Our company

promaintain - expertise, innovation and success since 2006

promaintain was established in 2006 by Thomas Berger, a Mechanical Engineer and Gerhard Hawemann, a Master Scaffolder and has since become synonymous with outstanding planning and implementation in the process industry. The founders brought their long-standing experience and recognized early on that many projects faced quality challenges, delays, budget overruns, and safety deficits—issues that could be prevented by careful planning and precise work preparation. Backed by a steadily growing team of experts, they’ve been proving for over 19 years how to achieve higher efficiency.

Since 2023, promaintain has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Peri SE in Weißenhorn. The company will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2026.

 

What can our our clients expect from our business mission

„Close to the customer. Close to the project.“?

The key to promaintain’s success is our pragmatic approach paired with state-of-the-art digital tools. On every construction site, we daily prove that we communicate awith all project stakeholders transparently and reliably at eye level. As a result, we offer our customers unique full-service engineering that covers technical, organisational and commercial aspects. We are well-versed in the chemical, refinery, petrochemical, and power generation industries, working confidently on projects across these fields.

 

Experts in work safety, deadline compliance and budget control

We know the specific requirements of operators in terms of safety, scheduling and budget compliance. We are also very familiar with the challenges faced by contractors and subcontractors. Thanks to our experience from accompanying numerous shutdowns - where time is of the essence -, we have continuously developed together with our customers. Thanks to our tailor-made methods, we minimize typical interface problems on construction sites - one of the keys to successful project execution.

 

Innovative solutions - from 3D laser scans to digital scaffold management

We are driven by continuous innovation – from the use of 3D laser scanning to our proven digital scaffolding management system, which we have been applying successfully for several years. We are constantly testing new solutions that offer real, practical value.
