First for steam solutions – Spirax-Sarco’s company slogans brings it all together. The company relies on vast expertise to develop leading steam solutions that meet the needs of every steam and fluid processing infrastructure. Customers will find the most diverse steam systems from control valves and boiler systems to steam traps, heat exchangers, engineered systems and packages.
“Steam is not sterile,” explains Francesca Gaetani. “But there are classifications testifying that steam can be used for the sterilisation of food for instance. We use the power of steam for a broad array of applications. Our strength is that we generate thermal energy through steam; our solutions are efficient, innovative and energy-saving.”
Spirax Sarco is a British company that was founded in 1888 in London. Ever since, it has constantly grown – partly due to strategic acquisitions. Today, the company has sites in 55 countries, two production plants in Italy, 50 operating companies and more than 180 local sales offices worldwide.
In total, Spirax Sarco has a headcount of 5,000 employees and turnover stands at more than one billion EUR. In Italy, the steam system specialists have 250 employees and annual sales of 60 million EUR.
While competitors are often specialists for a specific product, we offer complete solutions and tailor-made systems for the most varied needs. Francesca GaetaniMarketing and Product Director
“Condensate technology systems have always been Spirax Sarco’s core business,” states Mrs. Gaetani. “Today, thanks to our huge expertise, we offer products for markets such as food&beverage, healthcare and oil&gas industry. Last but not least, many cruise ships are equipped, for example, with water/oil-cooling solutions for engines and hot/cold sanitary water for drinking, cooking and laundry services.For this reason, in 2016, sales have increased significantly.”
Spirax Sarco offers 150 product categories – tailor-made solutions that reflect the company’s in-depth know-how and often stand out from the market. Even in a fast-developing market the company is a trendsetter – not a follower.
