Founded in 1973, REMBE now employs some 170 people (140 in Brilon and 30 in its subsidiaries) from over 20 countries and generates sales of over € 30 million in more than 70 countries. Until now, the company had 3 divisions: Explosion Safety, Pressure Relief and Industrial Measurement. In addition, REMBE founded two subsidiaries – Kersting GmbH Sampling + Grounding in 1998 and REMBE Fibre Force GmbH, a specialist in fibre-optic sensors in 2006.
In 2015, REMBE GmbH Safety + Control underwent significant restructuring and a new company emerged: REMBE Kersting GmbH.
Restructuring of REMBE GmbH Safety + Control
REMBE employees work in small, flexible and highly specialised teams in order to respond more rapidly and effectively to the demands of the market and the specific requirements of their customers. The company set up the following teams for every business unit: Global Sales, Technical Sales and Inside Sales.
The Global Sales team consists primarily of safety engineers with many years of experience in designing safety concepts in a wide range of industries. The Technical Sales team is composed of staff with special expertise in products and product development as well as technical documentation.
“We have made many changes over recent years. After founding eight world-wide subsidiaries, restructuring our sales department was the next logical step towards realising our unique selling proposition: Consulting. Engineering. Products. Service.” says Stefan Penno, son of the company’s founder Bernhard Penno and Managing Director of REMBE GmbH Safety + Control since 2004.
The company believes that these four words sum up the difference between REMBE and other companies operating in the same markets. REMBE not only supplies products but also offers all the services, which plant operators require in the areas of explosion protection and pressure relief – from safety scans of existing plants and consulting services for planning new facilities to customised product development, start-up services and maintenance.
The birth of a new company – REMBE Kersting GmbH
Over the decades, REMBE’s Industrial Measurement division and Kersting GmbH Sampling + Grounding have independently established strong reputations as experts in the bulk materials industry. Their achievements were the inspiration behind the decision to merge the two entities into REMBE Kersting GmbH. The new company combines all REMBE’s specialist knowledge in bulk materials and supplies everything its global customers require for measurement, weighing, sampling and grounding. With a strong focus on productivity, it equips bulk material companies in a wide range of sectors with measurement technology, samplers and electrostatic grounding systems. At REMBE Kersting, too, consulting, engineering and service complement the familiar product range of mass flow measurement, fill level control, sampler and ground monitoring technologies. “From measuring and weighing to sampling, our primary aim is always to make our customers’ processes more efficient and productive. This requires more than high quality products. We also support our customers in planning, assembly, start-up and calibration,” explains Jochen Eberheim, Managing Director of REMBE Kersting GmbH. Dipl.-Ing. Jochen Eberheim is one of Germany’s most experienced managers in the area of bulk materials and bulk material handling.
