In November 2018 California (CalPERS) listed Andritz as a company under review for reportedly providing hydropower equipment in Iran.  (https://www.calpers.ca.gov/docs/forms-publications/iran-sudan-divestment-2018.pdf)

Andritz’s 2015 report highlights the fact that “an Iranian customer ordered a fluidized bed dryer system with auxiliaries for a greenfield urea granulation project.” (Andritz website, “Annual Report 2015”).  The Andritz Group also lists an office for Andritz Hydro GmbH and for Andritz Separation GmbH in Tehran, Iran on its company website. (Andritz website, “Contact”). (http://www.andritz.com/gr-annual-report-2015-low-en.pdf) (http://www.andritz.com/contact?g_display=Locations)

In its 2009 and 2010 annual reports, Andritz lists a location in Tehran, Iran for Andritz Hydro. (Andritz Website, “Annual Report 2009;” Andritz Website, “Annual Report 2010”).  (http://www.andritz.com/gr-annual-report-2009.pdf) (http://www.andritz.com/gr-annual-report-2010.pdf)

According to Google Maps, Andritz has an office for Andritz Separation in Tehran, Iran.  (https://www.google.com/search?q=%22andritz%22+%22iran%22&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS872US872&oq=%22andritz%22+%22iran%22&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l4.4702j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)

"The company was reported as potentially providing hydropower equipment in Iran. In 2018 CalPERS designated the company as under review. In 2019 CalPERS changed the designation to “being monitored” because CalPERS’ initial screening has not identified the company as having involvement in the regions and/or activities targeted by the Act. CalPERS has maintained the company in “monitor” status for 2020. CalPERS continues to monitor the company for possible changes in status relevant to the Act."

In 2008, Andritz received an order from Latif Paper to rebuild a hygienic paper machine, to be completed by the end of the year. (Andritz Website, “Andritz to modernize hygienic paper machine for Latif Paper, Iran”).  (http://www.andritz.com/en/gr-news-detail?id=6495)
