Continuous Improvement

Committed to delivering value for our clients

With over 100 years of global experience, KAEFER continually learns, evolves, and innovates. Our focus is on delivering value and building sustainable, long-term relationships with clients. This success relies on our dedicated team and our commitment to challenging traditional materials and methods.

Our Lean Management program helps us capture best practices globally. Supported by our Research and Development departments, which test and report on new technologies, we deliver innovative solutions for clients worldwide.

Lean Management

Lean service and production processes, without wasting resources.

According to the principles of “Lean” management, we at KAEFER Australia optimise various factors in order to achieve the best possible results. It is our declared goal to be the most reliable and efficient provider of turnkey construction, maintenance and industrial services.

Lean management focuses on flexibility, efficiency and the constant improvement of all processes. This not only has a positive effect on our added value, but also on that of our clients. Fewer errors, a reduction in unnecessary work steps and shorter lead times ensure that project outcomes are noticeably improved.

Technology & Innovation

The KAEFER Group stands out with its in-house Corporate Innovation & Technical Excellence (CIE) Department in Bremen, Germany. This facility rigorously tests insulation and coatings under diverse simulated conditions, including cryogenic pipework in tropical environments.

In Australia, KAEFER’s local technical experts collaborate closely with our international team to exchange best practices. Our global portal ensures that best practice information is shared across all KAEFER locations.

Additionally, KAEFER Australia operates a testing facility in Naval Base, Western Australia. This facility evaluates coating applications at varying temperatures and tests insulation systems through various rigs for application and removal.
