APE Engineering becomes part of ROBUR - Strengthening the Group's automation and digital expertise

“Thanks to its many years of expertise in automation, APE Engineering GmbH is an ideal addition to our existing company portfolio,” says Jan-Jörg Müller-Seiler, CEO of ROBUR. “In particular, the innovative strength in the area of IND4.0 and digitalization holds exciting potential that we will expand together with the ROBUR partner companies.”

“With the APE business units Engineering, Technical IT, Technical Documentation and Translation, we are in a position to meet our customers’ requirements in an even more targeted and comprehensive manner. With a further 100 highly qualified colleagues, we can consolidate our market position in the long term. We are delighted to welcome the APE colleagues to the ROBUR family,” adds Florian Kopp, Managing Partner of ROBUR.

APE Engineering Managing Directors Norbert Reuter and Thomas Hinninger are proud of this development and look forward to working with the new partners.

“Our work has always been characterized by our intuition for our customers, flexibility, a head start in knowledge and an extensive range of personal consulting services. In addition to the challenge of defining a sustainable automation solution together with the customer, topics such as IT security, risk assessment, machine safety, project management and research funding are not neglected. With a strong partner like ROBUR, we can take this to a new level,” says Thomas Hinninger.

“We are convinced that together we will be able to open up new markets in Germany and worldwide. Both our customers and APE Engineering will benefit from ROBUR’s large network. We are very much looking forward to the joint projects as part of a large, powerful group,” adds Norbert Reuter.

Founded in 1997, the company with around 100 colleagues will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROBUR Industry Service Group GmbH in Munich as the independent APE Engineering GmbH. The two managing directors will continue to manage the company in Niedernberg near Aschaffenburg and represent APE Engineering as a partner within ROBUR.
