Bachner Elektro

What Bachner Elektro does

Bachner Elektro GmbH & Co. KG, operating as the Bachner Group, is a family-owned German electrical engineering and energy services company founded in 1920 in Mainburg, Bavaria. The group delivers a full-project-lifecycle portfolio — Planning & Engineering, Electrical Installation, Building Automation, Data & Network Technology, Security Technology (delivered via its wholly-owned Nedap AEOS integration subsidiary nTp), Medium Voltage Systems, Switchgear Construction, and Sustainable Energy Solutions — to industrial, commercial, healthcare, research, and infrastructure customers across Germany, Austria, the United States, and Mexico.

The group's underlying technology stack combines traditional electrical engineering capability with building automation, low-voltage and medium-voltage systems, data-center network infrastructure, and increasingly AI-assisted energy optimization through its Smart Q Energy Solutions GmbH subsidiary. Sustainable energy delivery is bundled under Bachner Green Energy GmbH, which consolidates photovoltaic, battery storage (DieEnergieFabrik DEF GmbH), and e-mobility charging offerings, while security is delivered as a certified Nedap AEOS Alliance Partner. The company runs a long-standing apprenticeship program (since 1937) training roughly 100 apprentices — over 10% of the workforce — and operates a network of more than 20 branches plus specialty subsidiaries.

Commercially, Bachner is a B2B project-based services provider generating revenue primarily through professional services (planning, installation, automation, network, and security) with additional hardware sales via Bachner Green Energy and consumer electronics retail through Bachner Home. Pricing is quote-based per project scope; contracts are typically multi-year. Distribution runs through a direct enterprise field-sales model across the branch network, with reference customers including BMW Group (Research and Innovation Center), LMU Klinikum, and the Galileo Research Campus Garching.
