Precision movement
Our advanced “Combi Concept” technology provides first-class heat treatment for stainless steel and superalloys, fulfilling the strict requirements of the aerospace and automotive industries.
Leveling up the production of stainless steel
Last year, Cleveland-Cliffs started up a new EBNER bright annealing line for stainless steel at its Coshocton works in Ohio, USA. Opening ceremonies took place in the presence of CEO Lourenço Gonçalves, along with local politicians and employee representatives.
Global Engineering in practice
In today’s industrial landscape, success depends not only on technical expertise but also on effective intercultural collaboration. This current project between HPI and a U.S. customer demonstrates how international teamwork can turn ambitious ideas into reality.
Driving Green Technologies
Responsibility for the future. With our sustainable solutions, we are driving decarbonization in the industry.
EBNER and Waelzholz set new standards with ECOMODE
The decades of cooperation between EBNER and C.D. Waelzholz GmbH & Co. KG represent one of the most successful partnerships in the field of heat treatment technology. Over the years, what began as a classic customer/supplier relationship has developed into a close technological collaboration that serves as a prime example of future-oriented innovation in an industrial context.
Zero-emission heat treatment
Decarbonizing the steel industry is essential – especially energy-intensive processes like heat treatment. In this interview, Sascha Eppensteiner explains how emission-free technologies such as electric direct heating and smart heat recovery systems, exemplified by the GREENBAFx®, contribute to climate-neutral production while remaining economically viable.
From concept to reality: the development of GREENBAFx®
Sustainability is no longer a trend – it’s shaping industrial innovation. With the GREENBAFx®, EBNER has developed an emission-free, energy-efficient solution that proves ecology and economy can go hand in hand. In this interview, Sascha Eppensteiner shares insights into the idea, technological challenges, and the future of green industrial processes.

Compact Coil Furnace (CCF)
To improve the economic and ecological performance of industrial heat treatment processes, there is an increasing focus on energy optimized plant concepts. The Compact Coil Furnace (CCF) combines modern technology with high efficiency and sets new standards in the heat treatment of individual coils.
Global leader in Aluminum plate heat treatment
Innovation, precision, and decades of experience have made EBNER the world’s technology leader in the heat treatment of aluminum plates for the aerospace industry.
Innovative annealing technologiesfor wire rod and drawn wire
Hot-rolled and Stelmor-cooled wire rod are essential starting materials for a number of cold forming processes. The first heat treatment a coil of wire rod usually undergoes is a spheroidization anneal, where the as-cast hot-rolled microstructure is optimized for additional cold forming. The decisive factors for this process are the ability to precisely control the temperature and the composition of the atmosphere.
Solution anneals, partial anneals and more
In this interview, Markus Gangl, Senior Product Manager Aluminum, explains how EBNER Industrieofenbau uses state-of-the-art furnace technologies to accurately control these processes, which processes are used for which alloys and why the right combination of temperature control, atmosphere flow design and quenching technology makes the difference between run-of-the-mill and peak performance.
Intelligent process control in bell annealer furnace facilities
We recently interviewed Richard Speletz, Model Developer, who explained how physics-based models, digital twins and AI algorithms will revolutionize control systems and optimize bell annealer furnaces – providing everything from intelligent responses to process faults to precision temperature control.
From Design Engineer to Executive Vice President: Thomas Langthaler
Thomas Langthaler has been part of EBNER since 2001. In the interview, he talks about how he optimizes workflows and interfaces within Engineering, why teamwork is the key factor for success for him, and what motivates him every day when facing new challenges.
