History of ANDRITZ TEP in Slavonski Brod, Croatia

1921 – Đuro Đaković TEP was the constituent part of the Đuro Đaković Group. The company was founded in 1921 as “THE FIRST YUGOSLAV FACTORY OF WAGONS, MACHINERY AND BRIDGES Ltd.” in Brod on the Sava (Slavonski Brod since 1934). The town left 100 acres of land at the company’s disposal, and in return the factory provided the town with electricity. Since 2022 the company is part of the ANDRITZ GROUP.

1926 – The factory built the first steam locomotive, “Sava”, for narrow track railway lines. This year can therefore be considered the year in which the production of steam boiler plants began.

1952 – A contract was concluded with the well-known company Babcock & Wilcox on business and technical cooperation in the field of engineering, production, and the erection of power plants. The factory employed 2,500 workers and clerks.

1969 – Up to this year, the factory had been producing boiler plants for mines, steel factories, and other factories for various kinds of fuels: oil-fired boilers, auxiliary flue gas marine boilers, various kinds of angle tube boilers, and utilization boilers. Đuro Đaković became the largest manufacturer of Steambloc boilers in the world. Its share in the former state’s total boiler production was 25%. Đuro Đaković employed 5,575 workers. ĐĐ welders became the best welders in the country by far.

1980: “ĐĐ” became recognized as a manufacturer of capital objects around the globe. The company worked on nuclear power plants in the Soviet Union, and manufactured boilers and building power plants in various countries such as China, the United Arab Emirates, and Lebanon. All entities of Đuro Đaković employed a total of 16,339 workers – the highest number of employees since the factory was founded.

Đuro Đaković TEP was privatized in the 1990s and is now no longer part of the Đuro Đaković Group. At the beginning of the 21st century, it was briefly owned by Babcock in Germany, but soon afterwards became part of Austrian Energy & Environment (AE&E).

Air- and water-cooled reciprocating step grate

Most modern power plants for the production of energy from waste (EfW) use the proven technology of heat treatment on mixed municipal waste, RDF and SRF. Air- and water-cooled combustion grates and tailor-made boilers, which are manufactured in our European facilities, are the core components of most current EfW plants.
