- Gasser GmbH

In keeping with our motto: “With united forces.”
History
The SENN Group was founded in 2001 with the first company, KS Kneissl & Senn Technologie GmbH. Initially based in Kufstein, Austria, it is now located in Erl. KS is the largest company in the SENN Group in terms of both employees and turnover and is active as a manufacturer and distributor in several product areas. Originally based in Kufstein in the old Kneissl ski factory, the company has been located in Erl since 2013.
RBS Kompensator GmbH has also been part of the SENN Group since 2009. The Group's stake in this company is 75%. As its name suggests, RBS is involved in the manufacture of (fabric) expansion joints within the Group and, since 2019, also in the (contract) manufacturing of metal parts and flanges.
In 2013, both companies relocated to Erl and Senn Immobilien GmbH was founded for the newly acquired real estate and properties. At the same time, Senn Beteiligungs GmbH was founded and has since acted as the parent company for the individual group companies.
In 2017 and 2018, the companies Gasser GmbH and Ceratec GmbH were acquired, as the previous owners had no successors and the products perfectly complemented the SENN Group's product portfolio. Since 2022, both companies have also relocated to Erl.
In 2018, the first extension to Hall A in Erl took place. This enabled us to increase our high-bay storage capacity by a further 1800m2.
During the pandemic, further parts of the businesses of Wystrach Gießereitechnik and Active Feuerfest were taken over and integrated into the businesses of Ceratec GmbH and Gasser GmbH.
Senn Kraftwerke GmbH was founded at the end of 2021 as part of the acquisition of the Trockenbach Erl power plant. Since then, all of the SENN Group's energy-generating activities have been consolidated within this company. In addition to hydropower, we focus primarily on photovoltaics. In total, between 1.5 and 2 million kWh of sustainable electricity can be produced in this way.
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. Sinteca has been part of the SENN Group since the beginning of 2022. From 2023, the product portfolio will also include the distribution of technical maintenance products and mechanical seals from Chesterton. Unlike the other companies, Sinteca is based in Klosterneuburg, Lower Austria. Sinteca is a 90% subsidiary of the SENN Group.
In 2023, the new HE production and storage hall was opened. Covering a total of 3500 m2, it provides additional production space for the manufacture of expansion joints and the new product range of metal parts for internal use and contract manufacturing. In addition, the high-bay storage capacity is also being expanded.
Since October 2023, Senn Logistik GmbH has been supporting the group in internal and external logistics matters. In addition to full truckloads and scheduled deliveries, we also offer LTL and sprinter services for third-party customers and our own needs.
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).

Group principles
Consistent reinvestment of profits in our own machinery (milling, sawing, plotting, punching, water jet cutting, welding, laser cutting, etc.), Know-how and, above all, our employees make us an important system provider of industrial supplies such as lubricants, seals, refractory products, conveyor chains, plain bearings, compensators, and foundry supplies in Central Europe.
Together with our team, we strive to live up to the idea of a “one-stop shop” and, in line with our motto “Viribus Unitis – with united forces,” sometimes make the impossible possible.
Our actions are subject to very high standards of sustainability in terms of business, social and environmental aspects. Compliance with legal requirements and the continuous improvement of operational performance form the basis of our actions. The family-owned company ensures the gradual development and long-term expansion of the business by maintaining a balance between customers, products and employees in harmony with our environment.
In this spirit, profits are retained within the company and reinvested over the long term. Our focus is on our customers, whose needs represent our greatest challenge. Highly trained and motivated employees help us achieve our long-term goals in a dynamic and forward-looking manner.
