Founded in 1976, KA-TE PMO AG is the first company in the world to have manufactured remote-controlled robots for sewer rehabilitation. Today, rehabilitation specialists around the world value the outstanding quality and economic efficiency of the KA-TE method. The team based at company headquarters in Altendorf in Switzerland, located directly on Lake Zurich, devotes its significant specialist skills to developing, improving and servicing our robot systems. Always with a claim to utmost precision – from the smallest screw to a fully equipped system vehicle. Based on decades of experience and a focus on the practical demands of carrying out partial repairs to wastewater pipelines, we build robot systems that count among the best on the market, as evidenced by the IKT product tests “Repair Methods for Main Sewers” and “Repair Methods for Lateral Connections”. More than 360 KA-TE systems and 120 compact systems have been delivered to customers since 1979, the year KA-TE founder Erich Himmler and his team developed the first prototype of a hydraulically powered sewer rehabilitation robot. Many of the KA-TE systems in active use are more than 20 years old.
