SEAR GmbH was honored by 50Hertz as "Best Contractor 2025 in the field of HSEQ substations". With this award, the European transmission system operator recognizes the special achievements of SEAR GmbH in the planning and implementation of substations in the context of the energy transition. The award particularly highlights the company's consistent compliance with the highest standards in the areas of health, safety, environment and quality (HSEQ).

The company impresses with its exemplary implementation of occupational safety, environmental protection, nature conservation and quality on construction sites. The basis for this success is the lived mission of SEAR GmbH: "The actions of all employees are characterized by a sense of personal responsibility for safety. We also work together with our partners to ensure a shared awareness of environmental protection and occupational safety." This attitude characterizes the daily actions in all projects and forms the basis for the close and successful cooperation with 50Hertz.

SEAR GmbH has been awarded TOP Training Company 2025 by the Rostock Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK), making it one of the best training companies in the region. The seal confirms the outstanding quality of training that SEAR GmbH ensures and continuously expands. Young people who start their training there can look forward to a modern, practical and future-oriented training concept. Apprenticeships are offered in the professions of electronics technician for industrial engineering, industrial electrician and industrial clerk.

The trainees not only receive sound professional training and personal support, but also have a very good chance of being taken on after successfully completing their training and remaining part of the team in the long term.

Founders Thomas Lambusch and Mayk Wiese decided early on that they wanted a successor from within their own ranks - despite lucrative offers from investors. In 2020, Michael Schmidt, once an apprentice, was the first to become a partner and member of the management board. Alexander Ciupka, also with many years of SEAR experience, followed shortly afterwards. Kristian Richter joined at the end of 2024.

A university internship led Kristian Richter to the SEAR Group in 2008 - today he is also a co-partner and Managing Director. Three of the five current owners started out as trainees or interns. Today, Michael Schmidt, Alexander Ciupka and Kristian Richter hold more than 50% of the SEAR Group and manage the operational business.

A bold step that harbors private risks. But the team believes in the company, whose order books are well filled until 2035.

SEAR Group and EMIS Group establish joint venture for the intelligent networking of energy systems, buildings and industries

The Rostock-based SEAR Group, which specializes in energy and industrial technology as well as automation, has founded a joint venture with the EMIS group of companies, which specializes in energy supply, electrical engineering and automation. The SEAR Group and EMIS each hold 50 percent of the shares in the new company, which is called ESSI GmbH (EMIS SEAR Smart Infrastructure GmbH) and is based in Berlin. The aim is to be able to offer even better and more comprehensive solutions from a single source in the challenging and rapidly growing market of digitalization and intelligent networking of energy systems. Both SEAR and EMIS are very successful on the market, both nationally and internationally. While SEAR has made a name for itself in recent years with the electrotechnical construction of large power plants, transformer stations, offshore plants and production management systems, e.g. for BASF, EMIS is a successful service partner in conventional power plants, offshore wind farms and as a project partner for the optimization of industrial production processes and safe passenger transport in amusement rides, e.g. at Europapark Rust. Against the backdrop of increasing digitalization and intelligent networking in almost all areas of life, the "Smart Infrastructure" business area is a rapidly growing market with great long-term potential. In particular, this involves the implementation of networked offers and services, combined with the installation of products, components and systems - for example in the areas of intelligent electricity grid control and storage. This requires a high level of expertise and various skills. Both partners bring the necessary and complementary knowledge and skills to the joint venture ESSI. ESSI GmbH can draw on a workforce of 800 specialists from both companies to carry out its orders and the customer is offered the entire value chain from a single source (full service provider). A greater diversity of the services offered as well as improved independence from crises are further advantages of the joint venture.
