We are Export Champion 2025

A few thoughts from us on why exports are the key driver of success for Kohlbach Energieanlagen GmbH:

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks for this recognition. This prestigious award, presented by the Carinthian Chamber of Commerce and Raiffeisen Landesbank Carinthia, means more to us than just a trophy – it’s a powerful confirmation of our commitment and achievements.
A big thank you to every single member of our #OneKohlbach team. Each of you is a vital piece of our shared success. 

Without exports, Kohlbach would not be where we are today. Jakob and Josefine Kohlbach recognized early on: those who manufacture specialized products must think globally. As early as 1970, our export rate exceeded 50% – a clear sign of our early international focus. The Kohlbach brand became synonymous worldwide with efficient, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions based on biomass residues. Today, the family business is led by Mag. Walter Kohlbach in its second generation. In the 2023/2024 fiscal year, Kohlbach Energieanlagen GmbH achieved an export rate of 80%. Despite our global orientation, our production and engineering remain firmly rooted in Carinthia. We intentionally leave room for local sourcing and for the contributions of our international partners to ensure resilient service to our markets and global customers. Kohlbach stands for quality over quantity: with two locations in Carinthia, subsidiaries in Germany, France, Croatia, and Switzerland, and a global partner network, we ensure close proximity to our clients. Direct export remains our preferred route into international markets. With more than 15 languages spoken in our engineering office alone, we are both culturally and linguistically well-equipped. At the same time, we maintain a strong local partner network in numerous countries – from Japan to Mexico.

For us, one thing is clear: export is not a side business – it is our foundation.
The #OneKohlbach team – dedicated, experienced, and solution-oriented – is now successfully delivering projects on every continent. 

Good People. Good Energy. Worldwide.
