Another eventful year has gone by – we navigated tumultuous waters witnessing the aftermath of a pandemic, an unprecedented energy crisis, and global uncertainty. Despite all those hardships, we at KLINGER were able to achieve multiple successes, some of which we would like to share with you in this latest issue of our YEARBOOK. Our customers again played a vital part in our success. That is why we want to shine a spotlight on some of our most fruitful collaborations of the past year, from an energy audit in Spain that brought both efficiency and environmental benefits to a chemical plant (see pages 38 and 39) to a new power-to-heat system at the Spittelau waste incineration plant in Vienna, replacing a fossil fuel combustion system while also showcasing KLINGER’s ability to cater to its customers’ needs (pages 40 and 41).

Many more stories in our section on environmental and social responsibility demonstrate how KLINGER cares about the world we live in. An alternative perspective on this world is presented in our cover story outlining the KLINGER ecosystem. It spans national borders and often continents, transferring not only products but also valuable knowledge from our subsidiaries all over the world. We invite you to explore the many possibilities within this global network that has been growing for decades on pages 7 to 9.

Another topic worth exploring is the effort to inspire women to pursue careers in technical sectors. Our new section “Female Engineering” sets the stage for two women who are true role models: Viktoria Heiermann and Jane Abi Aad talk about the challenges of rising through the ranks in a male-dominated business and what advice they would give young women who aspire to follow in their footsteps (pages 28 to 31). Finally, we’d like to give a special shoutout to our sales partners: The Ruml Group and Groupe Efire show through their long-lasting partnerships what it means to be in business with KLINGER – stability, reliability, and trust are the core values of collaborations that span generations of families who have thrived doing business together. With this in mind, we would like to thank you for your business in 2022 and hope you enjoy our review of this successful year.

And here’s to 2023, another year during which we plan to make a difference in the world while also exceeding expectations.
