Ensuring a reliable supply to critical infrastructure sectors: Metal components and assemblies from a single source
A functioning infrastructure is essential for security, supply, and economic stability. Transportation networks, healthcare facilities, energy supply systems, and logistics chains must function reliably at all times, especially in an era of increasing demands for resilience and security of supply.
The term “critical infrastructure” refers to facilities and systems whose failure would have a significant impact on our society, economy, and public safety. Consequently, the requirements for the quality, resilience, and durability of the components used are correspondingly high.
In light of the changing security situation in Europe and growing government investment in civil protection, this area is becoming increasingly important from a strategic perspective.
With extensive experience in metalworking and surface treatment, we support companies, planners, and system providers in implementing challenging KRITIS projects in the critical infrastructure sector. From individual components to complex assemblies, we develop solutions designed for reliability, resilience, and long-term operational capability.
We protect mobility and logistics
Functional transportation networks and logistics systems cannot be taken for granted. They are the result of careful planning and high-quality materials and components that can withstand real-world conditions over the long term. Roads, railways, bridges, and logistics centers are exposed daily to enormous mechanical stresses, temperature fluctuations, and the elements.
We manufacture metal components and assemblies that are designed to meet precisely these requirements: robust, durable, and engineered for maximum corrosion resistance using our proprietary surface treatment technology.
Areas of application in the KRITIS sector of mobility and logistics
Our areas of application in the mobility and logistics sectors include, among other things, heavy-duty gratings, grating platforms, and grating steps, as well as guardrails for maintenance walkways and platforms. In addition, we manufacture enclosures for technical equipment, components for support structures, and parts for traffic and signage systems. Our products are used in applications where high mechanical stress, exposure to the elements, and long service life converge. All components are finished using our proprietary surface treatment technology and are designed for maximum corrosion resistance, thereby minimizing maintenance intervals and permanently reducing operating costs.

We protect people and public health
Hospitals, emergency centers, and primary care facilities are among the most sensitive sectors of critical infrastructure. They must remain operational even under extreme conditions and as demand increases, because a failure in these areas directly affects people. There is a steadily growing societal and political demand to make healthcare systems more resilient and flexible.
This applies to both stationary facilities and mobile and temporary deployment scenarios, which require durable, readily available components. To meet these needs, we supply robust metal structures that can be reliably used in both permanent structures and mobile supply sites, while meeting the highest standards of workmanship and durability.
Areas of application in the KRITIS sector of health, public services, and civil protection
Our areas of application in this sector include steel structures and fastening systems for hospitals and emergency care facilities, as well as protective grilles, equipment enclosures, and ventilation elements for sensitive care areas. We also manufacture transport racks for medical supplies, facade and infrastructure components for healthcare facilities, as well as structures for mobile care camps and emergency response infrastructure in the field of civil defence. All products are manufactured in accordance with the required quality standards and can be finished as requested, ensuring they continue to function reliably even in demanding environments.

We protect energy and the security of supply
A stable energy supply is the foundation of any functioning society and, at the same time, one of the most vulnerable areas of critical infrastructure. It is only when grids go down, facilities fail, or supply chains are disrupted that it becomes clear just how essential this infrastructure is to daily life, the economy, and public safety.
Wind farms, solar power plants, substations, and energy storage systems are not only technically complex; they are also subject to enormous cost pressures and must operate with minimal maintenance for decades. This makes choosing the right components and surfaces a strategic decision. We manufacture metal components for the energy sector that are designed from the outset for a long service life, high resistance to weathering, and minimal maintenance requirements.
Areas of application in the KRITIS sector of energy and networks
Our areas of application in the energy and grid sector include support structures and steel components for equipment containers and protective enclosures, grating for maintenance platforms at power plants, and substructures for photovoltaic systems. In addition, we manufacture metal cable management systems for organized and safe cable routing, as well as ventilation grilles for power plants and switchgear. Our components are consistently designed for outdoor use with corrosion-resistant surfaces, high load-bearing capacity, and long maintenance intervals, which support the long-term economic operation of energy facilities.
