heinz Krönauer and grew out of the earlier Krönauer Maschinenhandel. He first encountered hydropower during his apprenticeship at a Lower Bavarian paper mill that ran turbines of its own. In 1979 he took over the management of the Marienthal hydro-electric plant.
In 1995 he acquired a cardboard factory in Thuringia and modernised it by 1997. Since then the plant has generated electricity again with new Kaplan turbines. More than 50 years of practical and commercial experience in hydropower form the foundation of our company.
Although our core competence lies in hydropower, we also take on the challenges of specialised mechanical engineering, planning and manufacturing machines and plant to individual requirements. But the heart of this company beats, unmistakably, for hydropower.
Quality, Innovation and Trust
Our success rests on long experience, qualified staff, flexibility and reliability. Preventive quality measures begin at the design stage, so that product characteristics are planned and controlled before manufacturing starts.
With certification to DIN EN ISO 9001 we have chosen a quality management system that is recognised nationally and internationally. All organisational, commercial and technical activities that influence product quality are planned, controlled and monitored.
What guarantees our work is close and trusting cooperation — with our customers just as much as with our suppliers.
