Bedelec

What Bedelec does

Bedelec nv is a Belgian industrial automation system integrator founded in 1988 and headquartered in Ooigem (Wielsbeke), Belgium, operating as part of the Lysair Group conglomerate. The company delivers custom-designed electrotechnical, automation, and drive technology solutions to industrial manufacturing clients and industrial suppliers, spanning SMEs through multinational corporates across Belgium and Germany.

The firm's core offering is organized across three service lines: Electrotechnics (transformer installation, cabling, cable duct systems, panel construction, lighting, security, data/communication infrastructure, and medium voltage equipment), Automation (installation design, P&ID, risk analysis, PLC/PC programming, motion control, HMI development, production/process control, and ERP integration via Ethernet/Profinet/CanBus), and Drives & Motion (variable frequency drives from 0.2kW to 5MW, servo drives, DC drives, soft starters, AC and reluctance motors, geared motors, servomotors, and radio remote controls). A proprietary motion control software library with standard function blocks for palletizing, packaging, unwinders, portal systems, and flying shear applications is positioned as a programming-time reducer. Engineering depth is supported by recognized partnerships with Siemens (Solution Partner for Automation-Drives) and Pilz (Preferred Partner for safety automation), with additional minor partnerships with Smappee (energy monitoring) and IMET (radio remote controls).

The business model is project-based and custom-engineered, with revenue generated through one-time industrial automation projects and professional services (commissioning, parameter setting, safety circuit testing, troubleshooting, and maintenance). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with full project lifecycle ownership from study and design through construction, installation, commissioning, and follow-up. The company maintains its own engineering office and production department, enabling bespoke project construction to specification. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts appear negotiated on a per-project basis. Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees, and no funding rounds, acquisitions, or public capital markets activity are disclosed.

Core offering

Bedelec designs and delivers custom industrial automation solutions combining electrotechnics (transformer installation, cabling, panel construction, lighting, security, data/communication infrastructure, medium voltage equipment), automation (PLC/PC programming, industrial networks, motion control, operator interfaces, ERP integration), and drives & motion (variable frequency drives, servo drives, motors, geared motors, electrocylinders, radio remote controls). Each project is executed end-to-end from study and design through engineering, panel building, installation, commissioning, and follow-up maintenance, supported by an in-house engineering office and production department.

Product overview

Bedelec is an industrial automation company that designs and delivers electrotechnical solutions across three core service areas: Electrotechnics (transformer installation, cabling, panel construction, lighting, security systems, data/communication infrastructure, medium voltage equipment), Automation (engineering, software development for PLC/PC, industrial networks, motion control, operator interfaces, production/process control), and Drives & Motion (variable frequency drives, servo drives, DC drives, soft starters, AC/DC motors, geared motors, servomotors, electrocylinders, and radio remote controls). The company provides complete project delivery from concept through engineering, programming, panel building, installation, commissioning, and maintenance, operating as part of Lysair Group.

Direct peers

• Beckhoff Automation: PC-based and EtherCAT-driven industrial automation vendor. Its controller, drive, and I/O portfolio competes head-to-head with Bedelec's motion control and industrial network (Profinet/Ethernet) integration work.
• Pilz: Safety automation specialist with which Bedelec holds Preferred Partner status. Pilz safety controllers and services directly overlap Bedelec's safety-circuit testing and reporting practice for industrial customers.
• Rockwell Automation: Global industrial automation platform with comparable PLC, drives, motion, and systems integration offerings. Bedelec competes in the same industrial customer base with overlapping solution stacks.
• SEW-Eurodrive: Specialist in drive technology, gear motors, and mechatronic systems. Its drives, motors, and motion portfolio closely mirrors Bedelec's Drives & Motion service line for industrial customers.
• Phoenix Contact: Provider of industrial controls, connection, and automation technology. Its PLC, HMI, and network infrastructure products overlap with Bedelec's automation engineering and panel-building service.
• Wago: Manufacturer of automation and interface electronics including PLCs and I/O systems. Wago controllers and wiring solutions are commonly embedded in industrial panel builds analogous to Bedelec's deliverables.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens: Broad industrial automation incumbent whose Simatic, Sinamics, and Scalance portfolio underpins much of Bedelec's offering as its core technology partner. Overlaps substantially but as a wider automation portfolio rather than a niche integrator.
• ABB: Global industrial automation, drives, and motion incumbent. Its drives, PLCs, and robotics portfolio compete with the same industrial buyers Bedelec serves, though at much larger scale and breadth.
• Schneider Electric: Broad industrial automation and electrical distribution incumbent with Modicon PLCs, Altivar drives, and EcoStruxure platform. Competes in the same industrial customers with overlapping automation and power distribution scopes.
• Eaton: Power distribution and industrial control products manufacturer. Its switchgear, motor controls, and power management offerings overlap with Bedelec's transformer-to-machine electrotechnical installations.
