Hermann Pipersberg

What Hermann Pipersberg does

Hermann Pipersberg Jr. GmbH is a privately held German GmbH, founded in 1843 and headquartered in Remscheid-Lüttringhausen. The company manufactures precision metering devices for gas, water, heat, and — as of January 2026 — electricity, serving German municipal utility companies (Kommunale Versorgungsunternehmen). Its product portfolio spans IoT-enabled gas meters developed in cooperation with ITRON, GWF, and HONEYWELL (BK-G series with MID approval), ultrasonic water meters under the Ultrimis NEO brand (produced via OEM partner Apator Powogaz SA), heat meters, electricity meters, and the Cyble 5 communication module (developed with ITRON). The IoTree platform, developed in partnership with IoT specialist PHYSEC, is a manufacturer-independent, cross-utility infrastructure layer supporting LoRaWAN, Wireless MBus, and NB-IoT standards.

Commercially, PIPERSBERG operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market, with direct internal sales teams organized by product category (Gas, Water & Heat, Electricity, Communication). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through four streams: hardware sales of metering devices, accredited testing and calibration services at three in-house test centers (GNW50, WNW50, ENW50), repair management and logistics services, and customer training. The company is independently owned — no venture capital, private equity, or parent company is referenced in the data — with leadership recently restructured in April 2026 under new Managing Director Yusa Özkilic. Geographic operations are limited to Germany.
