Fischer - Gaskets for plate heat exchangers

Fischer Heat Exchanger was founded in 1933 by Ernst Fischer in Austria. Since its inception, the company embarked on a trajectory marked by innovation, specialization, and global expansion.

At its inception, Fischer was a versatile machinery builder catering to the diverse needs of the food industry. Armed with a blend of in-house production capabilities and engineering expertise, the company swiftly gained a reputation for delivering bespoke solutions tailored to individual customer requirements—a hallmark of its identity that endures to this day.

The pivotal year of 1945 witnessed Fischer’s strategic pivot towards specialization, focusing on the production of plate heat exchangers and centrifugal pumps primarily for the burgeoning beverage industry. This foresight positioned Fischer as a trailblazer, being among the pioneers worldwide in manufacturing plate heat exchangers for the food sector.

The dawn of the 1960s heralded a new chapter as the second generation assumed leadership, propelling Fischer’s sales footprint beyond Austrian borders and into the broader European market. A tangible symbol of this expansion came in 1964 with the establishment of an additional factory in Ebreichsdorf, south of Vienna, which stands as the company’s headquarters today.

By the 1980s, the reins passed to the third generation, initiating the company’s foray into global markets. This era saw the nascent stages of a concerted effort to build an international sales network—a vision that continues to drive Fischer’s growth trajectory.

Since 1997, under the stewardship of Dr. techn. Harald Fischer, Ing. Bernhard Fischer, and Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Herbert Fischer, Fischer has witnessed a paradigm shift. Not content with merely refining plate heat exchangers, the company established a Process Technology Department, specializing in the design and fabrication of semi- and fully-automatic pasteurization systems tailored to the exacting standards of the food industry.

The hallmark of Fischer’s journey lies in its unwavering commitment to innovation and quality. Through relentless research and development efforts, today’s management has transformed Fischer into a global powerhouse, boasting state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and a far-reaching sales network.

This sustained commitment to excellence has elevated Fischer’s products to the zenith of the international market. The company takes pride in its technological advancements, commercial acumen, and environmental consciousness—all of which converge to ensure that Fischer remains synonymous with quality, precision, and reliability in the ever-evolving landscape of industrial machinery.

Today, Fischer Heat Exchanger continues to provide high-quality products, exceptional customer service, and innovative solutions to its customers worldwide, thereby consolidating its reputation as a trusted provider in the field of heat exchangers.
