Short history of Finow Rohrsysteme

• The industrial manufacturing of piping system elements has got already a 100 years
history and tradition in Eberswalde-Finow.
Until 1945 the Company Franz Seiffert (under Mannesmann-ownership) grew into a
highly modern and powerful industrial company.
• Finow was the most important manufacturer of piping systems for fossile fired and
nuclear power plants and the chemical industry in the GDR with developed acitivities
in the COMECON.
• After the re-unification of Germany, Finow was privatized and operated in close
connection with Babcock. In 1997 Finow was re-founded as a independend mid-sized
producer of piping systems.
• With effect from 1 January 2007 the former FINOW Rohrleitungssystem- und
Apparatebau Serviceleistungs GmbH has been taken over by Kraftanlagen München
GmbH.
• With effect from 1 August 2022 the former FINOW Rohrsysteme GmbH has been
taken over by Technoenergy AG.
In association with this well-established Manufacturer TPBS, Finow Rohrsysteme
continues the tradition of manufacturing high-quality products designed for the power,
chemical and industrial plant industry at the site in the town of Eberswalde, Germany.
