Our philosophy is our success

History for the future

Filled with the idea of ​​providing both planning and delivery services on one's own responsibility, Dipl. Ing. Edwin Karrer founded the company INTEC Engineering GmbH in July 1995. The corporate goal of INTEC - the name stands for INNOVATIVE TECHNIK  - was and is to provide customers with the best possible technical design for their systems and products.

 

Starting with engineering services, the focus of the activity has increasingly developed beyond the delivery of individual components to complete systems.

INTEC has now grown into a family business with currently over 100 employees.

The second generation is already actively involved in the company. The eldest son, Dipl. Ing. Denis Karrer, takes over responsibility for operations as Managing Director, while his younger brother, Christoph Karrer, has an M.A. in business administration and is responsible for the company's commercial affairs.

Over the last two decades, INTEC has made a name for itself worldwide in the field of industrial heat transfer. Newly developed business areas in the area of ​​renewable energies open up a broad basis for consistent further development and future success. Today, INTEC systems in more than 80 countries generate process heat with high efficiency or supply electricity using renewable fuels.

 

We see finding an individually tailored solution for each customer while implementing the requirements of the future as our daily challenge.

Innovation

Our philosophy is based on the conviction that innovative engineering in plant technology requires a commitment to quality and sustainability. With our production in Germany, we stand for this basic claim every day.

Our philosophy is based on the conviction that innovative engineering in plant technology requires a commitment to quality and sustainability. With our production in Germany, we stand for this basic claim every day.

Our systems are installed worldwide and, as “made in Germany”, stand for highly efficient, long-lasting systems with environmentally friendly technologies. With our innovative technologies, we develop renewable energy sources and generate energy and process heat from waste.

We ensure the quality of our products with continuous data analysis. Preventive maintenance and care of the systems maximize availability while minimizing costs. We can identify potential dangers at an early stage and incorporate them into the execution of future projects.

We bear and live responsibility for our world. We pay attention to preserving the diversity of plants and animals and to a healthy environment for our children and grandchildren... and their children.

Social responsibility & empathy

INTEC is inspiring because we rely on fair, open and positive interactions with one another.  Our partners are always partners on an equal footing. We keep our social and ecological responsibility in focus. Consistency and reliability ensure the trust of our employees and partners and the quality of our work.

Open approach to other cultures without prejudice, real remuneration and recognition of achievements, "FAIRE TRADE", are among our most important basic attitudes.

They are the basis of our success.

Our customers appreciate that we, together with our suppliers, service partners and subcontractors, concentrate entirely on them.

Economy

Success and security are particularly evident in the economic categories. The economy and profitability of our technology result in sustainable customer relationships. In the long term, it's always about added value for the customer and for our company.

When customers say to us, "the INTEC system is very profitable," we see it as an expression of our clients' satisfaction.

We have been working successfully with numerous customers for decades. For us, this means that our principle “the pursuit of the best quality” is accepted.

Keeping the ecological footprint as small as possible is reflected in the entire manufacturing process, purchasing, distribution and safety policy.

Our responsibility towards the environment and our fellow human beings is an irrefutable principle that has shaped our thinking for more than a quarter of a century.
