Munich, 06.07.2021

On 01 July 2021, Munich-based ROBUR Industry Service Group founded ROBUR ELMOBIS GmbH, thus strengthening its commitment in the field of charging infrastructure solutions.

Since its foundation in 2015, ROBUR stands for modern, high-quality industrial services and for solutions to the challenges associated with digital transformation and ecological change. The Group already generates more than 50% of its turnover with sustainable services and is continuously expanding this area.

More than 1,500 of ROBUR’s 3,000 colleagues worldwide work on projects in the renewable energy market, from planning and installation to service and maintenance. The Group’s specialists offer solutions and bundled expertise “from a single source” and are holistic partners for customers along the lifecycle of their systems.

ELMOBIS will bundle and further expand all activities and expertise related to electromobility. A powerful team of specialists with knowledge gained over 10 years and experience of approx. 25,000 installed charging stations will ensure project success for its customers and focus on the installation, maintenance and service of the charging infrastructure.

“This development is the logical continuation of the first successful projects in the charging station infrastructure and e-mobility sector in various companies of the Group. We want to grow in this area over the next few years and become one of the major players in the installation and service business”, explains Jan-Jörg Müller-Seiler, CEO and Managing Partner of ROBUR.

“We are pleased to be a part of ROBUR with the founding of ELMOBIS and to take the lead in advancing the electromobility sector in the Group. The expertise already available at ROBUR is quite impressive. This will be of great help to us in further expanding our portfolio for turnkey construction. We are fully motivated to advance the topic of electromobility forward together with out other colleagues at ROBUR”, says Olaf Becker, Managing Director of ROBUT ELMOBIS GmbH.

EWE Go and ROBUR cooperate on electromobility:

Bremen/Munich, 02.07.2021

As a service provider, ROBUR Industry Service Group is providing support to EWE Go in the maintenance and servicing of charging stations, thereby strengthening its service portfolio with innovative and sustainable e-mobility solutions.

“This development is the logical continuation of the first successful projects in the charging station infrastructure and e-mobility sector in various companies of the Group. Together, we are doing our part to enable the mobility transformation and to make it sustainable in the future with EWE Go”, explains Jan-Jörg Müller-Seiler, CEO and Managing Partner of ROBUR.

“We are proud to be actively supporting our colleagues in this project and to be able to act successfully as a Group once again”, says René Psarski, Managing Director of ROBUR WIND and ROBUR Partner.

“We are pleased to have ROBUR Industry Service Group as a new, strong and reliable partner at our side to support us in on-site services and maintenance of charging stations in the Bremen and Bremerhaven area”, says Till Horstkamp, responsible for Technical Operations at EWE Go.

ROBUR continues to grow: The project division of ALTRAD Industrial Projects Maintenance will become part of ROBUR under the name of ROBUR INDUSTRIEMONTAGEN.

Leipzig, 26.03.2021

ROBUR is taking over the project division of Leipzig-based ALTRAD Industrial Projects Maintenance GmbH with 110 colleagues as part of an assets deal and will continue to operate the division under the name ROBUR INDUSTRIEMONTAGEN. The site on Seilerweg will also remain.

The two groups, ALTRAD and ROBUR, have already been successfully cooperating on various projects for many years now. It was therefore a natural step to put the existing partnership on a new foundation when ALTRAD was reconsidering the Leipzig site as part of its strategy realignment. The acquisition of the project division in Leipzig means that ROBUR can further strengthen its portfolio with ROBUR INDUSTRIEMONTAGEN, thereby also securing the future of the site and its almost 110 colleagues.

“ROBUR is synonymous with the digitization of industrial services and is shaping the ecological transformation of industry. We are expanding our expertise in important areas such as the construction of hydrogen and LNG facilities and the associated work with our colleagues from the newly founded ROBUR INDUSTRIEMONTAGEN. This is an elementary building block for the ecological transformation, and this is why our decision for ROBUR INDUSTRIEMONTAGEN fits perfectly into the long-term strategy of ROBUR,” explains Jan-Jörg Müller-Seiler, CEO and Managing Partner of ROBUR.

The central pipeline prefabrication facility covering 21,000 m² of space is situated in the business hub of Leipzig with exemplary infrastructure and transport links in close proximity to the Autobahn and the airport. This makes it possible to manage projects cost-effectively, flexibly, with high quality and at the highest level of safety.

Automated machinery for cutting, chamfering and welding, computer-controlled pipe-forming torch-cutting machines, mandrel-bending machines and cutting machines for fittings as well as full-coverage availability of gantry cranes provide the basis for effective processing.

This modern technology, outstanding organization as well as a complete digital process means that the entire range of products and services can be presented to customers in detail and with transparency. The integrated self-developed system systematically provides all collected project-relevant data for work preparation, material management, progress documentation and quality management.

“I am delighted that ROBUR INDUSTRIEMONTAGEN has become another building block of ROBUR’s PROCESS business unit,” comments Dr Florian König, CEO of the business unit and Senior Partner of ROBUR. “In addition to possessing hydrogen expertise and experience in piping LNG drives, our colleagues also have specialist knowledge of the challenges facing the pharmaceutical industry, thereby expanding our portfolio in this area. The pharmaceutical industry in Germany and Europe is an important factor in securing the location, both in light of the current situation and over the long term, and therefore deserves our special attention as an industrial service provider,” adds König.

The previous authorized signatory David Seelig will take over the management of the new ROBUR company. This also corresponds to the philosophy of ROBUR’s partnership-based organisation. “I have got to know the partnership environment at ROBUR over the past few weeks and am now excited to be a part of ROBUR. I was able to thoroughly familiarise myself with the way the company is managed, the constructive exchange and the joint, pragmatic search for solutions over the past few months, and I feel extremely comfortable in the group,” says David Seelig, Managing Director of ROBUR INDSUTRIEMONTAGEN, describing the new setup. “We have also found a great new home for my colleagues, one in which we will be able to grow successfully as a whole group and thereby secure jobs at the site over the long term. And nothing will change for our existing customers, apart from the name – we will ensure continuity and quality in this area,” continues Seelig.

“We have been on the lookout for companies and individuals to help us shape the digital transformation of industrial services and the ecological transformation of industry since we were founded in 2015. We are continuing along this path resolutely together with the 110 colleagues of the new ROBUR INDSUTRIEMONTAGEN, and we are by no means at the end of our growth ambition. We aim to grow significantly both organically and inorganically over the next few years and to use our industrial services to make industries fit for the future, digitise them, and make the environment the focus of our activities in the best possible way. Not only does this make us economically successful during these challenging times – it also safeguards the future of our colleagues, now numbering around 3,000, as well as the future of the generations to come on this planet,” concludes Florian Kopp, founder and Managing Partner of ROBUR.

Founded in 2015, ROBUR has grown to 200m EUR in revenues in 2020 and focuses on driving digital transformation and ecological change of industries and industrial services in wind, water, energy, the process industry and industrials.

“Expanding our service offering by integrating the colleagues from EREDA into ROBUR RME and our ROBUR WIND portfolio was a natural step forward, strengthening our overall strategy and enhancing our engineering capabilities to grow faster in this vital industry sector” explains Jan-Jörg Müller-Seiler, CEO and Managing Partner of ROBUR.

EREDA (www.ereda.com) has 16 years of engineering experience in the Renewable Energy sector, offering services in Spain but also in other European countries, including Eastern Europe, as well as in Latin America and Africa.

ROBUR RME’s Managing Director Kurt Stürken is more than delighted to see EREDA join the ROBUR and be an integral part of ROBUR RME: “EREDA does not only bring a huge amount of experience and track record in the Renewables sector but is known in the industry for its dedicated engineers and ability to deliver competitive and high quality services. I am looking forward to working together with Cristobal and his team in the years to come and help our clients to generate more value out of their Renewable assets”.
