Overview

KHD Humboldt Wedag International Ltd (“KHD”) can trace its origins back to 1856. Today KHD is one of the leading global cement plant and equipment suppliers. In addition KHD provides services such as designing and engineering, project management and supply, as well as supervision of erection and commission of cement plants and equipment. Customer services such as supply of replacements parts, plant optimization and training of plant personnel complement KHD’s services. KHD’s core equipment includes a wide range of grinding and pyro-process technologies. KHD’s grinding technologies are utilized in raw material, clinker and finished cement grinding and include crushing, grinding and separation equipment, while KHD’s pyro-process equipment includes pre-heaters, calciner systems, kilns, burners and clinker coolers. KHD also has developed a range of systems automation products, including process control systems and equipment optimization products. Manufacturing is almost entirely outsourced to contract manufacturers who produce the equipment to KHD’s specifications.

Products and services are either provided directly to the operator of a cement plant, or in a consortium that includes equipment specialists in particular in the complementary fields of materials transport, blending, storage and packing or as an equipment supplier as part of an overall turn-key project.

The company can provide either single equipment, a package of equipment or offer ‘full-line’ equipment supply sufficient for a complete cement plant equipment line. The latter offering would include equipment from other specialized suppliers and usually KHD would take supervisory and technological responsibility for the entire cement plant process.

KHD’s strategic approach to the market is to be the leading supplier of innovative, environmentally friendly and energy efficient technologies focused on reduced operating and maintenance costs.

The company has its headquarters in Cologne, Germany and functionally operates worldwide via four Customer Service Centres in India; the Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Russia/CIS. KHD also has operations in Asia Pacific, China and Australia. The KHD Group has more than 700 employees worldwide.
