GEPIMA and HORSCH: combining competences for the forestry sector

GEPIMA was founded in 2022 by Michael and Markus Pirkenseer and Reinhold Rösel and stands for innovative and high-quality forest technology. Michael and Markus Pirkenseer were born with a passion for forest and forestry. They realised early what a crucial role the right technology plays with regard to forest management. As long-term employees of the HORSCH company in the development sector and due to the experience gained by forestry practice, they gradually developed new concepts and ideas for practical forest work.

The foundation of GEPIMA was the starting point for the further development and sales of state-of-the-art forest technology. With the three existing products, the young company was able to make a good name for itself on the market in a very short time.

In the course of intensive discussion, it was decided to combine the competences of HORSCH and GEPIMA and to operate under the name HORSCH PIRK Forestry GmbH.

The co-operation will use established structures of the HORSCH Maschinen GmbH and create synergies to push technological developments and develop new markets.

The step into forest technology is a new challenge for HORSCH, but combining the competences offers great opportunities. With strong partners and a shared passion for the development of innovative machines, the basis for a successful future has been created.
