What Benning Power Electronics does

Benning Power Electronics, legally Benning Elektrotechnik und Elektronik GmbH & Co. KG, is a privately held, family-owned German power-electronics manufacturer founded in 1938 and headquartered in Bocholt, Germany, with a US subsidiary in Richardson, Texas. The company designs and manufactures industrial power supply systems, modular rectifiers (TEBECHOP), inverters (INVERTRONIC), uninterruptible power supplies (ENERTRONIC modular SE, 10–1000 kW), telecom power supplies (SLIMLINE NG), energy storage systems, DC fast-charging modules for electric vehicles, traction chargers for industrial trucks, and a portfolio of professional testing and measuring instruments. Its technology architecture is built around modular, scalable hardware platforms complemented by remote monitoring (MCU 3000/2500) and an AI-powered customer-support chatbot ("Ben").

The company sells primarily to enterprise customers in telecommunications, industrial manufacturing, IT/data processing, medical, oil/gas/petrochemical, mining, power generation and distribution, e-mobility, transportation, and water treatment through 30+ wholly-owned subsidiaries across EMEA, the Americas, and APAC. Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales (capital equipment), recurring service contracts (Preventive 360° maintenance, 24/7 hotline, battery management), software/firmware updates, and electrical machine services (on-site diagnostics, repair, and rebuilds of motors and generators up to 120 tonnes). Pricing is quote-based for enterprise solutions and not publicly disclosed. The firm is led by Managing Directors Philipp Benning and Thomas Benning, with no external institutional or public-market ownership.
