ROBUR further expands Industrial Transformation Business Unit with KAT

ROBUR, the Munich-based industrial services specialist for digital transformation and ecological change, today, June 22, 2023, announced the addition of KAT Kraus Automatisierungstechnik GmbH from Hassfurt in Lower Franconia. ROBUR is thus expanding its Industrial Transformation business unit and further establishing itself as a full service provider in the market.

The medium-sized family-owned company KAT Kraus Automatisierungstechnik has been developing and implementing automation, measurement and testing technology as well as control cabinet construction for a wide range of industrial sectors for more than 25 years. In the field of automation, KAT offers complete production plants, also with robot modules, ready-for-use and CE-certified. In measuring and testing technology, it relies on individually programmed solutions that are modular in design and easy to expand. In addition, KAT designs, plans and wires control cabinets and systems that comply with the respective country-specific standards. The company has DIN ISO 9001:2015 certification and an Alliance Partnership from National Instruments.

The second-generation family business was founded in 1996 by Dipl.-Ing. Ingbert Kraus in Hassfurt, Lower Franconia. Since 2007, Stefan Besendorf and Silvia Kraus-Besendorf have been at the company’s top and primarily attend to long-standing customers not only in the region, but also in the international market.

“The partnership with ROBUR results in synergies from which we all benefit. We as KAT can offer our customers even more services and ROBUR benefits at the same time from our many years of experience and expertise in the automation industry,” explains Stefan Besendorf, Dipl.-Ing., Managing Director of KAT Kraus Automatisierungstechnik. Silvia Kraus-Besendorf, Co-Managing Director of KAT adds: “For us it was important that ROBUR fits us not only in the line of business. The philosophy and the personal level are the nuts and bolts for us. After all, this is the only way we can work together successfully as well as continue and expand our achievements together for our colleagues and our customers.”

“ROBUR, as an industrial services specialist and full-service provider, aims to continuously add to the Group, thus offering more solutions for an increasingly complex world from a single source for our customers. This brings us another step closer to our goal of driving the ecological and digital transformation of industry,” states Jan-Jörg Müller-Seiler, CEO and Managing Partner of ROBUR.

“With KAT, ROBUR is expanding its portfolio in the automation sector. KAT also contributes in terms of expertise to our diverse lineup with almost thirty years of experience. We are delighted to welcome you to the ROBUR team!”, says Dennis Mausberg, Senior Partner and CEO of the Industrial Transformation business unit.

“Our philosophy at ROBUR is to bring specialists together to jointly develop solutions for our customers’ challenges. We offer our customers as well as partner companies the ideal basis to grow together and successfully master the current challenges – especially with regards to digital transformation and ecological change. We are excited about Stefan’s and Silvia’s decision to help shape further growth within ROBUR,” concludes Florian Kopp, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of ROBUR.
