What ComAp does

ComAp a.s. is a Czech Republic–headquartered, founder-family-owned industrial control systems company founded in 1991, designing and manufacturing smart control solutions for power generation, marine, and smart energy management applications. Its product portfolio spans genset controllers (InteliGen, InteliSys, InteliLite families, InteliATS), hybrid microgrid and battery energy storage system (BESS) controllers (InteliNeo 6000), mains protection (InteliMains), marine engine controllers (InteliDrive 700 Marine), HMI displays (InteliVision 5/12Touch/18Touch), communication gateways (InteliGateway 300/301), and the WebSupervisor cloud-based fleet monitoring platform — supported by proprietary configuration tools (GenConfig, DriveConfig, PLC editor) and validated interoperability with SMA, Schneider, Fronius, and Jinko ESS third-party inverters and storage.

The company serves enterprise customers across power generation, marine, mission-critical infrastructure (data centers, hospitals, banks), remote and island communities, and OEMs embedding its controllers (e.g., HIMOINSA, TEDOM GROUP) in switchgear and gensets. It generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of industrial control systems complemented by a smaller recurring software and services stream (configuration, integration, WebSupervisor subscriptions, technical support), pricing via custom quotes through direct field sales and a representative network spanning 179 countries and 13 wholly-owned subsidiaries.

ComAp operates a global enterprise field-sales GTM with 517 employees across subsidiaries in Europe (Czech Republic, France, UK, Spain), North America, Australia, and elsewhere; holds deep certification coverage (IACS marine type approvals, UL 6200, ISA 62443 cybersecurity, Stage V / Tier 4 Final emissions, ISO 9001/14001/31000); and is led by CEO Frederic Deman (appointed March 2023, ex-Thales/Gemalto), CFO Peter Berger, and non-executive Chairman Kevin Matthews. Recent strategic emphasis has been on hybrid microgrid and BESS control, marine expansion, and inorganic growth via the 2025 acquisition of French engineering firm ARPEE.

Core offering

ComAp designs, manufactures, and sells industrial control hardware and embedded software for power generation, hybrid microgrids, and marine engine management. Its core products are genset controllers (InteliGen, InteliSys, InteliLite, InteliMains, InteliNeo families), HMI displays (InteliVision), communication gateways (InteliGateway), and the WebSupervisor cloud-based fleet monitoring platform, complemented by configuration tools and technical support services.

Product overview

ComAp offers a comprehensive portfolio of smart control solutions for power generation and energy management. The product line is organized around several core controller families: InteliGen (paralleling gen-set controllers including InteliGen 1000, InteliGen 500 G2, InteliGen4 200, InteliGen NT BaseBox, and InteliGen NTC BaseBox) for diesel gen-set control and paralleling operations; InteliSys (InteliSys NTC BaseBox and discontinued InteliSys NTC Hybrid) for CHP and switchgear applications; InteliNeo (InteliNeo 6000) for hybrid microgrid control; InteliMains for mains protection and supervision; and InteliLite for single gen-set applications. These controllers are complemented by HMI/display products (InteliVision 5, 12Touch, 18Touch), communication gateways (InteliGateway 300/301, InteliFieldbus Gateway), and the WebSupervisor cloud-based monitoring platform. The InteliNeo 6000 master controller coordinates hybrid microgrids by balancing gen-sets with renewable sources and battery storage, while the InteliGen family provides power management for parallel generator operation in critical infrastructure applications.

Direct peers

• Woodward (Standex Electronics): Woodward is the most direct peer to ComAp, designing engine and genset control systems, power management, and turbine control products for OEMs in power generation, marine, and aerospace. Both companies compete head-to-head on paralleling genset controllers and engine management, with similar target customers (HIMOINSA, Cummins-style integrators). Now part of Standex Electronics, giving it larger parent backing.
• DEIF: DEIF is a Danish-headquartered direct competitor to ComAp, manufacturing power management controllers, genset controllers, and marine bridge instrumentation. Both companies target switchgear OEMs, genset packagers, and marine integrators with comparable product families (paralleling, mains protection, ATS).

Broad incumbents

• Cummins (PowerCommand): Cummins is one of the world's largest genset OEMs and competes with ComAp via its PowerCommand control platform embedded in Cummins gensets. While much larger and vertically integrated into engines, Cummins competes with ComAp when genset buyers evaluate the controller architecture, particularly in data center and mission-critical backup.
• Caterpillar (CAT EMCP): Caterpillar's EMCP controller platform is embedded across its global genset lineup and competes with ComAp's InteliGen family for paralleling and power management. Caterpillar offers a fully integrated genset-plus-controller solution, frequently displacing third-party controller suppliers in CAT-rigged projects.
• Siemens (SIMATIC / SICAM): Siemens is a broad industrial automation incumbent whose SIMATIC PLCs and SICAM power automation portfolio overlap with ComAp in switchgear control, microgrid orchestration, and critical infrastructure power management. Siemens competes with ComAp particularly in utility-grade and large industrial microgrids.
• ABB: ABB's automation, switchgear, and microgrid solutions (e.g., Ability e-Mesh) compete with ComAp at the higher end of the hybrid microgrid and utility-scale storage markets. ABB's portfolio breadth across drives, switchgear, and grid software makes it a frequent incumbent in the same RFPs where ComAp's InteliNeo 6000 is bid.
• Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure platform integrates power management, microgrids, and energy storage controls — overlapping with ComAp's smart energy management portfolio. Schneider is a known integration partner of ComAp (CL60E inverters), illustrating both collaboration and competition at the system level.
• Generac Industrial Power: Generac is a major North American genset manufacturer with proprietary PowerManager and Modular Power System controls that compete with ComAp's InteliGen family in industrial standby and prime power applications.

Others

• SMA Solar Technology: SMA is a leading inverter and hybrid energy management vendor that collaborates with ComAp (InteliSys Hybrid BaseBox interfaces with SMA STP 60 inverters) but also increasingly competes at the hybrid microgrid controller layer. As SMA expands its own Sunny Central storage and grid-forming capabilities, it represents both an integration partner and adjacent competitor.

Regional players

• AKSA Power Generation: AKSA is a Turkish-headquartered genset manufacturer with growing presence in EMEA and Africa that competes with ComAp-equipped OEMs in price-sensitive emerging markets. While AKSA mostly embeds its own controllers, in some regions it competes indirectly for hybrid microgrid project wins alongside ComAp-equipped integrators.
