Your Specialist for Electric Air Heaters
Our Company
We, Egger Apparatebau, are a family-owned company with around 30 employees. For over eight decades, we have been supplying leading industrial companies with electric air heaters. Our location is in Hergensweiler, in the south of Germany near Lake Constance.
We see ourselves as a partner who develops customized solutions in close collaboration with you, perfectly tailored to your individual requirements. This customer-oriented approach is deeply rooted in our company culture and is reflected in every aspect of our development process. Through intensive communication with our customers, we ensure that all requirements are precisely captured and implemented to the fullest satisfaction.
Our Manufacturing
All housings are manufactured by our qualified personnel using state-of-the-art machinery. First, all sheet metal parts are laser-cut before being shaped on a press brake or folding machine.
In the next step, our experienced employees carefully weld the sheet metal parts to create housings that meet high standards. The use of the latest technologies combined with the expertise of our staff ensures products of the highest quality and durability.
Sheet Metal Processing
In our two production halls at our Hergensweiler location, with a total of approximately 2000 square meters of production space, the electric air heaters are manufactured according to the latest quality and production standards. This allows us to ensure the highest precision, reliability, and durability.
The assembly of the air heaters is carried out in several steps. First, the coils are pre-assembled in the assembly department before being professionally wired in the electrical department. This process utilizes both heating elements from our own production and selected tubular heaters from suppliers that meet our high-quality standards.
Before leaving our halls in Hergensweiler, each air heater undergoes a final inspection where its functionality is thoroughly tested. This quality assurance process ensures that our customers receive reliable and durable products they can depend on.

On the occasion of the company's 50th anniversary, Ursula Wegener, the founder's daughter, takes over the management. Under her leadership, the tradition of innovation and quality is continued.

Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Wilhelm Herrlein takes over the company, bringing new impulses and technical know-how to expand the product range and strengthen the market position.
