If visions are to become reality, everything depends on the company's own achievement potential being clearly geared towards objectives and there being suitable conditions in place. During implementation processes, the people involved are required to demonstrate passion and expertise. All of these factors have been present at SCHWALM over the last 75 years and have significantly contributed to the level of success that the company is presently enjoying.
From a haulage firm to sewer rehabilitation specialists
Willi Schwalm is the man behind the foundation of the family-run company. What was still a haulage firm managed by Georg Schwalm in the Forties and Fifties has turned into a market leader over many decades. The incessant innovative spirit spurred his son, Willi Schwalm, to look out for specialist equipment for sewer rehabilitation. He even played around with and built himself what he couldn't find on the market. Today, he holds numerous patents. Rehabilitating from the inside what would otherwise only be possible by drilling down. Sewer cleaning and trenchless partial sewer rehabilitation was and is the hot topic.
Division and specialization in the core business: sewer rehabilitation and robotics
2008 saw the Robotics branch spin off from the company Willi Schwalm. Now, there were two companies being operated under the Schwalm name: Willi Schwalm, owned by Martin Schwalm (a registered sole trader), as a service provider and Schwalm Robotic as a manufacturer of special machines for trenchless sewer rehabilitation. Today, both companies are being managed in the third generation by Martin Schwalm.
Being in a position such as this, Schwalm is capable of developing a solution to almost every problem. Something just thought of is built as a prototype, tested and discussed in-house.
1938 – 2013 I 75 years of innovation from tradition
Even after 75 years, Schwalm hasn't lost any of its innovative spirit. It’s constantly on the move to continually further develop and is always following the right impulse at the right time. At regional, national and international levels. With the positive result of Schwalm Robotic products, which are made in Germany, enjoying a more outstanding reputation than ever – on the international scene, too. A mere five years since Schwalm Robotic GmbH was founded, we are also able to celebrate a little anniversary, as we are recording a rapidly growing volume of orders year on year. But Martin Schwalm's area of expertise doesn't just extend to the further development and global marketing of Schwalm Robotic systems. Both the appearance and image of the Schwalm brand are equally important to him. In parallel to the sustained positive business development, the Schwalm logo was given a facelift at the start of 2012.
The result is a modern, likeable appearance in fresh colors that enhance the Schwalm umbrella brand. The refreshed look featuring new, extended content on the Schwalm product or service portfolio was then gradually transferred to other means of communication. The new website and the KANALisiert online newsletter containing current information on and about Schwalm and the relevant market celebrated their Internet launch. What's more, the new brochure line was developed, and the Schwalm Kanalsanierung vehicle fleet has been shining in its self-confident new design since the start of 2013.
