GEORG HEUER BEHÄLTERHANDEL UND INDUSTRIEBEDARF GMBH

Georg Heuer GmbH is today one of the oldest trading houses for used process vessels. The experience dates back to the years after the Second World War. In the large city of Düsseldorf, the namesake of our company, Georg Heuer, began trading valuable plant parts in 1949. Initially, these were aluminum tanks from railway stocks. Later, many other tanks were added, sometimes even entire wagons. In the second generation, Peter Frank took over the business. He had supported Georg Heuer for many years as a financial accountant. In 1996, he handed the company over to the dismantling expert Klaus Franzkoch and the businesswoman Sylvia Maurer. The couple not only relocated the company to East Westphalia but also significantly expanded the business in the following years. The leap into the top tier of European used vessel trading occurred in the post-reunification years when many state-owned enterprises were liquidated in East Germany. In the first decade of the new millennium, it became possible to find not only more and more customers in Germany but also in other countries in Europe as well as in the Middle East.
