PM Piping

What PM Piping does

PM Group, legally Project Materials GmbH and doing business as PM Piping, is a privately held German enterprise B2B supplier of project materials and equipment headquartered in Düsseldorf at Schiessstraße 68, 40549. Founded more than 20 years ago, the company operates in more than 40 countries across five continents with 40 global offices and is controlled by three managing directors: Philip Myburgh, Harald Stübben, and Mario Voigtländer. It is organized under German law as a GmbH with no disclosed external private equity, venture capital, or institutional investors, and operates a regional entity, Project Materials Southern Africa Pty Ltd.

The company serves Owners, EPC contractors, and project developers across six verticals — Mining, Water, Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Power Generation, and Renewable Energy — through five product groups: Piping and Valves (line pipe, CLAD/lined pipe, gas storage, power generation piping, process piping, industrial valves), Structurals (offshore structures and renewable energy foundations such as monopiles, transition pieces, jackets, tripods), Process Equipment (process packages, rotating equipment, HVAC, static equipment, specialized packages), Mining (slurry pipelines, abrasion-resistant components, pumps, cyclones, bulk handling), and Water (piping, valves, pumping, filtration, membrane systems). Its core technology and differentiators are supply chain management, multi-modal logistics coordination, manufacturing oversight, and ISO 9001:2015-certified quality assurance (by LRQA) applied uniformly across all locations, rather than proprietary software or automation.

PM Group generates revenue on a project-by-project, quote-based enterprise sales motion through three streams: one-time supply of equipment and materials (piping, valves, fittings, structural steel, process equipment); integrated project services including engineering, procurement, PMC, quality management, inspection, and expediting; and global logistics coordination (air, ocean, overland) with packaging, preservation, tracking, and documentation. The company leverages exclusive or privileged relationships with leading pipe producers across Europe, the Americas, Japan, Korea and China, and with steel manufacturers, fabricators, shipping lines, and assembly yards specifically for offshore wind, and uses direct enterprise field sales rather than intermediaries.
