EWB Kornyezetvedelmi Kft. - Hungary
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.
Over 75 plants of various types have been executed by EWB Kft. till date employing
either the hydraulic wet system or pneumatic dry system. EWB has built plants in Germany,
Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic, Yugoslavia, Romania, Turkey, Greece, Indonesia etc.

tests on difficult material prior to designing the handling systems.

Eriez Magnetics based in Erie, Pennsylvania is the World Authority in Magnetic,

Merwin, a salesperson for grain milling equipment, as a solution to his customers who
often complained about damage to their Milling equipment from Tramp iron. Today Eriez is a
USD 100 million company with plants in USA, Mexico, Australia, Brazil, China, Europe,
Japan, Mexico and India and manufactures a range of products that may be largely

Mineral Processing, aggregate, coal as well as other sectors as food, ceramics, sugar,
flour milling, plastics, glass, pharmaceuticals, etc.
MBE were selling agents for Eriez for close to 15 years. As the economy opened and
opportunities grew, it was felt a plant that could provide Eriez' products at Indian
prices would help immensely in penetrating the market to a greater extent. The agency
blossomed into a joint venture and EMIL was formed in 1999. It is engaged in the
manufacture of almost the entire range of Eriez products in India while the Bangalore
office of MBE takes care of the marketing of EMIL manufactured products.
