ProKASRO Mechatronik GmbH

ProKASRO Mechatronik GmbH is a German manufacturer specializing in robotic systems and technology for trenchless sewer rehabilitation and pipe inspection, headquartered in Karlsruhe, Baden-Wurttemberg. The company name stands for 'progressive sewer rehabilitation robotics.' ProKASRO was established in August 2000 through a management buyout, taking over production and sales from the engineering office D.T.I. GmbH, which had originally developed the first sewer robot in 1989.

This heritage gives the company over three decades of continuous development in underground pipe rehabilitation technology. The company employs approximately 120 staff and manufactures all products 100% in-house at its company-owned factory in Karlsruhe — a key differentiator that the company describes as an essential brand statement. ProKASRO's product portfolio covers four main categories.

First, the KASRO Working Robots: robotic cutters and milling robots designed for rehabilitation work inside sewer pipes, capable of diagnosing damage and performing structural repairs for pipe diameters from DN 100 up to DN 1200 and various non-circular profiles. Second, UV-CIPP Technology: KASRO UV curing systems from DN 150 up to DN 2000, introduced in 2003, enabling trenchless Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) liner installation using UV light for rapid cure times and reliable quality control. Third, CCTV inspection systems for pipe condition assessment.

Fourth, lateral intake rehabilitation systems for addressing branch connections within main sewer pipes. The company serves municipal and commercial sewer operators, rehabilitation contractors, and utility companies globally, with an international presence that includes ProKASRO Services USA. Its address is Im Schlehert 6, 76187 Karlsruhe, Germany.
