What DPV Electronics Service does

DPV Elektronik-Service GmbH is a privately held German system provider for the electronics manufacturing industry, specializing in ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection solutions. Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Eppingen, Germany, the company serves industrial electronics manufacturers across the DACH region with a comprehensive portfolio organized around nine certified EPA (Electrostatic Protected Area) sub-brands covering consulting (EPAconsult), personnel grounding control (EPApro), seating (EPAchair), workwear (EPAwear), storage (EPAstore), packaging (EPApack), cleaning (EPAclean), transport (EPAmove), and gloves (EPAglove). All products are designed to comply with the DIN EN 61340-5-1 standard, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification issued by DEKRA Certification GmbH. The firm employs 51–100 people, sells exclusively to commercial (B2B) customers, and was recognized with the German Brand Award 2025 from the Rat für Formgebung.

The company operates as both a distributor of more than 60 third-party manufacturer brands — including CAB, Desco, Weller, Knipex, Blickle, and UTZ/WEZ — and as a proprietary brand owner of the EPA portfolio. Its catalog spans ESD measurement instruments (personnel test stations, continuous monitoring systems, high-resistance meters, electrostatic field meters, charged-plate monitors), PCB magazines and holders, complete workstation systems, cleanroom supplies, ESD-certified footwear and clothing, storage and packaging systems, transport equipment, soldering systems, and assembly tools. Distribution occurs primarily through a self-operated German-language B2B webshop at dpv-elektronik.de, supplemented by direct enterprise sales and eProcurement/OCI integration for automated procurement by larger accounts.

DPV's business model combines one-time product sales (ESD equipment, consumables, and accessories) with professional services revenue from ESD consulting, audits, training (including ESD Coordinator Seminars held at multiple German locations), and equipment calibration. Pricing is unit-based and transparently listed on the webshop, with free shipping within Germany on orders over €250 and VAT-exclusive pricing (19% MwSt). The company does not disclose revenue, has no parent company, has no subsidiaries, has raised no external funding, and operates exclusively as a privately held German GmbH.
