What Amper does

Grupo Amper is a Spanish dual-use technology group founded in 1955, headquartered in Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid), and listed on the Spanish continuous market for over 35 years, with approximately 3,800 employees operating across more than 20 countries. The company is organized into two business units: Defense and National Security, and Energy and Sustainability. The Defense unit delivers aeronautical, critical, tactical, and civil/IoT communications systems; protection systems (signal intelligence, embedded platforms, physical security); and energy management and storage for military applications. The Energy unit provides engineering and fabrication of fixed and floating offshore wind foundations, electrical distribution network deployment and maintenance (centered on the ELINSA do Brasil subsidiary), and broader infrastructure engineering. Amper reported €254 million in revenue and €46 million in EBITDA in 2025, with an order backlog of €695 million at year-end.

The core technology base is proprietary and certified: GEMYC is a critical communications management platform certified under Spain's Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS) at High Level and deployed in airports, metros, and emergency services; PREDAIR is an AI and Big Data solution for predictive monitoring of aeronautical IP networks; U5-SPACE is a 5G/AI drone traffic management platform; ULISES VCS is a portable air traffic control communications system; and HYDROSMART applies AI and IoT to water management. Operating subsidiaries include ELINSA do Brasil (electrical infrastructure), Alfred Smart (smart home/building IoT, Barcelona), WindWaves (naval engineering), and the recently acquired Zeleros assets (battery and electromagnetic technology). R&D projects, several grant-funded through Spain's CDTI and PERTE Aeroespacial, run alongside commercial operations.

Amper's revenue model is project-based professional services with long-cycle contracts. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales to government defense agencies, critical infrastructure operators (airports, metros, utilities), and public-sector buyers with strategic channel partnerships: Telefonica for joint bids on critical communications (notably the 10-airport Aena modernization), and Navantia for naval electrical systems (F-110 frigates, S-80 submarines). Named customers span Aena, Telefonica, Metro de Madrid, Saudi Air Navigation Services, Mauritania Airports, Navantia, and Equatorial Group Brazil. The 2026–2028 Strategic Plan targets revenue above €800 million and EBITDA above €130 million, supported by €150M+ in planned cumulative capex and an active inorganic programme led by the announced Teltronic acquisition (up to €225M with earn-out) and 3–5 follow-on defense acquisitions.

Broad incumbents

• Thales Group: Global defense, aerospace, and digital security company with strong positions in secure communications, air traffic management, and signal intelligence - directly comparable to Amper's PREDAIR, GEMYC, and SIGINT capabilities.
• Rheinmetall AG: German defense technology company with growing focus on defense electronics and communications systems. Comparable as a beneficiary of European defense spending increases and consolidator in the European defense ecosystem.
• Cellnex Telecom: European critical telecommunications infrastructure operator (towers, emergency networks). Comparable in serving public safety communications networks and critical infrastructure operators, particularly across Spain and Southern Europe.
• Siemens Energy: Global energy technology company involved in grid infrastructure, power electronics, and offshore wind grid connections. Comparable in electrical distribution infrastructure and renewable energy engineering adjacent to Amper's ELINSA and offshore wind activities.
• Leonardo S.p.A. Italian defense and aerospace group operating in mission-critical communications, electronic warfare, and naval systems across European defense markets. Comparable in dual-use defense technology portfolio and European public-sector contract base.
• Airbus Defence and Space: Major European defense prime competing across military communications, secure networks, and aeronautical systems. Comparable in defense ICT and critical communications but operates at much greater scale across Europe.

Direct peers

• Navantia: Spanish state-owned naval shipbuilder and existing Amper partner for F-110 frigate and S-80 submarine programs. Comparable in serving Spanish defense industrial base, though Navantia is a customer/partner rather than pure competitor.
• Teltronic: Teltronic is a Spanish mission-critical communications provider (TETRA, DMR, LTE) being acquired by Amper for €155M. Direct peer in critical radio communications for public safety, transport, and utilities before the acquisition closes.
• Indra Sistemas: Indra is Spain's largest IT and defense systems company, directly competing with Amper in Spanish defense communications, air traffic management, and electronic warfare programs. Both serve Spanish Ministry of Defense, Aena, and critical infrastructure operators.

Others

• Telefonica Engineering: Strategic partner of Amper for joint bids on critical communications infrastructure projects (e.g., Aena airports). Adjacent in telecommunications infrastructure deployment but operates as partner/channel rather than direct competitor in defense communications.
