At the beginning of August 2026, Eduard Krebs took over as Head of the DHS International Business Segment at BRUGG Pipes. With more than 15 years of experience in sales, marketing and business development, as well as various international leadership roles, he brings extensive expertise to his new position.
Most recently, Eduard Krebs served as Chief Sales Officer. In this role, his responsibilities included developing international markets and building sustainable relationships with customers and partners. His international experience, intercultural expertise and strong customer focus provide a solid foundation for further developing collaboration with sales partners worldwide and expanding BRUGG Pipes' international presence.
"I am very much looking forward to working together with our sales partners to further develop our international markets. For me, close and trusted collaboration, combined with a consistent focus on our customers, forms the basis for sustainable success."
Strong portfolio for international markets
With Eduard Krebs, an internationally experienced manager takes responsibility for the DHS International Business Segment, which is also benefiting from an enhanced product portfolio. In 2026, BRUGG Pipes expanded its international portfolio with two new flexible, pre-insulated piping systems:
ARMOPEX was developed specifically for local and district heating networks with higher pressure requirements. An aramid mesh in the PE-Xa inner pipe increases mechanical strength and enables operation at pressures of up to 12 bar.
CALPEX ULTRA combines two applications in a single system: the flexible pipe can be used both for heating and district heating applications and for drinking water. The inner pipes have the relevant drinking water approval.
This enables BRUGG Pipes to offer its international customers additional solutions that are ideally suited to the requirements of modern heating and utility networks.
Focus on international collaboration
For Eduard Krebs, staying close to customers is a key priority. Together with its sales partners, BRUGG Pipes aims to further develop international markets, strengthen customer relationships and provide the right solutions for a wide range of local requirements.
The combination of international experience, a strong partner network and an expanded product portfolio provides a solid foundation for achieving these goals.
Continuity during the transition
Eduard Krebs takes over the leadership role following twelve months of interim management by Pablo Behrens. BRUGG Pipes would like to thank Pablo Behrens for his outstanding commitment and successful work during this period. He will continue to support the transition and assist Eduard Krebs as he settles into his new role.
Shaping the future together
With its new leadership, BRUGG Pipes is providing further momentum for the international development of the DHS International Business Segment. Strong partnerships, close customer relationships and solutions that meet the requirements of modern heating and utility networks will continue to be at the heart of this development.
