Add Better Consulting
On one side, you need to optimize continuously to ensure a resilient business. On the other, the sustainability demands are multiplying fast and becoming more stringent – both externally and internally. Yet with Add Better Consulting, it's not a question of one or the other, but rather a harmonious approach of both.
GEA’s end-to-end support for your sustainability journey
At GEA, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We understand the challenges you face in the process industry, from rising energy costs, tightening regulations, to creating and meeting your own sustainability targets.
That’s why we offer specialized consulting and engineering services that support you — no matter where you are on your sustainability journey — whether you’re defining your strategy, optimizing operations, or scaling your impact.
With all core competencies in-house, our cross-functional teams bring deep industry expertise across every phase, helping you achieve tangible results in decarbonization, resource efficiency, and long-term performance.
Add Better Consulting – Accelerating your green transition
As the essential starting point of your sustainability journey, Add Better Consulting turns your ambition into actionable plans. We help you design a clear sustainability roadmap and prepare your company and production sites for a successful, sustainable transition.
No one knows your factory and production lines better than you do. Real, measurable progress comes from working together. At GEA, we bring expertise across processing, heating, and cooling technologies together under one roof. Our dedicated team of experts combines deep, cross-disciplinary engineering knowledge to assess your plants holistically—while also identifying the critical details that make a measurable difference in both the short and long term.
From plan to plant and beyond
The holistic optimization and decarbonization approach of Add Better Consulting includes technical feasibility studies to develop concepts and flexible technical solutions that are in line with your climate targets and legal requirements.
We design action plans aimed at modernizing production lines to minimize total ownership costs, increase efficiency, cut energy consumption, reuse waste heat streams and integrate renewable energy sources – from plan to plant and beyond.
The power of the bigger picture
True efficiency gains often require a holistic review of plant operations, beyond incremental improvements. While some improvement in plant efficiency can be achieved in small, incremental steps, the largest gains come from examining plants holistically, across the entire process chain.
Our expertise spans the entire process chain, enabling us to collaborate closely with you to identify and implement comprehensive enhancements — ranging from single optimizable process, and machinery upgrades, to switching from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources.
Add Better Consulting will empower you with the what and the how regarding improvements – both short-term and long-term. Every step of that journey will transcend into the long-term strategy to reach your sustainability goals.
