Sekisui SPR completes restructuring in Europe

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.

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.

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.
