Sekisui SPR completes restructuring
in Europe
After changing the names and the
branding of its eastern European
construction firms last year, Sekisui SPR
is implementing the final step in its
restructuring plan.
This has involved fusing the production,
sales and engineering divisions, as
well as the construction firms, into two
subsidiaries.
The sales and engineering departments
and the technology production
companies have been working in
cooperation for years. At the end of
2014 they were merged under Sekisui
SPR Europe GmbH as part of the
reorganisation process.
In this step, Sekisui NordiTube
Technologies SE, KMG LinerTec GmbH
and SPR TEC Europe GmbH became
part of Sekisui SPR Europe GmbH.
All the construction firms are now part
of Sekisui SPR Construction. The new
Sekisui SPR Germany GmbH was
created from KMG Pipe Technologies
GmbH and Sekisui SPR Bavaria GmbH.
All restructured companies will continue
business as before, with the same
personnel, equipment, expertise and
production locations.
As a result of the reorganisation, all
subsidiaries of the group now bear the
SPR logo. The aim of the reorganisation
process is to concentrate resources,
simplify the group’s structure and
increase efficiency.
The resulting advantages in the field of
pipe inspection and rehabilitation are
available to the rehabilitation market
along with an extensive product and
services portfolio.
Sekisui SPR in Europe is part of the
Sekisui SPR Group, headquartered in
Tokyo, Japan. Sekisui SPR combines
the trenchless pipe rehabilitation
expertise of Sekisui Chemical Co Ltd
with entities in Europe, America and
Asia Pacific.
The global team of experts covers
all services in the pipe rehabilitation
sector: cleaning and inspection,
design, installation and maintenance of
networks.
Sekisui SPR has a comprehensive
portfolio of technologies for the
rehabilitation of water, sewage and gas
networks, such as spiral-wound pipe
lining, cured-in-place-pipe and the fold-
and-form method.
