about
microinnova

At Microinnova, we are dedicated to bridging the gap between process development and modular plant engineering. Founded in 2003 by Dr. Dirk Kirschneck in Allerheiligen bei Wildon, Austria, we have evolved from a microreactor-focused company to a specialized provider of turnkey solutions for continuous manufacturing. Our boutique approach ensures tailored services – from initial process development to the final delivery of fully installed plants. We offer our clients a one-stop-shop, by first identifying issues in their processes, working out solutions, and then realizing these solutions.

Trusted partner in the sector of flow chemistry
with expertise in continuous process development and plant engineering

Central to our success is the seamless integration of chemical expertise and engineering know-how. Our team collaborates to develop and optimize processes that enhance efficiency, safety, and sustainability. With over 20 years of experience and more than 250 projects completed, we excel in handling complex materials, including viscous substances and suspensions.

Using process intensification techniques and selecting the best technology for each process, we ensure uniform conditions even in regulated environments. As an ISO 9001:2015-certified company, we design plants that meet GMP and ATEX standards for quality and safety.

Specializing in modular continuous plants, we scale processes from lab tests to tons-per-hour production, enabling rapid time-to-market and flexibility. Our passion for innovation and commitment to excellence drive us to deliver solutions that give our clients a competitive edge in continuous manufacturing.
