About iPEK
iPEK International GmbH, headquartered in Sulzberg in the Allgäu region, develops, produces and distributes camera systems for monitoring and inspection of all kinds, with a focus on CCTV sewer inspection. The portfolio includes mainline crawlers of the ROVION series for pipes DN100 to DN2000, lateral launch crawlers, push cameras (AGILIOS), zoom video cameras, manhole scanners, video nozzles and inspection vehicles. The offering is complemented by the WinCan inspection software with defect coding according to PACP/MACP, WRc and Isybau, AI defect coding, mapping/GIS and rehabilitation planning. From a small office and a garage in Sonthofen, a global manufacturer with nine locations and more than 50 partners has grown over more than 30 years. Own service and repair centers in Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom, a rental fleet at 23 locations as well as training and maintenance offerings accompany the systems throughout their entire lifecycle. Customers come from the water and wastewater industry, oil & gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and energy.
