About us · The Lechler Group
Lechler Process Technology B.V. in Brielle is part of the Lechler Group, a family-owned spray technology company from Metzingen, Germany. This page explains how the group is organised and where our scrubbers fit in.
Lechler was founded in 1879 and is still owned by the Lechler family and the Lechler Foundation. The parent company, Lechler GmbH, has its headquarters in Metzingen. Its subsidiaries outside Germany are combined under Lechler International GmbH. The group works in four market segments: General Industry, Agriculture, Metallurgy and Process Technology. Wet gas scrubbers belong to Process Technology, and Brielle is where they are engineered and built.
01 A family company since 1879
Paul Lechler started the company in 1879 as a trading house for technical products. In 1893 it acquired a patent for nozzles that atomise liquids, and spray technology has been the core of the business ever since. Production moved to Metzingen, south of Stuttgart, in 1967; sales and administration followed in 1995. Metzingen is still the headquarters.
The shareholders of Lechler GmbH are the Lechler Foundation and the Lechler family. There are no outside investors. Today the group makes around ten million nozzles a year from a range of some 45,000 products.
02 How the group is organised
03 Four market segments
Lechler groups its work into four segments. The first three are about nozzles and nozzle systems; the fourth is about complete process equipment for cleaning and conditioning gas.
General Industry
Precision nozzles and nozzle systems for a wide range of industrial processes.
Agriculture
Nozzles and accessories for crop protection sprayers.
Metallurgy
Nozzles for steel and metal production, such as descaling and roll cooling.
Process Technology
Gas cooling, denitrification, desulphurisation, droplet separators and wet gas scrubbers.
04 Where Brielle fits in
Lechler Process Technology B.V. is the group company for wet gas scrubbers and process analysers. A team of thirteen people in Brielle, the Netherlands, engineers and builds custom scrubber systems, drawing on more than thirty years of experience. The company was established in 2026 as a new and independent company within the Lechler Group; the background is in A New Chapter, the Same Commitment.
The link with the rest of the group is a practical one. In an open spray scrubber the nozzles do the work: they create the droplets that take the pollutant out of the gas. The company that designs the scrubber and the company that develops the nozzles now belong to the same group.

It supports health care, youth welfare, care for the elderly, education and assistance for people with disabilities.
