Core technology foundations are manufacturer-independent integration across Siemens, Schneider Electric, B&R, AVEVA/Wonderware, EPLAN, COMOS, OPC UA and Ethernet-APL, anchored in significant integration engineering depth and certified per ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001.

The company monetizes through multi-year project-based industrial engineering contracts (planning, procurement, construction, commissioning) delivered as general contractor or specialist subcontractor, complemented by recurring 24/7 maintenance, managed IT/OT SOC services, and software/platform licensing (DOCU2ACT, AUTECS). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via regional offices and direct engagement of engineering, procurement, and operations buyers at manufacturing plants, infrastructure operators, and process industry clients; segment mix is anchored in process industries (chemicals, paper/pulp, food/beverage, steel, automotive, life sciences), infrastructure and critical infrastructure operators (ports, water, datacenters, energy), manufacturing, energy utilities, and maritime. Named references include the Hamburg Port Authority's new Kattwyk railway bridge (1,800-ton lift field, 4x 245 kW drives, ~5,000 data points), HADAG's St. Pauli e-ferry charging infrastructure (up to 4 MW, ten ferries), breweries and dairies across the German-speaking region, and Hannover Messe 2026 joint OT/IT showcases with sister brand Axians. Marketing relies on major industrial trade fairs (Hannover Messe, SPS, BrauBeviale, ZELLCHEMING, wire, LogiMAT), academic talent partnerships (HHL Leipzig, HTWK Leipzig), and a dense multi-channel social/owned-media presence. Brand identity is Cegelec legacy assets rolled into the unified Actemium brand under VINCI Energies Deutschland Industry & Infrastructure GmbH.
