EWB Kornyezetvedelmi Kft. - Hungary

A 100% subsidiary of MBE, EWB Kft. is one of the leading Pneumatic conveying and ash handling solution providers in the world and has over 45 years of experience in Bottom Ash, Coarse Ash and Fly ash handling technologies.

EWB Kft. originated from Eroterv Power Plant Engineers, a company formed by the Hungarian government to set up power plants on turnkey basis in Hungary and elsewhere in Europe. The Ash Handling Division of Eroterv was formed in 1955. In 1990, Wagner Biro, Austria, one of the leading companies in Europe acquired 50% stake in the ash handling division and a new entity Eroterv Wagner-Biro Ltd. was created. By 2000, Wagner-Biro increased its stake to 90%. Subsequently, following a corporate decision to hive off the power plant manufacturing business, Wagner -Biro sought to divest its stake in EWB.

MBE had a collaboration agreement with EWB since 1997 for setting up ash handling systems in India. When the sale of EWB came up, MBE acquired the shares of EWB from Wagner Biro and thereafter the balance 10% from the government and today EWB Kornyezetvedelmi Kft. is a 100% subsidiary of MBE.

EWB Kft. has executed over 75 plants of various types till date employing either the hydraulic wet system or pneumatic dry system. EWB has built plants in Germany, Hungary, Austria, The Czech Republic, Yugoslavia, Romania, Turkey, Greece and Indonesia.

EWB is a pioneer in the field of Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveying Systems and has built 40 such plants all over the world.

EWB works closely with the Budapest Technical University on technology development and testing. A 30 TPH pilot plant is also installed at the University by EWB Kft. to undertake tests on difficult material prior to designing the handling systems.
