GEA technologies in the cold block process incorporate the high microbiological and hygienic demands of food production and the necessity for a cost-effective and safe process.
We engineer and build a wide variety of cold block piping solutions. From the manually operated pipe fence solution, sometime including hoses, to the highly complex and fully automated transportation system for all liquids based on our ECO-MATRIX® piping solution. Individual needs can be considered – quality and product safety are our drivers, and the beer quality our motivation.

GEA ECO-MATRIX® is a fully automatic fixed piping system for process tanks in the beverage industry. It provides enhanced product quality and offers significant cost saving opportunities.

Pipe fences of GEA provide a cost-effective solution for media distribution in breweries. Just like the swing bend panels, our pipe fences are designed to customer specifications and individually tailored for your system.

In piping systems with GEA swing bend panels, media distribution is performed via pipe bends and valves (generally butterfly valves). In this case, the operators must have good knowledge of the process in order to avoid errors.

Our extensive experience and expertise in valve block design guarantees high maintainability/accessibility as well as low space requirement.
Looking to the future of beer for our 150th
Since 2019, GEA has risen from underperformer to DAX member – one of Germany's top 40 listed companies – by fostering entrepreneurship and turning sustainability into a competitive advantage. It reached this milestone in its nearly 145-year history without tailwinds or shortcuts, in a world of compounding crises. This turnaround shows what's possible when purpose and performance align.
This year was a big one for GEA. Can you remember all the milestones and highlights?
The GEA Foundation launched this year with a promise: to make a tangible difference in people's lives. From scholarships in Germany to clean water in Tanzania, the foundation is already proving that when companies commit to giving back, lives change.
