In the foundry segment it supplies cupola melt centers, sand preparation and reclamation systems, casting handling lines, and centrifugal casting machines, with controls and automation delivered by in‑house specialists. The company has dedicated business areas for Energy & Environment and Electrics & Automation. It designs and supplies process‑gas cleaning, heat recovery and waste‑heat‑to-power systems, fluidized‑bed sewage‑sludge incineration plants, and industrial wastewater treatment using ceramic membrane filtration, supported by proprietary technologies such as ECOSTAT heat pipes and ECOFLOW systems. Its electrics and industrial automation teams integrate hardware and software from major control-system vendors and support Industry 4.0 and digital operations. Hatch Küttner is also active in collaborative R&D, contributing metallurgical, plant‑engineering, and recycling expertise to EU projects such as CRUSADE, which targets low‑CO2, AI‑driven recycling of end‑of‑life automotive components and critical raw materials.
