KARLA ENERGIZE and MAN Rollo made contact in the summer of 2012 and met during the MSV Brno exhibition in November 2012. KARLA was looking for a reliable partner and supplier of engines in the 50-500 kWe power output range, along with spare parts. MAN Rollo seemed to be the best choice.

KARLA ENERGIZE in the Czech Republic provides flexible solutions for the design, packaging, delivery & maintenance of natural gas and biogas cogeneration and trigeneration units in a 40-4300 kWe power output range.  KARLA cooperates with partners including MAN, MWM and MTU. KARLA focuses mainly on the Czech Republic, but is starting to acquire projects from Poland, Slovakia, Russia, Belarus and other CIS countries.

KARLA ENERGIZE is a young and open-minded company that combines good quality with fast delivery and reacts flexibly to its customers’ needs.

MAN Rollo: a reliable business partner
‘We met Dennis Singeling of MAN Rollo in 2012 in Brno and from the start we had a really good feeling about cooperating with MAN Rollo’, says Vaclav Klein, head of Project Management at KARLA.  One of his responsibilities is acquiring new projects and partners. He sees to it that his team reacts flexibly to any situation during the project preparation and realization stage in order to be certain that the project will be delivered in good order. ‘We have to be flexible to succeed in the saturated European market and MAN Rollo has the same philosophy. So, I believe that our cultures match. MAN Rollo has a proactive approach and is always eager to help us solve operational problems related to our projects. Dennis and his colleagues help us a lot to achieve our goals. In my opinion our relationship has evolved from supplier/client to a partnership. And MAN Rollo understands that partnership means trust, reliability and mutual help.

We mostly purchase engines, accessories and spare parts. MAN Rollo is a reliable supplier that provides us with the certainty that everything will go smoothly without crucial problems. We also appreciate that there is a choice in the scope of the supplies that we wish to purchase. MAN Rollo is currently our main partner in engine supply and I believe this will remain so for a long time. MAN Rollo focuses on customers and in addition to supplying us with engines, accessories and spare parts, the company is also prepared to share its expertise when needed.

So in short, our reasons for working together with MAN Rollo are its customer approach, short delivery times (because it holds engines in stock), flexibility in scope of supply and last but not least the people at MAN Rollo. Dennis and the MAN Rollo team continuously work to strengthen the partnership.’

Developments
‘However, I believe that it’s time for special solutions in the CHP market, such as syngas solutions, CHP & Steam generation, micro-cogeneration, greenhouses solutions etc. It would be great if MAN Rollo would help its customers on running such projects and developing such technologies. Perhaps this will be the next step in our business relationship?’
