The Significance of the Brand NOVOKERAM

For over 40 years NOVOKERAM, the brand for drying technology, has been known for innovative solutions in all aspects of drying. This applies in particular to the field of ceramic building materials, such as bricks and roof tiles of any shape or size. Proximity to customers and service orientation have always been in the focus of NOVOKERAM’s philosophy.

The brand NOVOKERAM has long been connected with influential developments in the drying technology – irrespective of whether this refers to the fast dryers LAMINARIS and LAMINARIS XL or the low energy drying process achieved with the CHORITHERM system – the ideas and patents as presented by the company owner Max Wagner and his son Christian Wagner have always been important milestones for the drying technique in the ceramic industry.

After the insolvency of NOVOKERAM Max Wagner GmbH LINGL has incorporated the rights to the brand NOVOKERAM and other trade mark rights. In particular the principles connected with the low energy drying process CHORITHERM are of great strategic significance as this technology enables further reductions in energy consumption in brickworks – an essential aspect for sustainability in the structural ceramics industry.

Moreover, NOVOKERAM is also a well-known brand in the field of technical ceramics, especially with regard to the production of sanitary ware, but also  industrial catalysers and other specialised ceramics.

LINGL and Christian Wagner have formed a close consultancy co-operation. In this way, Christian Wagner’s participation as a competent dialogue partner and creative force in the ceramic industry will be retained. With LINGL, the world-wide operating manufacturer of plants, the ideal platform was found for the further development of NOVOKERAM as the brand for drying technology.
