EPC Group - German Engineering for more than 145 years.

We, the EPC Group, are an international technology provider as well as an engineering and turnkey plant construction company. The focus of our business is the licensing of technologies as well as the design and realisation of industrial plants and infrastructural projects. It is the combination of experience and continuous development that makes sustained innovation possible. EPC is internationally active, building economically viable turnkey industrial plants that correspond to the highest technological and environmental standards.

The passion that the EPC Group has for engineering and plant construction has been passed down through many family generations from its founders, the Henkel family. As shown by old documents, machinery from the Henkel family has been awarded prizes at a number of exhibitions as early as 1894. Almost a century later, the first company of EPC Group was founded as EPC Engineering Consulting GmbH in Rudolstadt, Germany. After the reunification of Germany, the success story continued where it had begun in Thuringia, Germany. Since its inception EPC Group has continuously developed, formed new subsidiaries and expanded its international business portfolio.
