What Feller does
Feller AG is a Swiss manufacturer of residential and commercial electrical installation products headquartered in Horgen, Switzerland, founded in 1909. The company produces a comprehensive portfolio including switches, sockets, dimmers, thermostats, motion detectors, distribution cabinets, access systems, and smart building automation components. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Schneider Electric, Feller is the market leader in Switzerland for switches and sockets, supported by over a century of brand heritage and a Swiss-made just-in-time production capability at its Horgen facility.
The product range spans multiple design lines (EDIZIO.liv, EDIZIO.liv prestige, EDIZIOdue colore and elegance, STANDARDdue, Feller ELEMENT, NEVO, FLF) alongside the patented SNAPFIX fastening system that enables tool-free mounting. Its smart building platform includes Wiser by Feller (proprietary digital home automation linked to Schneider Electric's Wiser ecosystem), KNX-based building automation (KNX Secure sensors, actuators, system devices), and supports cross-vendor protocols including Matter, DALI, and zeptrion/zeptrionAIR. Feller also distributes Schneider Electric's EVlink Pro AC/DC EV charging solutions and EcoStruxure for eMobility, and offers the DispoSuite planning software and the Feller Academy training platform.
Feller operates a channel-partner go-to-market, reaching end customers exclusively through authorized electrical wholesale distributors (Grosshandel) across German-, French-, and Italian-speaking Switzerland. Certified electricians access pricing and place orders through the online catalog; architects, planners, and building owners are engaged through trade events such as ineltec and Architect@Work, the Feller Academy training program, and reference projects. Revenue is generated almost entirely through hardware sales of switches, sockets, and electrical installation devices, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Feller has won the Swiss Arc Darling Gold in Building Technology/Electrical for four consecutive years (2022–2025), the iF Design Award 2024 and Red Dot Award 2024 for SNAPFIX, and the iF Design Award 2026 for Feller ELEMENT.

Feller competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Gira Giersiepen GmbH: German manufacturer of premium switches, socket outlets, and KNX-based smart-home/building automation (Gira One, X1, HomeServer). A direct peer given overlapping premium switch portfolios, design-award positioning, and architect-led specification model.
- Hager Group: German family-owned manufacturer of wiring accessories, distribution boards, and building automation (KNX/DALI), operating brands Berker, Elcom, and Eunea. A direct peer as a European specialist competing in the same switching/socket/automation categories with a similar installer-channel model.
- Busch-Jaeger: German premium wiring-device and building-automation manufacturer (ABB subsidiary) offering switches, dimmers, and KNX-based free@home system. Directly comparable to Feller in product mix, premium German-engineering positioning, and architect/specifier-driven channel model.
- BTicino: Italian premium wiring-device and home-automation brand (Legrand group) known for design-led switches (Living, Axolute, Matix) and MyHOME automation. Comparable as a design-led European wiring-device specialist with strong architect specification similar to Feller's positioning.
- Legrand: Global leader in electrical and digital building infrastructures, manufacturing switches, sockets, dimmers, and KNX-compatible building automation under brands such as Bticino, HPM, and Arteor. Directly comparable as a premium wiring-device manufacturer with adjacent smart-building offerings and a comparable channel-driven GTM model.
- Jung ( Albrecht Jung GmbH ): Premium German manufacturer of switches, sockets, dimmers, and KNX building automation with a strong design-led portfolio (LS, A, FD ranges). Directly comparable as a design-centric wiring-device specialist targeting architects and installers in the same premium segment Feller serves.
- Merten (Schneider Electric): German Schneider-Electric-owned manufacturer of switches, sockets, and KNX-based building automation. Directly comparable given shared Schneider ownership, similar product architecture, and historic sibling positioning to Feller within the same corporate ecosystem.
Broad incumbents
- Schneider Electric: Global energy-management and automation major that is Feller AG's parent company. While it owns Feller, it independently markets overlapping wiring-device and smart-building product lines (e.g., Merten, Wiser, Acti9) across multiple geographies, making it a relevant comparable for category and channel dynamics.
- Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Division of Siemens AG covering building products, distribution cabinets, and KNX-based automation (Gamma instabus). Comparable as a broader electrical-equipment incumbent with portfolio overlap in switching/protection devices, distribution cabinets, and Swiss market presence.
- ABB Electrification: Swiss-Swedish multinational manufacturing switchgear, wiring accessories (Busch-Jaeger), and building automation across commercial and residential segments. Comparable as a broader incumbent with overlapping Swiss market presence and a residential wiring-device brand via its Busch-Jaeger subsidiary.
