What FEIG Electronics does

FEIG Electronics (legal entity: FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH) is a privately-held German electronics manufacturer founded in 1970 and headquartered in Weilburg-Waldhausen, Germany, with a US sales subsidiary in the Atlanta, Georgia area. The company designs, develops, and manufactures four core product families in Germany: (1) RFID and barcode identification systems including UHF long-range and mid-range readers (LRU4000, MRU400 series), HF readers, mobile handheld readers (PRH200-BW), hybrid wearable scanners (HyWEAR), reader modules, and a comprehensive antenna portfolio; (2) cVEND contactless payment terminals for EV charging, parking, vending, and public transport, with PTB calibration law certification for German EV charging compliance; (3) gate and barrier control systems including TST series door controllers with PROFINET/PROFIsafe industrial automation integration; and (4) induction loop detectors and microwave radar sensors for vehicle detection and traffic management. The technology platform spans Linux edge computing on newer readers, standardized APIs with multi-language SDKs, and compliance with sector-specific standards including EN 50155 for railway and ISO 18000-63 for UHF RFID.

The company serves enterprise and government customers across at least eight verticals, with named deployments at Swiss Federal Railways, Ankara Metro, Hong Kong Transit Authority, and Enercity AG. FEIG operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise field sales, a global sales partner network, and channel partnerships (e.g., atlasRFIDstore for mid-market reach), supported by co-development alliances with HID Global (secure element integration), ev-pay (EV charging payment software, in which FEIG holds a 25.1% equity stake), and DATA MODUL (display integration). Revenue is generated primarily through B2B hardware sales under quote-based enterprise pricing, with ancillary software/firmware licensing via SDKs and POS software partnerships. With over 500 employees globally and 50+ years of operating history, FEIG positions itself on German manufacturing quality, regulatory certifications, and domain specialization in railway and industrial RFID rather than competing on price or scale.
