About us
Fagus-GreCon Greten GmbH & Co. KG:
A family business with a global presence and cultural heritage
Fagus-GreCon Greten GmbH & Co. KG is an owner-managed family business headquartered in Alfeld/Hanover, Germany. With its GreCon product brand, the company is among the world’s leading providers of preventive fire protection solutions as well as highly precise measuring technology and inspection systems for a wide range of industries, including solids and recycling.
Preventive fire protection: As an innovation and market leader in industrial fire protection, GreCon has been setting benchmarks for over 50 years. Our spark detection and extinguishing systems eliminate ignition sources within milliseconds—before fires or explosions can occur—while minimizing any impact on production. GreCon systems protect machines and facilities across the entire production process, from shredders and conveyors to filters and storage areas.
Measuring technology & inspection systems: In quality and process control, GreCon offers innovative solutions to improve material efficiency, product quality, and sustainability. Our measurement technologies capture parameters such as thickness, density, surface quality, and material moisture in real time—enabling data-driven decisions for maximum process reliability and cost-effectiveness.
A global service network supports our customers with tailored consulting, professional installation, and ongoing service.
The company’s headquarters, the Fagus Factory designed by Walter Gropius in 1911, is considered one of the earliest examples of modern architecture and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011.

GreCon PROTECTOR
For over 50 years, we have been developing tailor-made industrial fire protection concepts for every individual challenge in industrial fire protection – reliable, practical and precisely tailored to your processes. With GreCon PROTECTOR, we are now consistently continuing this approach: as an intelligent, next-generation industrial fire protection concept. To achieve this, our protection concept combines the best components for detection (SCOUTS), processing (MISSION CONTROL and RANGER) and response (HUNTER) in a single system solution. Together, they form an intelligent protection system that not only secures against hazards, but also thinks for itself. The result is a modular, intelligent and decentralised networked industrial fire protection system that can be flexibly adapted to highly specialised industrial processes.
GreCon PARTICLEVIEW 3D
Test your material properties for greater process safety. Bring your own material sample and have it measured directly at the trade fair using the GreCon PARTICLEVIEW 3D. Within minutes, you will receive measurement results for particle properties (length, width, thickness, area, volume) – a basis for evaluating, for example, the impact on sieving, processing, and quality together with us. This allows us to quickly identify where targeted process optimizations can be implemented.
GreCon MOISTURECONTROL
Moisture affects the quality, energy consumption, and yield of materials and end products. MOISTURECONTROL measures inline, automatically, and precisely – for stable processes in the bulk materials industry.
GreCon Fire prevention - Maximum protection with minimum disruption
Fire and machinery protection of production equipment ensures an uninterrupted production and can help avoid damage to property and persons. GreCon fire prevention systems offer this protection. The modular systems with their manifold configuration possibilities can be adapted to a wide range of different industries and requirements. Higher-ranking, statistical information systems assist the fire prevention even further by analysing the events and adaption of process parameters.
The DLD 1/9 is a highly sensitive spark, ember and hot particle detector for protection against fire and explosion in industrial processes. Intelligent Detection Technology IDT® provides optimal detection performance for all ignition sources.
SPARK DETECTOR GRECON DLD 1/9 & 1/9 AS The DLD 1/9 spark detector offers optimal detection performance for all ignition sources in any environment thanks to Intelligent Detection Technology (IDT®). Two versions are available depending on the application conditions: • The classic DLD 1/9 is ideal for areas without ambient light. • The DLD 1/9 AS is recommended for applications exposed to ambient light. Both versions are highly sensitive spark detectors with numerous advantages. They reliably distinguish between dangerous sparks and harmless ambient light, pre venting false alarms and enabling the detection of hot, non-glowing particles in high-temperature processes. Additionally, the sensitivity is adjustable, allowing pre cise adaptation to individual risk levels. The DLD 1/9 can be used in pneumatic conveyor pipelines (including near inspection hatches), drop chutes, and mechanical conveyors. It connects to any GreCon spark detection control panel with a touchscreen display via a simple three-core cable. All GreCon control panels continuously monitor this connection for faults and auto matically check the detector’s functionality at programmable intervals
