It describes itself as a specialist for the engineering, supply, erection and commissioning of complete plants, special units or entire plant complexes within the range of its own processes, serving the chemical industry and the explosives industry worldwide. Its know-how is based on its own research and development work, decades of experience and more than 600 successfully commissioned plants. The company's process portfolio covers several broad groups. In cellulose products it works with cellulose ethers such as CMC, MC, HEC and HPC, nitrocellulose and linters processing. In nitroaromatics it covers mononitrotoluene, dinitrotoluene, mononitrobenzene, mononitrochlorbenzene and other nitroaromatics. It also builds plants for formaldehyde and derivatives including urea-formaldehyde precondensate, hexamethylenetetramine, pentaerythritol and acetaldehyde, as well as glues and resins. Under synthetic resins it offers polycondensation, polymerization and polyaddition plants, sample taking and online analytics, and pilot plants. Its explosives portfolio includes TNT, octogen, hexogen, nitropenta, nitroglycerin and nitroglycols, nitrocellulose, explosives processing such as filling, pressing and assembly, and initiating explosives. It also supplies explosives disposal equipment. Beyond plant construction, Meissner offers a range of services: research and development, licensing, engineering, procurement and delivery, erection and commissioning, and modernisation. In 2015 the company expanded its activities into plants and technologies for synthetic resins and related products, with the formerly independent subsidiary HAENDEL ENGINEERING complementing Meissner's technology programme as the RHE product group.
