2011
Despite the economic crisis, the company Kummert has been growing steadily and soon it becomes clear: A new building is needed! At the beginning of this year, the contruction of a new company building commences on the adjacent site having been aquired in the meantime. At the end of May, after a construction period of only 4 months, the Kummert milling and turning department moves into the new production hall with an area of 1200 m².
2010
The CamMobile® crawler prototype is being presented at IFAT ENTSORGA 2010 in Munich. The crawler is to considerably expand the range of use of mobile inspection systems, as it facilitates surveys of large pipe diameters over distances of up to 200 m.
The system CamMobile® Profi 3 and CamFlex® now also captures customers in foreign countries of Europe.
2009
Foundation of the limited liability company Kummert GmbH and entry into the commercial register. The company Kummert Inspektionssysteme e.K. (registered merchant) remains in place as an independant company and acts as supplier to the GmbH. The camera CamFlex® with turning capabilities, showcased at IFAT in 2008, has successfully established itself in the market along with the software can3D®. In October, the new inspection system CamMobile® Profi 3 was debuted at Entsorga-Enteco in Cologne. The first Kummert service point opens in Hamburg to better cover northern Germany in regards to repairs and services.
2008
Construction of the new building, as well as reconstruction of the existing company building have been completed. Kummert Inspektionssysteme now employs more than 50 staff members.
In May, the new camera CamFlex® with turning capabilities is successfully showcased at IFAT in Munich. By the end of the year, the accompanying software can3D® for automatically creating three-dimensional pipe plans has been launched onto the market as well.
In order to satisfy the increasing demand in sewer inspection systems in Germany and abroad, the production of chimney inspection systems is discontinued at the end of the year.
2007
Since spring, the construction of the new building with 1500 m² has been well under way and will be completed by fall this year. The company now counts 40 employees and holds a firm position in the sewer industry. The inspection device CamMobile® Profi II significantly defines the state of the art in the field of push camera systems. In order to also offer its technology in the area of TV inspection vehicles, a new system is rolled out at the beginning of the year: the CamMobile® Profi-Rack. Existing TV inspection vehicles by any manufacturer can be upgraded to feature digital status capture in a fast and inexpensive manner.
2006
Kummert rolls out several highlights. At the beginning of the year, the CamMobile® Profi II, a considerably revised and extended version of the CamMobile® Profi, is launched onto the market and has been regarded as the pioneer device in the area of all-in-one push-camera-systems in this market ever since. In the middle of the year, two new, smaller sewer inspection systems follow: CamMobile® Easy and CamMobile® Compact. The year of new products is topped off with the reintroduction of the pan and tilt camera K-70L with integrated nominal diameter measurement. Increasing sales also increase the demand for new staff and more work space, and a new company building is being planned.
2004
The image capture device for chimney cameras and the sewer inspection system CamMobile® Profi are launched onto the market. For the first time, the pipe inspection's portion of the sales volume exceeds 50% of the total sales volume of 2 million Euros. Still, the field of chimney inspection systems remains in great demand.
