Maxitrol: One Name Worldwide

Maxitrol: One Name Worldwide

In 1993, Mertik Regelungstechnik GmbH was purchased from the Treuhandanstalt (German priva­ti­zation agency for the East German enter­prises) and renamed Mertik Maxitrol GmbH & Co. KG. For almost three decades, Maxitrol Company and Mertik Maxitrol worked closely together to create a global organi­zation in the pursuit of developing innovative products and worldwide distri­bution. Last year, Mertik Maxitrol became a wholly owned entity of Maxitrol Company. Mertik Maxitrol has been renamed Maxitrol. Both will be collec­tively known as Maxitrol.

Mertik Maxitrol was founded in 1877 in Quedlinburg, Germany, and at one time it had more than 3,000 employees. Within two years of purchasing Mertik Regelungstechnik, Mertik Maxitrol began to transition many of its former products into new products incor­po­rating state-of-the-art technology. Today, these new products account for 98 % of the products developed and sold since 1993 resulting in 51 patents being granted in 15 countries. It is a remar­kable achie­vement and one that we take pride in.

It is a remar­kable achie­vement and one that we take pride in. But to achieve a more homoge­neous organi­zation, we believed it was time to conso­lidate our company name. This change will help establish the Maxitrol brands worldwide and clarify for our customers and indus­tries who we are and where we will be in the future. For the remainder of 2020 and into 2021, you will begin to see changes in a number of areas of the company including our corporate commu­ni­ca­tions, product identi­fi­cation, company website, and contact infor­mation.

Maxitrol Company is a long-established, trusted brand name that is synonymous with quality, relia­bility, and innovative technology, and Maxitrol (EU) products are held in the same esteem. Going forward, Maxitrol worldwide will maintain the same corporate philo­sophy and values and will strive to deliver the same great products, technology, and services for years to come. We will not only make an impact on the future of the gas industry, but we will help shape and develop systems that can be used in modern energy systems for a cleaner and safer future.
