APL Apparatebau GmbH

APL Hopfgarten was founded in 1966 by Anton Pletzer under the name of `Stahlbau Hopfgarten`, in the town of the same name in the Austrian Tyrol. Beginning in the 1980s, the company`s own production of heat exchangers was developed; the factory hall dedicated to this product group began operation in 1996. On the basis of applications in the refrigeration industry, APL Hopfgarten developed in the 1990s into a leading manufacturer of heat exchangers, focussing particularly on the use of special materials.
