Xortec

What Xortec does

Xortec GmbH is a Frankfurt-based, privately held German limited liability company founded in 1994 that operates as a value-added wholesale distributor and solution provider for professional security and network technology. The company distributes more than 8,000 products across video surveillance, intrusion detection, fire detection, access control, video intercom, IP audio, network components (switches, transceivers, media converters, cabling, UPS), and display systems, sourced from leading manufacturers including Hikvision, Ajax Systems, Motorola Solutions (Avigilon, Pelco), Hanwha Vision, Bosch/IQSight, Axis Communications, Jablotron, Octave (Hexagon/Qognify), Mirasys, EIZO, and CyberPower. Alongside distribution, Xortec sells its own brand of camera masts and mast connection boxes (Xortec Kameramasten), offered in tiltable and fixed variants with accessories.

The firm serves a primarily B2B channel: specialist installers (Facherrichter), wholesalers, dealers, electrical companies, and resellers, with secondary reach into end-customer businesses. It claims a track record of 10,000+ installed security solutions and 6,000+ active customer and partner relationships, supported by six German locations — a headquarters and central warehouse in Frankfurt am Main, plus regional offices in Berlin/Großbeeren, Hamburg, Munich, and Regensburg. The offering includes pre- and aftersales technical consultation, project planning, commissioning support, and account-based dealer pricing delivered through an authenticated online shop.

Revenue is generated through hardware distribution on a pay-as-you-go transaction basis; pricing is opaque to non-registered buyers, with VAT and shipping charged separately. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct regional account coverage with an online catalog and partner programs run jointly with Hikvision, Bosch, Hanwha, and others. Marketing activity includes trade show participation (e.g., SicherheitsExpo 2026), installer training webinars, newsletters, and a social presence on LinkedIn, Xing, and Instagram. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or public financial disclosures are present in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• Anixter / Wesco International: Global distributor of network, security and communications infrastructure products to integrators and installers. Comparable product categories (network, video surveillance, access control), but at vastly larger enterprise scale than Xortec.
• ALSO Group: Major European IT and security technology distributor serving resellers, MSPs and installers across multiple countries. Comparable as a multi-vendor distribution platform, but with significantly larger scale and broader geographic coverage than Xortec's Germany-only footprint.
• TD SYNNEX (Tech Data): Global IT and security distributor with extensive European operations. Comparable in multi-vendor distribution of network and surveillance products, but at a far larger scale and broader portfolio than Xortec.
• ADI Global Distribution (Honeywell): Global low-voltage/security products distributor serving installers and integrators with video, intrusion, fire and access control. Directly comparable in product portfolio to Xortec, but with North American and European scale far exceeding Xortec's German footprint.
• Ingram Micro: Global IT distribution major with a security and surveillance vertical. Comparable in multi-vendor distribution model and installer/reseller channel, but with substantially greater scale and geographic reach than Xortec.

Direct peers

• Allnet GmbH: German value-added distributor specializing in network, security and IoT solutions to installers, resellers and system integrators. Closely comparable to Xortec in product categories (video surveillance, network tech, access control), target customer (Facherrichter) and German geographic focus.
• EFB-Elektronik GmbH: German distributor of network infrastructure, security and AV products serving installers and resellers. Comparable in scale, German regional footprint, and overlap on network and surveillance categories Xortec distributes.
• Herweck AG: German B2B distributor of telecom, IT and security technology products. Overlaps with Xortec on network and surveillance SKUs and the specialist installer / reseller channel, though with a broader telecom weighting.

Regional players

• ABUS Security Center: German security technology brand and channel supplier (video surveillance, intrusion, access control) that sells partly direct and partly through German specialist distributors like Xortec. Comparable in product categories and German DACH focus, but as a manufacturer/brand rather than distributor.

Emerging players

• Smartwares Group: European security and smart-home product supplier distributing through retail and installer channels. Partial overlap with Xortec's intrusion, video and fire categories but oriented more to consumer/smart-home than enterprise installer customers.
