Brixlegg/Mannheim, July 2025 – SPIEGLTEC is continuing its successful expansion in Germany. After Berlin, Köthen and Leipzig, the Austrian company is opening a new location in Mannheim. This brings the EPCMV specialist even closer to its customers in the Rhine-Neckar region and strengthens its position as a leading provider of integrated engineering services in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Founded over 27 years ago, SPIEGLTEC, headquartered in Brixlegg, Tyrol, has since established itself as a leading provider of engineering services in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The owner-managed company covers all disciplines – from engineering, procurement and construction management to validation. SPIEGLTEC is also consistently pursuing this “one-stop shop” philosophy at its new location in Mannheim. “Our holistic approach remains unchanged in Mannheim. SPIEGLTEC’s aim is to be closer to its customers in order to implement projects more efficiently and precisely. Mannheim offers ideal conditions for this thanks to its infrastructure and industrial connections,” emphasizes Christian Peintner, Managing Director of SPIEGLTEC in Austria. Together with the six existing German locations (Berlin, Bonn, Köthen, Leipzig, Penzberg and Burgkirchen), SPIEGLTEC is pursuing the goal of continuously expanding its market position in the DACH region.
Mannheim: The gateway to the German chemical and pharmaceutical industry
The city’s central location in the heart of the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region makes it one of the most important clusters for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries in Germany. “The proximity to existing customers and the availability of qualified specialists from these industries create optimal conditions for further growth. Our goal is to establish the proven quality and innovative strength that SPIEGLTEC stands for here in the long term and thus meet the demanding needs of the German market,” said Peintner.

Challenges and opportunities in the German market
The German EPCMV market offers both promising opportunities and specific challenges. Germany’s innovative strength and technological leadership, especially in the areas of automation and digitalization, open up new opportunities for advanced engineering solutions. In addition, there is a strong focus on sustainable and environmentally friendly construction practices: companies that offer sustainable solutions can gain a competitive advantage. At the same time, strict regulatory requirements and skills shortages in the engineering and construction sectors require customized strategies. The cost of materials and labor is high in Germany, making budgeting and cost control a challenge.
Martin Haase, an experienced industry expert, is therefore at the helm of the German expansion. The 59-year-old process engineering graduate has many years of national and international experience as a managing director and in engineering and sales management. His knowledge of the German market and his industry network make him the ideal bridge builder between Austrian expertise and the needs of the German market.
Unique market position thanks to Austrian expertise
SPIEGLTEC stands out from the competition thanks to several unique selling points: the company offers individual, tailor-made solutions and relies on innovative technologies and sustainable practices. The combination of Austrian engineering expertise and German know-how creates unique added value for customers.
“The efficient and effective cooperation between the teams in Austria and Germany is essential for our successful development,” emphasizes Haase. Regular meetings and workshops, internal digital platforms, employee exchange programs, and ongoing training and further education ensure the necessary transfer of knowledge. This also generates further synergies and conserves resources. “We don’t just want to grow, we also want to continuously develop the structures of the organization. The transfer of expertise between the two countries is key to this,” says Haase.
