2pro Automation & Engineering

What 2pro Automation & Engineering does

2PRO Automation & Engineering GmbH & Co. KG is a German industrial automation services firm headquartered in Königslutter am Elm with a second office in Dortmund. Founded in 2021 by Lena Engel (CFO) and Manuel Hauff (CEO), the company serves 85+ national and international industrial manufacturing customers with a team of 23 specialists. It operates as a GmbH & Co. KG with 2Pro Group GmbH as its managing general partner, and has obtained TISAX and ISO 27001 certifications that position it for security-sensitive and automotive-sector engagements.

The company's core technology centers on multi-platform industrial automation and robotics integration. Engineers program PLCs/SPS systems across Siemens S5, Siemens S7, TIA Portal, Beckhoff, Rockwell, and Phoenix Contact, and handle robot programming and maintenance for KUKA, YASKAWA, FANUC, and ABB industrial arms. The firm operates a proprietary Remote Diagnostics Portal that enables maintenance-contract customers to receive 24/7 expert troubleshooting without on-site travel, supported by 24/7/365 service availability and optional service-level agreements. The cybersecurity and IT services line — covering vulnerability analysis, SIEM monitoring, and managed security — extends the same operator-installation footprint into regulated security work.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue with three interconnected streams: (1) Automation & Plant Construction for custom industrial plant design, simulation, and documentation; (2) Industry & Plant Service for preventive maintenance, repair, and spare parts of industrial robots and electrical machines; and (3) Personnel/Staffing Services placing robot programmers, PLC/software developers, industrial mechanics, and electromechanics at customer sites. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, with both founding partners accessible to prospects, and marketing concentrated on the company website plus LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp Business channels. Pricing is quote-based per project and is not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Heitec AG: German mid-market automation solutions provider offering automation engineering, robotics integration, and industrial services. Direct peer in size and service mix to 2PRO's automation and plant construction business.
• Ferchau Engineering GmbH: One of Germany's largest engineering staffing and project services firms. Directly comparable to 2PRO's Personaldienstleistungen arm for robot programmers, PLC programmers, and industrial mechanics.
• KEB Automation KG: German automation drives and control systems specialist offering engineering and integration services of comparable scale. Competes with 2PRO in PLC programming and industrial automation integration.
• Hays AG: Major engineering and IT staffing firm in Germany placing contract technicians and project specialists. Directly competes with 2PRO's staffing arm and adjacent to its SPS/software programming services.
• Lenze SE: German mid-sized automation drives and systems company offering engineering and integration services. Comparable scale and customer base to 2PRO in industrial automation.

Broad incumbents

• KUKA AG: Robot manufacturer and integrator with a direct service network for KUKA robots. Competes with 2PRO's robot programming services and multi-brand maintenance franchise.
• Leadec Group: Large industrial services provider with automation, maintenance, and technical staffing across factories. Broader portfolio than 2PRO but overlapping industrial services and automation offerings for German manufacturers.
• ABB AG: Industrial automation and robot manufacturer offering its own integration and service network. Overlaps with 2PRO in robot programming and ABB robot maintenance services.
• Siemens AG (Digital Industries): Dominant industrial automation incumbent selling PLCs, SCADA, and drives via partner integrators. While much larger, Siemens shapes the ecosystem 2PRO serves and competes for large integration programs.
• Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co. KG: German industrial automation hardware vendor (PLC, I/O, controls) with related services. Larger and broader but operates in the same control-systems ecosystem where 2PRO integrates and programs.
