Engineering remains the backbone of the German economy. This is also the home of the SME industry, with its numerous hidden champions. This is where we find companies that enable progress with their technological expertise. Whether it’s the energy transition or the optimization of work and production processes – engineering is the foundation of successful change. Interconnecting production with cutting-edge information and communication technology creates the space for new growth models. The megatrends of digitalization and sustainability are the driving force behind these developments. The companies that currently make up the INDUS Engineering segment are supporting the manufacturing industry today with a broad range of products and services.

Growing mobility and advancing urbanization, increasing digitalization and sustainability are the megatrends providing lasting momentum to the construction industry in Germany. 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 gaining ideas from the social demand for sustainable building. Modern technologies enable intelligent infrastructures and supply networks for telecommunications and energy supplies. The companies in the INDUS Infrastructure segment exploit their stable positioning to develop their ranges and focus on these needs – in the fields of construction and building technology, telecommunications infrastructure, and air-conditioning technology.

Non-Core
As part of its strategic focus, INDUS has sharpened its segment structure and defined clear technology priorities for its portfolio. The temporary Non-Core segment pools companies that lie outside these focal points. This applies in particular to series suppliers in the Automotive Technology segment. These companies are set to develop further in a new context in the future.
