What KrasoTech does

KrasoTech GmbH is a German mechanical engineering company that designs, manufactures, and sells specialized equipment for trenchless pipe rehabilitation. Founded in 1994 by Bernd-Jan Krasowski and reorganized as KrasoTech GmbH in 2016, the company is headquartered in Laußnitz, near Dresden, and operates from 3.8 hectares of proprietary land with over 5,600 m² of covered production halls. Its product portfolio covers the full workflow of trenchless pipe renovation: KrasoMix® mixing systems for multi-component resins, KrasoWalk® impregnation units (manual, electrical, and electro-pneumatic variants), the patented KrasoSluice® two-chamber inversion system, KrasoSan® custom vehicle and trailer integrations, KrasoTool® accessories including telemetry and data loggers, and consumable KrasoDur® resin systems and KrasoLiner® inliner systems. The company's technology differentiation rests on proprietary patents held by the founder, full system compatibility across product lines, and centralized PC-based monitoring and documentation software that supports customer tender submissions.

The company operates a direct-to-manufacturer sales model, selling equipment and consumables directly from its German facility with no resellers or marketplace channels. Revenue is generated through three primary streams: standard equipment sales (mixing units, impregnation units, inversion systems), high-value custom KrasoSan® vehicle and trailer build-outs, and recurring consumables (resins, liners, calibration hoses). Customers include municipalities and utility companies, pipe renovation contractors, and custom system integrators. Distribution beyond Germany is supported by a worldwide partner network. The company holds DIBt approval for its drinking water resin systems, enabling entry into the regulated municipal drinking water pipe rehabilitation segment. No external institutional investment, acquisitions, or funding events are disclosed.
