Overview of companies

  • KS Kneissl & Senn Technologie GmbH

    KS Kneissl & Senn Technologie GmbH was founded in 2001 by Mr. Franz Senn Sr. and is wholly owned by Senn Beteiligungs GmbH. KS is the largest company in the SENN Group, both in terms of employees and turnover, and operates as a manufacturer and distributor in several product areas. Originally based in Kufstein in the old Kneissl ski factory, the company has been operating in Erl since 2013.

  • RBS Kompensator GmbH

    RBS Kompensator GmbH was founded in 2009 and is 75% owned by the SENN Group. As its name suggests, RBS is involved in the production of (fabric) expansion joints within the group, and since 2019 has also been involved in the (contract) production of metal parts and flanges.

  • Senn Immobilien GmbH

    Since 2013, Senn Immobilien GmbH has managed all of the SENN Group's land and buildings. This includes the three company buildings in Mühlgraben and Erl, as well as apartments and other properties.

  • Senn Beteiligungs GmbH

    With the move to Erl in 2013 and the purchase of the company building at Mühlgraben 43b (Hall B) under Senn Immobilien GmbH, the three holdings were also consolidated into a separate holding company, Senn Immobilien GmbH, from 2013 onwards. This laid the foundation for further external growth through company acquisitions.

  • Gasser GmbH

    Gasser – Handel mit Gießerei- und Stahlwerksbedarf Gesellschaft m.b.H. was founded in Vienna in 1925 as GASSER & CO. Since then, its sales activities have focused on crucibles and foundry supplies for steel and non-ferrous metal casting. The company has been based in Styria since 2010. Its proximity to key customers, the Mining University, and the Austrian Foundry Institute creates excellent synergies. Since December 1, 2017, Gasser has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Senn Beteiligungs GmbH. This means that the company now has locations in Austria (Styria and Tyrol) and Germany (Nuremberg).

  • Ceratec GmbH

    On January 1, 1988, Ceratec GmbH was founded in Lower Austria. From the very beginning, Ceratec focused on products for high-temperature applications. Temperatures of up to 1600°C therefore determine our daily work. Since 2020, the company has been based in Erl, Tyrol.

  • Senn Kraftwerke GmbH

    Senn Kraftwerke GmbH was founded at the end of 2021 as part of the purchase of the Trockenbach Erl power plant. Since then, all of the SENN Group's energy generation activities have been bundled within this company. In addition to hydropower, we focus primarily on photovoltaics. A total of between 1.5 and 2 million kWh of sustainable electricity can be produced.

  • Sinteca HandelsgmbH

    Sinteca HandelsgmbH was founded in Vienna in 1984 under the company name Aladin and has been involved in the distribution of plain bearings, stainless steel plant components, and sintered filters ever since. Since 2023, the distribution of technical maintenance products and mechanical seals from Chesterton has also been part of the product portfolio. Unlike the other companies, Sinteca is based in Klosterneuburg, Lower Austria. Sinteca is a 90% subsidiary of the SENN Group.

  • Senn Logistik GmbH

    Since October 2023, Senn Logistik GmbH has been supporting the group in internal and external logistics matters. In addition to full truckloads (FTL) and time-sensitive freight, we also offer less than truckload (LTL) and sprinter services for third-party customers and our own needs.

  • K. Hoffmann GmbH

    At the end of 2023, the vermiculite manufacturer K. Hoffmann GmbH in Plettenberg was added to our group. This enables us to significantly expand our expertise in the field of vermiculite materials (pressed parts, CNC-milled molded parts, and plates).

Sustainability

Your own energy

from hydropower and photovoltaics

The conversion of our fleet to electric cars means that our energy requirements are constantly increasing. To meet these requirements, we have invested in the construction and expansion of our photovoltaic systems over the last three years. From the end of 2021, we will also be able to count a hydroelectric power plant among our group. This means that nothing stands in the way of refueling electric cars with sustainably generated energy.

The diagram shows the history of the SENN Group. The company was founded in Kufstein in 2001 by Franz Senn Sr. Since then, various companies have joined the group over the years. The highlight of 2023 will be the move to the new warehouse and production hall in Erl, Mühlgraben 43e. This will create space for further growth. Want to know more?
