Why is STRABAG on stage at VDBUM with Rosenberger Telematics?

2026.02.12, Willingen

At the 54th VDBUM Seminar 2026 in Willingen (February 10–13), the construction industry focused on the main theme of “Building bridges – shaping the future!” This year's industry gathering was a particular highlight for Rosenberger Telematics: CEO Christian Meschnig took to the stage alongside Christoph Kellner, telematics project manager at STRABAG BMTI, and demonstrated in the session “Telematics made easy” how digitalization can be implemented simply, securely, and scalably in the construction industry – using STRABAG BMTI as a practical example. 

Together on stage – sending a strong signal to the industry

The joint presentation by STRABAG and Rosenberger Telematics underscores the trusting cooperation between the two companies. The long-standing partnership, which is based on stability and a high level of implementation expertise, has proven itself in numerous successful projects. Rosenberger Telematics has been supporting STRABAG as a “global” telematics partner in over 15 countries since 2018 – and thus to an extent that goes far beyond individual projects.

Practical example STRABAG BMTI: Telematics for machinery worth billions

The presentation focused on STRABAG BMTI, the STRABAG Group's mechanical engineering service provider responsible for the group-wide operational management of mobile equipment (including construction machinery, vehicles, and devices) based on standardized guidelines. 

It is precisely in this environment that the true importance of telematics becomes apparent: consolidating and harmonizing data from various sources and making it usable as a reliable basis for decision-making—for example, for investments, maintenance, logistics, asset tracking, or CO₂ reporting. 

“Telematics made easy” – from data to decisions

Rosenberger Telematics demonstrated a clear 5-step process for turning heterogeneous telematics data into usable insights: from data import, source integration, and harmonization to use cases and integration into existing systems. Standardization is key here: different data formats are converted into a uniform model so that fleets and machine parks become transparent, comparable, and controllable. 

• Christian Meschnig, CEO Rosenberger Telematics:
  “The fact that STRABAG is standing on stage with us sends a strong signal. Our collaboration is geared toward international rollout—and it is precisely this reliability that is crucial for us and for STRABAG.”

• Dipl.-Ing. Christoph Kellner, Projektmanager Telematik STRABAG BMTI:
  “Telematics must function effectively in everyday use: data quality, standardization, and scalability are key success factors for us—and this is precisely where Rosenberger Telematics has been delivering impressive results for years.”

Experience COMMANDER live – exchange at the trade fair stand

Parallel to the lecture program, Rosenberger Telematics invited visitors to its trade fair stand for a live demo of the COMMANDER telematics platform – a 100% in-house development with highly scalable streaming architecture and a focus on large device fleets. Visitors were able to exchange ideas in person about use cases, integrations, and rollout experience.

Conclusion: The joint appearance with STRABAG is an honor – and a clear signal to the market and competition. Rosenberger Telematics stands for a partnership that has not only grown historically, but also scales operationally – internationally, long-term, and on an equal footing.
