Introducing STG Combustion Control GmbH & Co KG

Advanced Combustion Control for Glass Melting Furnaces

STG was founded on 18 April 1990 by three process engineers and friends from university as "Software & Technologie Glas GmbH".

Having grown steadily over the years through numerous projects and operating since 2012 as "STG Combustion Control GmbH & Co KG", our team of more than 60 highly qualified engineers, software developers and technicians develops pioneering solutions for the requirements of a modern and sustainable industrial production.
As a renowned partner to the international Glass Industry, our satisfied customers now also include the Steel, Chemical and Biotechnology sectors.

From the very beginning, we have focused on the ever-increasing demands for energy efficiency, emission reduction and process control.
The combination of state-of-the-art measurement and control technologies and the continuous development of advanced optimisation concepts make STG the ideal partner for almost all Hot End control tasks - from oxygen measurement with zirconium oxide probes to complex process control systems.
And we know that: No two projects are the same, especially today. That's why, of course, no control system comes "off the shelf", but is always tailored to the specific needs of the customer.

Powerful, efficient, sustainable. And always customised.
