Tanks and process technology business Ziemann Holvrieka has been named official solution partner of Siemens AG.

The partnership applies to automation systems, drives and Siemens Sistar Braumat expert module. Ziemann Holvrieka, which specialises in the brewing, beverage and liquid food industry, is certified for “exceptional expertise in automation”.

From its base in Ludwigsburg it said it can provide top-quality future-ready automation solutions anywhere in the world in conjunction with systems from Siemens.

In addition, Ziemann Holvrieka is celebrating a world first, as Koray Müftiler, key account manager of Siemens AG, explained: “I’m very pleased that the certification is now complete and that we can officially announce our Solution Partnership. This makes Ziemann Holvrieka the first plant engineering company in the market to be certified for Braumat and Sistar.”

The Siemens Solution Partner certificate was presented in Ludwigsburg by a Siemens delegation comprising Frank Hauber, Koray Müftiler and Dirk Grafe. Ziemann Holvrieka was represented at the ceremony by Klaus Gehrig, CEO, Wolfram Hänsel, Head of Process Automation Software, and the staff of the automation team.

The certificate was presented at Ziemann Holvrieka’s pilot plant, which has operated for years with Siemens Braumat. Klaus Gehrig explained his company’s thorough familiarity with Braumat: “Cooperation between our companies in automation began decades ago.

“Ziemann Holvrieka has therefore become an expert in Braumat and created highly efficient module libraries. This knowledge is unique in the market. So it’s appropriate that we should be the first to be certified by Siemens for Braumat and Sistar.”
