[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]Velten \/ Heidelberg, Germany <\/em>\u2013 BKP Berolina Polyester GmbH & Co. KG (BKP), a subsidiary of United Felts and a leading manufacturer of advanced composite and UV cured-in-place pipe (UV CIPP) liner technology, has been recognized as a TOP 100 Innovator at the German Mittelstand Summit, one of the country\u2019s most prestigious awards honoring innovation among medium-sized companies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The TOP 100<\/a> competition evaluates companies against more than 100 criteria, recognizing organizations that distinguish themselves through systematic innovation management, a strong culture of continuous improvement, and the successful development of market-leading technologies.<\/p>\n

Central to BKP Berolina’s recognition were its long-standing commitment to continuous improvement and the development of its CarboSeal<\/a> district heating liner. Launched in 2021, this unique solution uses a carbon fiber and epoxy resin liner for the trenchless rehabilitation of district heating pipelines in a process that minimizes environmental disruption and can reduce CO\u2082 emissions up to 90 percent. By transferring decades of trenchless rehabilitation expertise to an entirely new infrastructure sector, BKP Berolina demonstrated how innovation can emerge from practical experience and engineering excellence.[\/vc_column_text]

\u201cInnovation comes from people who continually challenge the status quo, improve existing solutions, and push each other to do better. That commitment to continuous improvement has been at the heart of BKP Berolina for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thomas Christiansen, CEO, BKP<\/h5>\n<\/q>[vc_column_text css=””]\u201cThis award recognizes the commitment, passion, and dedication of our entire team,\u201d said Thomas Christiansen. BKP\u2019s Group CEO. \u201cInnovation is never the result of one person or one idea. It comes from people who continually challenge the status quo, improve existing solutions, and push each other to do better. That commitment to continuous improvement has been at the heart of BKP Berolina for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud of what the BKP team has accomplished,\u201d said Matt Timberlake, President, United Felts<\/a>. \u201cThe same culture of innovation that earned this recognition is what continues to drive our business today. Whether we\u2019re advancing UV-CIPP technologies or developing solutions for projects where conventional methods fall short, our focus remains on helping customers solve their most complex infrastructure challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n
