KWK.
Based on principle.
Kraftwerk was founded in 1996 based on the conviction that primary energy must be used as efficiently as possible. That's why our Mephisto condensing combined heat and power generation units have been continuously operated based on the principle of cogeneration ever since, preventing unnecessary losses of energy.
