Engineering for the heavy-clay industry

In June 2010, court-supervised safeguard proceedings for Keyria led to the creation of a new division centered on its German and Italian subsidiaries. Four companies - Keller-HCW (Laggenbeck), Novoceric (Mellrichstadt), Rieter (Constance) and Morando (Asti) have now been united within the new Keller Division, offering a complete range of engineering expertise in heavy-clay products. Keller is a market leader in this truly global market. 

The Keller Division brings together expertise in the design, production and installation of turnkey plants for fired-clay products (especially brick and tiles factories), as well as innovative processes for equipment in the building materials industry.

The Keller Division currently has sales operations through subsidiaries and agents in over 40 countries, with facilities installed in Eastern and Western Europe, Russia, Korea, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Australia, Indonesia and Africa.
