Trenchless sewer rehabilitation systems and diamond cutting tools
IMS Group operates a manufacturing collective focused on trenchless technologies for underground infrastructure repair, with production across robotics systems, cutting tools, and ancillary equipment. The tech stack—CAD, CODESYS, EtherCAT, and industrial protocols (CAN, RS-485)—reflects embedded systems and hardware-in-the-loop design. Active hiring skews heavily toward engineering and junior roles, while projects signal internal maturation: lean production, cost calculation infrastructure, and data management systems suggest the group is standardizing operational practices across its subsidiaries post-acquisition.
