GEA Insights
At Carlsberg’s Fredericia brewery, GEA VARIVENT valves are part of a long-game strategy. By reusing core valve bodies, retrofitting actuators and control tops, and planning maintenance around brewing seasons, Carlsberg extends asset life, reduces downtime and supports its ambitious water and sustainability targets.
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
When plant-forward South Korean food producer Pulmuone brought GEA the challenge of developing a modern spin on the traditional chewy cold (naengmyeon) noodle, GEA’s R&D experts were up to the challenge. They helped develop what is now a commercial hit produced with less water and electricity than previously existing methods. The result is also true to the traditional origins of the dish as well as Pulmuone’s health, well-being and sustainability roots.
At GEA, our commitment to engineering for a better world fuels our pursuit of innovative solutions that enhance patient care and safety. One of our most promising ventures in recent years is aseptic spray drying – a technology that promises to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.
遠心分離機の開発では、一滴一滴と1キロワット時が重要です。GEAは130年以上にわたり、遠心分離機を製造してきました。これは、おそらく皆が毎日意識していることではないでしょう。GEAの分離機製品ライン担当副社長ユルゲン・マッケルと、乳製品用遠心分離機のポートフォリオを担当するプロダクトマネージャー、クリスチャン・ベッカーは、まさにこのことを実践しており、技術的進歩、現在の市場環境、そして持続可能性のあらゆる側面からの要求に応える新しいソリューションを一貫して提供し続けています。GEAのエンジニアリング技術が、世界中のさまざまな産業の生産現場に何をもたらしているのか、ぜひご覧ください。
We have compiled for you the amount of water it takes to produce favorite brunch ingredients. As our freshwater resources are increasingly threatened by climate change and pollution, we at GEA are working on technologies to help reduce water consumption and wastewater volumes in industry on a large scale, especially in dairy and food production.
A quiet revolution is happening behind the dairy aisle. Dairy farms are going high tech to achieve new levels of efficiency, plant-based alternatives are gaining market share, and now precision fermentation is enabling animal-free dairy products that look, taste and feel like the real thing. For food companies looking to meet the world’s growing demand for dairy more sustainably, precision fermentation looks increasingly like a critical piece of the puzzle. Realizing its promise will depend a lot on efficient industrial-scale production.
GEA 遠心分離機の歴史は、フランツ・ラメゾールとフランツ・シュミットが特許を取得した機械式ミルクセパレーターの生産を開始した1893年に始まり、これを機に近代的な乳製品加工への道が切り開かれることとなりました。この技術革新は、19世紀末のドイツで増え続ける都市人口にいかにミルクを供給するかという、当時の大きな課題を克服するのに役立ちました。そして、活況を呈する乳業業界に拍車をかけることにもなるのです。1913年までには、ドイツ国内で遠心分離機を製造する会社が67社にまで増加し、その多くはエルデの工場付近に位置していました。130年にわたり分離技術をリードしてきたGEAは、現在も遠心分離機について再考を続けています。
GEA has further expanded its information security and cybersecurity capabilities across the Group in recent months. Independent certifications confirm this progress, and GEA has again expanded their scope. The Group's Information Security Management System (ISMS) is certified by TÜV Rheinland to the internationally recognized standard ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and now covers 98 sites worldwide – 45 of which were newly added in the past twelve months.
GEA’s past fiscal year was one of significant growth and further profitability gains. In particular, the technology group substantially increased order intake, with all divisions contributing here. GEA also made progress in all Mission 30 strategic growth areas. In addition, GEA met key interim targets under its climate plan ahead of schedule. Major milestones in fiscal year 2025 were admission to the DAX index, the award of one of the largest contracts in the company’s history, and streamlining of the corporate structure.
The preliminary EBITDA margin before restructuring expenses for full year 2025 amounts to 16.5 percent. This is slightly above the previously guided range of between 16.2 to 16.4 percent. Furthermore, preliminary order intake in the fourth quarter amounted to EUR 1,828 million, exceeding the average market expectation* of EUR 1,708 million by 7.0 percent.
