A globally active engineering company specializing in tailor-made process solutions for the oleochemical industry — since 1982.
AT Agrar-Technik Int. GmbH is a globally active engineering company specializing in tailor-made process solutions for the oleochemical industry. Since 1982, we have been developing, designing, and delivering advanced technologies — from concept to full EPC execution.
With an integrated team of experienced engineers covering all major disciplines, we manage industrial projects of varying scale and complexity — efficiently, reliably, and on time.
We work closely with our clients to understand their technical, economic, and regulatory requirements. Based on decades of hands-on engineering experience, we transform these requirements into technically sound and economically viable solutions — delivered on time and within budget.
From agricultural machinery to pioneering biodiesel and glycerol technologies — AT's journey has been one of continuous evolution and technological leadership.
AT was founded in 1982 by Hans-Joachim Gaede, initially manufacturing agricultural machinery and seed processing facilities.
With the emergence of biofuels in the early 1990s, the company strategically evolved toward process engineering for biodiesel production.
A major milestone was reached with the successful commissioning of the first AT biodiesel plant in Austria — marking the beginning of our long-standing expertise in oil and fat conversion technologies.
The establishment of AT AGRAR TECHNIK (SEA Sdn. Bhd.) in Kuala Lumpur underlined our commitment to global markets.
With more than 30 plants successfully planned and delivered worldwide, AT is recognized as an internationally operating engineering partner in the oleochemical sector.
AT has actively contributed to the development of technical standards and quality frameworks within the biodiesel sector.
Our engineers have participated in committees such as the DIN EN 14214 standardization committee and AGQM (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Qualitätsmanagement e.V.).
Managing Partner Moritz Gaede has served as Board Member of the German Biodiesel Association (VDB) and as President of the European Biodiesel Board in Brussels.
Our team combines deep chemical and process engineering expertise with decades of industrial experience — ensuring innovative, sustainable, and practical solutions.
Active participation in the standardization committee shaping European biodiesel specifications.
Engaged member of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Qualitätsmanagement Biodiesel e.V.
Active engagement in the German Biodiesel Association (VDB), the Association of Medium-Sized Waste-Based Fuels Producers (MVaK), the European Biodiesel Board (EBB), and the European Waste and Advanced Biofuels Association (EWABA) in Brussels — contributing to the advancement of industry standards and sustainable biofuel policy.
Deep chemical and process engineering expertise combined with decades of hands-on industrial experience.
Moritz Gaede is CEO and Partner of AT Agrar-Technik Int. GmbH. A graduate engineer (Dipl.-Ing.), he began his career in international finance with multinational corporations before transitioning into process engineering. Since 1996, he has focused on the engineering and construction of turnkey oleochemical plants, playing a central role in establishing AT as a globally recognized technology provider.
Beyond AT, Moritz founded and led Campa AG and has been a driving force in shaping the biodiesel industry at both national and European level, as co-founder of the EBB and the VDB and long-standing President and Board member of the respective associations.
Michael Sirch holds a degree in Food Chemistry and Environmental Analytics from a university of applied sciences. He first collaborated with Moritz Gaede at Campa AG in 2006, where together they pioneered the conversion of biodiesel production to exclusively waste-based feedstocks — a landmark step in the development of more sustainable biofuel processes.
He joined AT Agrar-Technik Int. GmbH shortly thereafter, becoming a co-partner in 2014. As CTO, Michael leads process development, technology strategy, laboratory operations, and R&D. He is an active member of AGQM (Association for Quality Management Biodiesel e.V.) and a sought-after speaker on the practical implementation of biodiesel production processes and analytical methods.
