1937
The engineering consultant Ingenieurbüro Robert von Linde starts business in Munich. Key activities are burners and combustion related technologies.

1950´s
CALORIC as supplier of engineering and hardware was established by Dr. Joachim von Linde with know-how and workforce from Ingenieurbüro Robert von Linde.

1970´s
Inert gas generators and hazardous waste incinerators quickly evolved as backbone of the delivery program. CO2 generation plants are also added.

1980´s
CALORIC adapts the syngas technologies for small scale plants. CO and hydrogen generating plants are added to the product portfolio. Hazardous waste incinerators become more complex as emmission limits become more strict.

1990´s
HyCO plants are in balance with hazardous waste incinerators. Inertgas plants as well as CO2 generation plants are shrinking in significance.

2000´s
HyCO plants become the major business line. Over the fence supply schemes by gas supplying companies lead to increasing success in their market for CALORIC.

2010’s
HyCO plants stay the major business line. Engineering packages and customized process developement are focussed as requirements of the market vary more.

Since 2020
HyCO plants continue as most important business line. Requirements for plants become more and more individual. Engineerings as first step in projects become increasingly standard procedure. The new business line of pilot and demonstration plants develops better than expected.
