Our Sustainability Overview – transparent und impactful
The Schmidt Kranz Group is a family-owned group of companies specializing in hydrogen applications, high-pressure technology, automation, and mining and processing technologies. Building on our roots in the mining industry, we have grown over the past 140 years through both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, and today employ approximately 2,000 people worldwide.
With our technological expertise, we are actively contributing to the energy transition. Our focus is on hydrogen applications—from compressors, refueling stations, and test benches to systems for producing green hydrogen via electrolysis. In addition, our solutions support the recycling and processing of raw materials for industrial circular processes. Developing energy- and resource-efficient solutions is a central part of our work.

As a family-owned business, we operate across generations and actively and consistently take responsibility toward our employees, customers, partners, and society in all our actions throughout the entire value chain. Our approach combines economic success with environmental and social responsibility. In doing so, we consistently follow the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” principle, optimize our use of resources, and continuously reduce our direct CO₂ emissions. “Since 2022, we have also been offsetting unavoidable emissions through carbon credits. These measures support external climate protection projects but do not replace our ongoing efforts to avoid and reduce emissions.”
In this way, the Schmidt Kranz Group combines technological progress with sustainable technological solutions and a clear sense of responsibility across generations—for a future that is worth living in and conserves resources.

„As a family business, we rely on the sustainability of our company—otherwise there will be nothing left for the next generation.
In addition to reducing our direct emissions, we are therefore fully committed to promoting hydrogen as an emission-free energy source.
