Our story
Our roots go back to Switzerland, where we were founded in 1933 as L. von Roll Aktiengesellschaft, later becoming Von Roll Inova. In 2010, we joined Hitachi Zosen Corporation (as of today, Kanadevia Corporation), one of Japan’s largest industrial and engineering firms. We combine the expertise of a traditional Swiss company with the strength and global reach of an international group.
For nearly 90 years, we’ve been building and maintaining plants around the world. From project development to delivering complex turnkey solutions in thermal and biological WtX recovery, gas upgrading and power-to-gas, we apply our experience as a trusted EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contractor and technology provider. Our after-sales services ensure long-term, reliable support for plant operators. Our commitment to quality, backed by decades of experience and a straightforward approach, is what we deliver to every client.
Why the new name?
The rebranding initiative is driven by our parent company Kanadevia Corporation and represents a clear step forward in unifying our global presence. At the same time, it reinforces Kanadevia Inova’s operations and drive for innovation.
What is the meaning of Kanadevia Inova?
The name “Kanadevia” derives from the Japanese word “Kanaderu”, which means to play or perform music in harmony, and the Latin word “via”, meaning the way. So Kanadevia represents a promise where people and nature, technology and the planet go hand in hand. “Inova” signals our continuous drive for innovation and excellence in all we do.
Looking ahead
This rebrand is the beginning of a new era for us. We will continue to innovate, collaborate and grow while staying focused on what matters most—delivering on our promises to society, our clients and the environment.
We now invite you to follow and accompany our journey towards a more sustainable future. We look forward to the many milestones that lie ahead of us as Kanadevia Inova.
