Claudius Peters awarded the “Innovativ durch Forschung” certificate

Germany has more than 3.5 million companies and statistics show less than one percent of those companies conduct research. It’s a proven fact that only the companies who do research can discover new technologies and create innovation and growth. In 2016 the Stifterverband (www.stifterverband.info) awarded Claudius Peters, a research-based company, the “Innovativ durch Forschung” certificate.

Claudius Peters continues to remain at the forefront of materials handling and processing technology by maintaining a vigorous research, development and test programme. The Technikum building, located at the Buxtehude headquarters site, also houses a permanent exhibition of Claudius Peters’ key technologies. Trial and testing facilities ensure that every new application is fully evaluated before proceeding to full-scale plant.

About Claudius Peters

The name Claudius Peters has been synonymous with the global cement and gypsum industry for over a century. Founded in 1906, the eponymous company became part-owned by the British Babcock organization in the 1950’s and was owned by them outright from the 1970’s until being acquired by Langley Holdings PLC in 2002.

Today the Claudius Peters group also serves the alumina and global steel industries. Claudius Peters has subsidiaries in the United States, Brazil, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Romania, India, Singapore and China and employs over 580 people worldwide.
