GEA Niro Spray Drying Plant
GEA Niro is a world leader in industrial drying and supply process units and complete process lines for powder production to the food, dairy, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
The company was founded as Niro Atomizer A/S in 1933 by Johan Ernst Nyrop and quickly became a world leader in industrial drying, with spray drying, freeze drying, and fluid bed processing as core technologies.
In the 1990’s Niro dropped "Atomizer" from the company name and in 1993, and the Niro Group was acquired by the German GEA Group and began to co-operate closely with other GEA companies specializing in process technology and engineering. In July 2008 Niro A/S changed its name to GEA Niro.
The company is located in Soeborg, Copenhagen. Having installed more than 10,000 plants around the globe, GEA Niro is known for delivering solutions that meet customers’ exact requirements.

Some of these products are manufactured in a single plant, others in a fully engineered process line designed and installed by GEA Niro in collaboration with leading suppliers of auxiliary equipment.
The company is the head quarter of GEA Process Engineering and has subsidiaries and representatives in more than 50 countries. In Soeborg, about 450 employees are engaged in the design, engineering, and sales of processing plants.
