From the energy transition to the optimization of work and production processes, engineering is the foundation of successful change. Interconnecting production with cutting-edge information and communication technologies opens the door to new growth models.

The megatrends of digitalization and sustainability are the driving forces behind these developments. 

The companies that currently make up the INDUS Engineering segment support the manufacturing industry today with a broad range of products and services. They are established names in the specialized field of machinery and equipment construction, and niche suppliers for automation and robotics, sensor technology and measuring/control engineering. 

Axel Meyer is the Board member responsible for the Engineering segment. 

Growing mobility, advancing urbanization, and the increasing emphasis on digitalization and sustainability are the key megatrends driving lasting momentum in the construction industry. Public investment in infrastructure for the maintenance and expansion of traffic routes, high capacity requirements in residential construction, and energy renovations are driving demand. 

Construction and building technology are increasingly shaped by society’s growing demand for sustainable buildings. Modern technologies enable smart infrastructures and efficient supply networks for telecommunications and energy systems.

The companies in the INDUS Infrastructure segment use their solid positioning to grow their product and service ranges, focusing on critical areas such as construction and building technology, telecommunications infrastructure, and air-conditioning technology.

Dr. Jörn Großmann is the Board member responsible for the Infrastructure segment.

In the manufacturing sector, innovative materials and new composite materials are pushing the boundaries of what is possible. When paired with state-of-the-art production processes, they enable solutions that open up new dimensions in performance and application.

The companies in the INDUS Materials Solutions segment have a high level of expertise in the field of materials. They specialize in metal production and processing, component manufacturing, medical products and aids. Growth potential lies in innovative materials such as composites, engineering plastics and textiles as well as specialized manufacturing and logistics solutions and the exploration of new attractive end markets.

Gudrun Degenhart is the is the Board member responsible for the Materials Solutions segment.
