About Us

PPCHEM’s journey begins with a journal and a different name. In June 2009 the company – at that time a small, freshly founded publishing house under the name of Waesseri GmbH – took over the publication of the PowerPlant Chemistry® journal, which had already made a name for itself internationally since it’s first publication in 1999. The journal’s founder was won over and continued to function as the journal’s editor-in-chief until the end of 2014.  The company made it their mission to provide its customers with the latest in-depth knowledge about power plant chemistry. This is why in addition to publishing the journal, Waesseri GmbH started organizing seminars and conferences all over the world to provide a platform for sharing knowledge with one’s peers.
In 2019 the company underwent a major reorganization and was rebranded as PPCHEM AG. With the addition of an expert in plant chemistry, this new company was able to expand its services. Aside from the previously offered services “publishing” and “conferences”, a third segment “consulting” was added.
