cities and under traffic routes or rivers can be renewed and maintained for at least another 50 years. Primus Line® can also be laid above ground. This was the case, for example, during an emergency operation in Messina, Italy. After a landslide had destroyed a main water pipeline, hundreds of thousands of people were cut off from water supply. The necessary equipment was delivered to Italy overnight and then installed by the Italian partner in the difficult-to-access mountain region.
The company also relies on “Made in Germany” for production. Three production lines are available in the specially built and designed production hall. In the company's own logistics centre, the Primus Liner is stored and picked according to the orders. From there it starts its journey pre-folded and wound on reels by truck, air freight or in sea containers. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the company's own construction site teams carry out the projects. In all other countries, Primus
Line works with trained partner companies, which are accompanied and supported from the beginning to the end of a project. Here, too, the company has built up a large network.
And what are the company’s plans for the future? "Quite a few things," promises Werner Rädlinger: "We will continue to open up new markets, find new areas of application and develop our product range accordingly. In addition, we will start constructing three new halls this year to expand our logistics centre. A total of 8,000 square metres of additional space will be created, which we will urgently need in the coming years."
About the history of Primus Line:
Josef Rädlinger Senior set the course for Rädlinger primus line GmbH with Rädlinger Maschinen- und Anlagenbau GmbH (today Rädlinger Maschinen- und Stahlbau GmbH) and the takeover of the company Müller from Cham, which among other things manufactured circular looms, e.g. for fire hoses. At that time, Rädlinger manufactured, inter alia, gas pressure regulating stations and was therefore well networked in the gas industry. This industry was increasingly faced with the challenge of aging pipeline networks in need of renovation.
At the same time, Rädlinger continued to develop the circular loom of the Müller company, which had been taken over for lack of a successor. In the end, a machine was created that could do almost too much "only" for the production of fire hoses. Thus, the idea

of a kind of "super hose" for the rehabilitation of pressure lines was born.
After five years of hard development work in cooperation with the gas trading company "Verbundnetz Gas", Rädlinger primus line GmbH was founded in 2001 and the product Primus Line® was introduced to the market. In 2003, the first project followed in Leipzig. After difficult initial years and the entry into the water and oil markets, the importance of trenchless technologies increased. With the construction of the new production plant in 2008, the phase of expansion and growth began. In 2013, the first branch office was founded in the USA, and in 2016, the company conquered its sixth continent with Africa. Further branches, steadily increasing order volumes and capacity expansions followed.
