Clauger
According to Luke , two aspects set Clauger apart from its competition . Firstly , innovation is at the core of its DNA , and is central to its mission . “ We manufacture specialty equipment to fill the unmet needs of a market or client , adding concrete value over the long term . Working in close partnership with our customers , we co-develop tailor-made solutions , while giving them the benefit of our expertise .
“ The equipment manufactured and installed by Clauger is a result of strengthening our multidisciplinary teams throughout our history . This has led to the development of a few star products such as custom skid packages , heat pump systems , EcoCTA ( hygienic air handling system ), fast cooling tunnels and cells , MyPortal3E ( an AI tool that optimizes sites over time ), MyClaugerDetect , and more ,” says Luke .
Intelligent solutions
Complementing its innovation , Clauger also excels in service solutions , and delivers the expertise required for customer plants to operate safely , reliably , and economically . “ The business also supports clients through changing market conditions , consumer demands , and new regulatory standards . Our service team partners with clients to help reduce energy consumption , cut OpEx costs , adapt or improve output and enhance safety .
