Hexagon-EAM-specialist Spectades B.V. joins ROBUR
Enterprise Asset Management specialist Spectades B.V. (Brielle, The Netherlands) becomes part of ROBUR. The group is thus further expanding its leading EAM market position and further rounds out the portfolio for everything to do with digital and industrial transformation in industrial services for the leading industrial and energy companies in Europe.
“We are one of the most established teams in the entire EAM market in Europe and without a doubt the company with the most experience and with the most successful implementations of HxGN EAM” explains Jan Doorduin, one of the managing directors and owners of Spectades B.V. “We operate in Europe in a market that is growing together more and more, so that in recent years we have also been able to get to know RODIAS and their broad Enterprise Asset Management expertise as a valued coopetition partner. This gave rise to the idea of intensified cooperation in a group of companies.” continues Mark Jansen, Co-Managing Director for Account Management and Sales of Spectades.

“The Spectades management team has built up an excellent market position and reputation and is therefore a crucial building block for us to make our strategy of a European EAM provider come true,” says Dennis Mausberg, Senior Partner of ROBUR and CEO of the Business Unit Industrial Transformation. “We are looking forward to having Spectades, the HxGN EAM expert in Europe, in the group and to further expanding our teams on this platform together,” adds André Panné from the sister company RODIAS which is already part of ROBUR.
Based on the many years of experience of the company founders (Jan Doorduin, Ron Wagner, Anil Laldjie, Mark Jansen), Spectades has set a benchmark in terms of quality and efficiency in the European EAM consulting landscape. Their in-depth knowledge and expertise, paired with an excellent approach to integrating near and off-shore experts, makes them an example of contemporary, decentralized IT integration services.
“We want to support the industry in the challenges of transformation with our know-how, our experience, and our range of services. Be it about classic industrial services, or especially with the modernization, digitization, and automation of our customers’ systems,” explains Jan-Jörg Müller-Seiler, Managing Partner and CEO of ROBUR. “With Spectades and the experienced management team, we have found the perfect addition to our portfolio and are delighted that Jan and his team have become part of ROBUR and will thus further strengthen the Industrial Transformation business unit. We are already doing more than 1/3 of our turnover in ROBUR by supporting our customers’ digital and industrial transformation and we want to and will continue to grow,” adds Müller-Seiler.
“As an industrial service specialist, ROBUR is constantly striving to expand the group of specialists to include such experts who supplement our portfolio with additional services. With Jan and Mark, we quickly realized that we share a common set of values and the idea of cooperation. We have accordingly consistently then laid the foundations for a common future in ROBUR.” Florian Kopp, co-founder and managing partner of ROBUR, explains this step towards further expansion of the group.
“We still have a lot planned as ROBUR. With the Spectades team, we have laid another building block for the successful international growth of the group and are thus living up to our claim as a leading full-service provider for ecological and industrial change – welcome to the team!” explains Jan-Jörg Müller-Seiler.
JASCHEK MT strengthens ROBUR's Relocation and Installation expertise.
The relocation and installation specialist JASCHEK MT (Munich, Regensburg, Bamberg) becomes part of ROBUR and thus strengthens the group’s portfolio in this area around the existing ROBUR partners TEC (Dormagen) and WIR (Eltmann).
“As JASCHEK MT, we can look back on more than 40 years of experience in the smooth execution of complex industrial assemblies,” explains Tommy Füllner, Managing Director and owner of JASCHEK MT “During this time, colleagues from ROBUR kept running into us and after initially appreciative competition, we realized over time that we complement each other excellently in our product portfolio and in our customer segments,” continues Tommy Füllner out.
“Tommy and his team have a lot of experience and together we want to further expand our market position in the automotive sector,” says Dennis Mausberg, Senior Partner at ROBUR and CEO of the Industrial Transformation business unit. “Here we can optimally interlock our service portfolio with one another, supplemented by offers in the field of steel construction and an expanded vehicle fleet. This is how we offer our customers a holistic offer and generate considerable added value for them,” adds Dennis Mausberg.

With its extensive machine park and locations in Munich, Regensburg and Bamberg, JASCHEK MT can provide further hubs for ROBUR on the one hand and can also fall back on the many locations of the group in Germany and Europe.
“We want to support the industry in the challenges of transformation with our know-how, our experience, and our range of services. Be it modernization, digitization, automation or relocation or installation of our customers’ systems,” explains Jan-Jörg Müller-Seiler, Managing Partner and CEO of ROBUR. “With JASCHEK MT and Tommy we have found the perfect addition to our portfolio, and we are pleased that he and his team have become part of ROBUR and that they would also like to take on an active role in Dennis’ Industrial Transformation business unit,” adds Müller-Seiler.
“ROBUR is an industrial service specialist and as such we strive to constantly expand our group of specialists and to supplement our portfolio of services. The exchange with Tommy was friendly, cordial and based on partnership right from the start and it was therefore quickly clear that the team at JASCHEK MT will be an enrichment for the whole group”, Florian Kopp, co-founder and Managing Partner of ROBUR, explains this step towards further expansion of the group.
“We still have a lot planned as ROBUR. With Tommy and his team, we have laid another building block for the successful growth of the group and are thus living up to our claim as a leading full-service provider for ecological and industrial change – welcome to the team!” concludes Jan-Jörg Müller-Seiler.
FRANKE Industrieofen Service joins ROBUR and will expand its business under the new brand FIOS
FRANKE Industrieofen Service – the leading furnace inspection company – has joined ROBUR – the Munich based industry service specialist – and will offer its furnace inspection and monitoring services from now on under its new branding “FIOS”.
“For more than 20 years FRANKE Industrieofen Service has been the partner of choice when best in class furnace inspection and monitoring services are needed” states Dr. Norbert Pfitzner, founder, and CEO of FRANKE Industrieofen Service. “Operating in the glass and aluminum industry we are already very well known in Germany and the central European region – but together with ROBUR we want to expand our reach and offer our services to even more clients – together with the many ROBUR partners and especially with our long-time friends at EXCELSIUS”.

Big Hitter – ROBUR CEO Jan-Jörg Müller-Seiler

It’s hard to image that a company which sprang up from an idea in 2015 could, a mere six years later, become one of the world’s biggest industrial services providers globally, but German company ROBUR has done just that.
The company was seeded from a desire to redefine high-quality industrial services in a changing market environment. ROBUR has developed a finance and leadership model that is founded in partnership and entrepreneurialism. With almost 3,000 employees across 26 member companies, the company extends across wind, water, energy, industrial, and process industries. ROBUR partners with customers such as Siemens and GE, creating holistic solutions from planning through to implementation in the areas of installation, maintenance, relocation, and decommissioning.
Today, CEO Jan-Jörg Müller-Seiler talks from his Munich office with all the confident dynamism of someone who has been leading this company for decades, rather than the modest four years he’s been at the helm of ROBUR.
“The company was founded by three entrepreneurs – I started as a fourth founder in 2017. We wanted to create an industrial service company based in Germany but then expand internationally, delivering the kind of European service standard that’s demanded by our international customers,” he explains.
And expand the company has. Since purchasing its first three companies in 2017, ROBUR is now 26 companies-strong with a turnover of approximately 300 million euros, operating across energy, wind, industrial, process, and water verticals. ROBUR’s companies are geographically spread from Spain to Latin America, the US to Egypt, Turkey, and South Africa.
Jan-Jörg took up the CEO role in 2019. Born in Spain, his international career includes a 15-year stint with LURGI an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) in the Germany and UK before Jan-Jörg became executive VP of Intertek PLC, a UK-listed third biggest international quality assurance provider in the tech sector. Four years ago, ROBUR’s founder and then-CEO and chairman Daniel Beringer came knocking. Jan-Jörg says:
“Daniel wanted to give small to medium enterprises the possibility to grow further, so we created this industrial service idea. We started to acquire small to medium enterprises to form a bigger enterprise. And we have done that quite successfully.”
ROBUR is now divided into three divisions, Energy, Process, and Digital. They are managed by business units that sit beneath these teams. It’s a model where small businesses, companies, and divisions work together to create a single, unified, industrial services offering, and is a key point of difference for the ROBUR model. Partnerships are at its heart. “What differentiates us from our competitors is partnership thinking,” Jan-Jörg explains. “A lot of companies claim that they have the same philosophy but having worked for different companies, I have seen where working as a partnership is great when everything is working well, but when you hit a crisis, you suddenly realise what your partnership isn’t.”
Certainly, the last two years have been a crisis, so how has the partnership model performed over this time? “COVID has done a lot of challenging things, disrupted a lot of things. But one thing that it hasn’t done is take our partnerships away. On the contrary, it has brought us together much stronger. We realised that as a partner-driven group we can be more successful together than continuing by ourselves.”
Jan-Jörg is clearly proud of this, so too how ROBUR has navigated the pandemic: “We have sailed through better than average because we are so diversified. The digital business has performed well during COVID, the process business, however, has not done quite so well. A lot of projects were delayed over the last year. And the wind business has done well because we are diversified internationally.”
Jan-Jörg is quick to add that it is skills and people, rather than the machinery, that’s behind ROBUR’s buoyancy. “We have created a home for specialists – they did not go away during COVID. We did not release people to achieve a certain cost-cutting ratio, because we all agreed that the pandemic would be over one day and that we would eventually need good people and good specialists to continue our mission.”
As businesses emerge from the crisis, companies which retained their staff and culture seem to have generally fared better than those who used staff livelihoods to balance their COVID-ravaged books. While ROBUR did everything to protect its staff, it wasn’t necessarily easy. “It was a big challenge, I really had to manoeuvre between costs and keeping people,” Jan-Jörg says.
“We took the opportunity to increase the quality of our people. We knew that when the pandemic was over, we would be able to serve our customers with the best quality of products and services and honestly, I didn’t want to give our competitors the opportunity to get the good people that we have trained.”
It is not surprising that ROBUR protected the livelihoods of its staff through the pandemic, as the company positions its skilled specialists as a key differentiator in the delivery of products and services. “We always have to be ahead of our competition with our quality delivery and this doesn’t always come naturally. You need to get the right people who understand, for example, how to repair a wind blade, how to engineer a pipe, how to work with robotics.”
Despite the challenges of late, Jan-Jörg is energised about ROBUR’s future: “In the next three years we would like to double or triple our revenue.” He sees this revenue coming from continued global expansion into new regional markets, including further expansion into the US and Latin America. “Expanding further in Europe too,” Jan-Jörg adds, “there’s still a lot of room in Europe.” The CEO considers the question a moment longer, “and even though we are big enough in Germany, if we found a small or specialist operator in the country with a good service portfolio that fits our philosophy, I would expand acquisition organically in Germany too. We are also looking into northern Europe, at Sweden and Denmark. Scandinavia, watch this space.

Munich Hotel Partners Operate hotel and aquire brand MOOONS in Vienna
Munich Hotel Partners GmbH (MHP), will open its second hotel in Vienna in the fourth quarter of 2021. For this purpose, MHP concluded a lease agreement for the operation of Hotel MOOONS in a prime location at Vienna’s main train station with direct connections to the city center and the airport. The contractual partner is Real I.S. AG, a member of BayernLB and the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, which acquired the hotel property on behalf of a German pension fund.
As part of the overall transaction, MHP also acquired the MOOONS brand, which stands for “smart luxury” boutique hotels with striking design, urban lifestyle and internationality. The hotel, originally designed by the Bridge Group and Viennese architects Moser Architects, is thus the first hotel to be opened by MHP under its own MOOONS brand.
It offers 170 rooms in a high-quality design, a restaurant with 156 seats indoors and outdoors, and a spectacular rooftop bar with 60 seats and a view over downtown Vienna. The initially planned opening date last year had to be postponed due to the COVID- 19 pandemic. MHP already operates Le Méridien Vienna in the Austrian capital.
“MOOONS Vienna not only aims to inspire discerning business and leisure travelers, but is also set to become an urban hotspot,” said MHP Managing Director Michael Wagner. “We are certain that the MOOONS concept will enrich Vienna’s hotel and gastronomy scene.”
“The acquisition of the premium and boutique brand MOOONS provides MHP with additional growth options with its own hotel brand,” added MHP Managing Director Dr. Jörg Frehse. “This is another important step in our expansion strategy, which we intend to implement as a soon-to-be listed company.”
As reported, MHP is securing future growth on the capital side through the planned stock market listing. To this end, it is planned to contribute all shares in MHP GmbH to Lifespot Capital AG, Munich, which is already listed on the Munich open market. The necessary process steps are proceeding according to plan and should be completed by the end of this year.
Only a few days ago, MHP announced that it had acquired the former Swissotel Basel together with the US private equity company H.I.G Capital and concluded a long-term management contract for the hotel operation. Following extensive modernization, the hotel will reopen in the first half of 2022 as the “Marriott Hotel Basel”. In addition, the “Hotel Luc” on Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt, which is also operated by MHP, is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2021 as a member of the Marriott Autograph Collection following a fundamental modernization.
MHP was advised on the transaction in Vienna by the law firms Wiedenbauer Mutz Winkler & Partner Rechtsanwälte GmbH, Vienna, Jung & Schleicher Rechtsanwälte, Berlin, and NWT Wirtschaftsprüfung & Steuerberatung GmbH.
About MHP
The MHP Group is one of the leading German hotel providers and has established itself in acquiring existing premium hotels. MHP currently operates four Le Méridien brand hotels in Germany and Austria in Hamburg, Stuttgart, Munich and Vienna, as well as the Sheraton Düsseldorf Airport Hotel. All hotels are operated under franchise agreements with Marriott, the world’s largest hotel group.
MHP co-invests in the future Marriott Hotel Basel
Even before its planned stock exchange listing, Munich Hotel Partners GmbH (MHP), one of Germany’s leading hotel groups, has realized an important growth step. Together with the US private equity company H.I.G Capital, MHP acquired a hotel property in Basel and concluded a long-term management contract for the hotel operation as part of the joint venture. The former Swissôtel Basel will become the “Marriott Hotel Basel” in the future.
By acquiring a minority stake in the property, MHP is entering its first co-investment in the hotel real estate market. The company is thus expanding its business model. Initially, MHP focused on managing hotels owned by well-known institutional investors and acts as a franchise partner of Marriott International, the world’s largest hotel company. The rebranding to the premium Marriott Hotels brand will follow extensive renovations in the coming months.
In a prime location in Basel between the Badischer Bahnhof train station and the historic Old Town, the hotel opened in 1984 and has 238 rooms. The former hotel has been closed since November 2020. The parties agreed not to disclose the financial details of the acquisition.
“We consider the future Marriott Hotel Basel to be a jewel. Together with H.I.G, we will invest several million Swiss francs in the modernization of the hotel as part of the brand change to reposition it on the local and international hotel market under a franchise agreement with Marriott International,” commented MHP managing director Dr. Jörg Frehse.
“Despite the challenges posed by Corona, our hotel group is in an excellent operational and financial position to expand, especially in the premium segment,” adds MHP Managing Director Ralf Selke. “In addition to continuing our previous growth in partnership with institutional hotel investors, we also want to become more involved in the hotel real estate market through co-investments in the future.”
The transaction is part of MHP’s defined expansion strategy, which is supported and secured on the capital side by the company’s planned stock market listing. As announced on June 9, 2021, it is planned to contribute all shares in MHP GmbH to Lifespot Capital AG, Munich, which is already listed on the Munich Open Market. According to the plans, this reverse IPO is to be completed by the end of this year.
MHP was advised on the acquisition of the Basler Hotel by the law firms GSK Stockmann, Munich and Luxembourg, and Sailler von Dall’Armi Pöschl & Partner Wirtschaftsprüfer Steuerberater Rechtsanwälte, Munich and Zurich, in partnership with the law firm HütteLAW Advokatur und Notariat, Zug.
