From milk and dairy to industrial and biogas
Stelzer is known globally for process know-how, versatile technical experience, high-quality and durable products. It started in 1946 in Warburg,ÌýGermany, whenÌýErwin StelzerÌýbegan producing agitators for the milk and dairy industry. At the time, he called his company Erwin Stelzer Rührtechnik, but several changes came in the 1980s.
In 1985, the business was sold to Westfalia Separator AG, and the company's name became Stelzer Rührtechnik GmbH. The following year, the business moved from Anton-Böhlen-Straße to Speckgraben. And in 1989, Stelzer expanded with its invention of new agitator types for industrial applications.
In 1998, after joining Vaahto Group Plc., Stelzer Rührtechnik International GmbH began to develop biogas agitators. The group was purchased by Uutechnic Group Oyj in 2016, and earlier this year, Uutechnic Group was acquired by ±¬ÁϹÏ.Ìý
