This launch positions Dürr CTS to be faster, more focused, and more influential in shaping sustainable industrial practices worldwide.
Dürr CTS, a global leader in air pollution control and noise abatement, has officially begun operations as a standalone company, effective today. Formerly the Clean Technology Systems (CTS) division of the Dürr Group, the company is now entering a new phase, focusing on advancing environmental technologies and driving sustainable growth in industrial production.
With more than 60 years of experience in air pollution control, noise abatement, and decentralised power generation, Dürr CTS aims to make industrial production cleaner, quieter, and more efficient. Its technologies assist manufacturers across sectors such as automotive, chemicals, and energy production to meet stringent environmental and efficiency standards. Regenerative thermal oxidisers (RTOs) from Dürr CTS purify exhaust air containing solvents and odours, achieving purification levels of over 99.8%, and helping to minimise emissions in industrial processes.
Since November 2025, Dürr CTS has been majority-owned by Stellex Capital Management, which holds a 75% stake, with Dürr AG retaining a 25% minority share. The company’s independence enhances its agility and entrepreneurial spirit, allowing it to respond more swiftly to market demands and invest in forward-looking technologies.
Advancing technology and expertise for a sustainable industrial future
The global shift towards cleaner manufacturing continues to accelerate, driven by tighter emissions targets and the need for more efficient use of energy and resources. Dürr CTS addresses these challenges by combining deep process expertise, advanced engineering, and a strong customer focus. Working closely with clients worldwide, the company designs and implements systems that ensure environmental compliance while optimising plant performance.
“As a standalone company, we can build on our established strengths in air pollution control, noise abatement, and waste heat recovery while accelerating innovation in future-oriented technologies. Our strong R&D foundation enables us to further advance solutions such as CO₂ capture and thermal energy storage which are key enablers of sustainability in modern industrial production,” has stated Sebastian Baumann, CEO of Dürr CTS.
Global team with expertise and long-term stability
Dürr CTS employs around 1,300 people across 12 countries and generated annual revenues of over €400 million in 2024. Its global network of engineering, manufacturing, and service locations ensures close customer support and rapid response capabilities.
