What Statron does
Statron AG is a Swiss-founded (1974) industrial power solutions provider specializing in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, thyristor and switched-mode battery chargers/rectifiers (BDTe, BCSe series), industrial inverters (IDS/IDT), modular DC power supply systems (SMT), industrial batteries, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in the 150 kW–2 MW range scalable to more than 100 MW. The company also holds exclusive distribution rights for ITW GSE aircraft ground power units (GPU) and pre-conditioned air (PCA) systems. Its products are designed for 20–30 year service life and are deployed across critical infrastructure applications including power generation, energy transmission and distribution, oil & gas, aviation, railway, telecom, industrial manufacturing, and large public/commercial buildings.
The company serves enterprise customers globally through 10 wholly-owned subsidiaries in Switzerland (Mägenwil HQ and Crissier), Austria, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Hungary, India, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates, supplemented by 30+ regional partners. More than 80% of revenue is generated outside Switzerland. Named enterprise customers include Zurich Airport, Dubai Airport, Fraport, Lufthansa, KLM, Swiss, Saudi Aramco, Petronas, Shell, Siemens, ABB, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Novartis, Roche, Rega, the United Nations Geneva, DEWA, ADWEA, ETH Zurich, Burj Khalifa, and the Palm Jumeirah. The company is pre-qualified with major regional oil & gas operators including ADNOC, PDO, Qatar Petroleum, and KNPC.
Statron generates revenue through three streams: one-time hardware sales (custom-configured UPS, rectifiers, inverters, modular power systems, batteries, and GPU/PCA equipment), professional services (installation, commissioning, training, spare parts, modifications), and recurring service contracts offered in BASIC, PLUS, and PREMIUM tiers with multi-year billing. Distribution is executed via direct enterprise field sales through subsidiaries plus strategic channel partnerships — exclusive cooperation with ITW GSE (GPU/PCA), exclusive representation of Saft NiCd industrial batteries for over 30 years, and Premium Partner status with Eaton since 2003. Products are highly customized with project-specific pricing, and the company invests more than 10% of revenue in R&D, holding patents including a plug-and-play cable compensation system for ground power units.

- Socomec: Socomec designs and manufactures industrial UPS, power conversion and energy storage products for critical infrastructure, with comparable focus on European utilities, rail, oil & gas and data center customers.
- Borri Group: Borri is an Italian industrial UPS specialist serving oil & gas, power generation and process industries with three-phase and modular UPS systems — directly comparable to Statron's BDTe/IDS-IDT range.
- Vertiv: Vertiv is a leading global provider of critical digital infrastructure including industrial UPS, power distribution, and battery energy storage for data centers, telecom and industrial customers — directly competing with Statron's S1300, SMT and BESS lines.
- Riello UPS: Riello UPS is an Italian-headquartered UPS manufacturer selling industrial and semi-industrial UPS, rectifiers and battery solutions across EMEA with similar engineering and channel patterns to Statron.
Broad incumbents
- Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric offers the Galaxy and APC families of industrial and data-center UPS, power distribution and energy management — a comprehensive portfolio competing directly with Statron's S1300, SMT and BESS solutions at global scale.
- ABB: ABB supplies industrial UPS, switchgear, power protection and DC backup systems for utilities, rail, oil & gas and data centers globally, competing with Statron on larger electrification tenders while also appearing on its customer reference list.
- Eaton: Eaton is both Statron's Premium Partner for smaller UPS in French-speaking Switzerland and a broad incumbent competitor across its full UPS portfolio, with far greater scale, R&D and global reach, particularly in data center and industrial power.
Emerging players
- Fluence Energy: Fluence is a pure-play utility-scale BESS integrator; an emerging peer to Statron's BESS line (150 kW to >100 MW) in renewable and grid-scale storage, though larger and software-defined rather than industrial-UPS-influenced.
