KWK.
Based on principle.
Kraftwerk was founded in 1996 based on the conviction that primary energy must be used as efficiently as possible. That is why our Mephisto condensing cogeneration units have always operated on the principle of combined heat and power, avoiding unnecessary energy losses. With our Direktor control system, we are able to manage all energy producers today and in the energy system of the future in this regard, and we are consistently continuing along this path.
