About the company

For over 30 years, Heger Edelstahl has stood for the highest quality, precision and innovation in the field of stainless steel processing. As a reliable partner in plant engineering, tank construction and customised stainless steel products, we support industry and commerce throughout Austria and beyond- from planning to final implementation. Our claim: solutions that are perfectly tailored to the needs of our customers.

We are a medium-sized company with a core competence in stainless steel processing since 1989. Our manageable company size allows us to offer you tailored solutions, flexibility, and short response times. Thanks to our lean organisational structure, we can deliver high-quality products at competitive prices – without unnecessary overhead.

Our experienced and certified welders ensure the highest level of precision in manufacturing. We use modern production technologies to set ourselves apart from the competition and provide you with products of exceptional quality.

A high degree of in-house prefabrication offers numerous advantages: fast delivery times, minimal downtime during installation, and an all-in-one solution – without interface issues or overlapping warranties.

With the expansion of our production facility by 400 m², the installation of a waterjet cutting system, and the increased manufacturing of complete systems and components made from special materials, we can now offer even more comprehensive solutions. We also manufacture apparatuses, tanks, and plant components in special alloys – all with the highest quality standards.
