What EAB Elektroanlagenbau does

EAB Elektroanlagenbau GmbH Rhein/Main is a German electrical engineering and building automation specialist headquartered in Dietzenbach, with a Frankfurt am Main branch (Niederlassung Hildebrand) and a wholly-owned subsidiary, AMPRO Medientechnik GmbH, based in Eppstein. Founded in 1921 as Eberlein Elektrotechnik, the company today employs approximately 420 people and operates as part of the Elevion Group, a diversified German electrical engineering conglomerate with around 2,500 employees across its portfolio.

EAB's service portfolio spans the full lifecycle of commercial and public-sector building electrical systems. Two core business divisions — Service, Wartung & Instandhaltung (recurring maintenance and repair) and Projektgeschäft (large-scale project execution) — are supported by six specialized departments: MSR-Technik (Measurement, Control & Regulation using Siemens Desigo, Wago, S7, BACnet, Modbus, KNX); Gebäudesystemtechnik (KNX/Smart Home); Sicherheitstechnik (VdS and DIN 14675 certified fire, voice, intrusion, and access control systems); CAD & Ingenieurplanung (AutoCAD, Revit, EPLAN P8, Navisworks); Prüf- & Messtechnik (DGUV V3 / DIN VDE compliance testing via Mebedo); and E-Mobilität (MENNEKES/wallbe certified EV charging infrastructure with OCPP backend billing). AMPRO Medientechnik GmbH adds safety announcement systems (SAA) for public buildings and stadiums. Notable customers include Fraport AG, Biotest, hospitals throughout Germany, public administrations, and Historisches Museum Frankfurt.

The company operates an enterprise field-sales model, selling quote-based projects and multi-year maintenance contracts directly to large commercial, infrastructure, healthcare, and public-sector clients primarily in the Rhein/Main region of Hesse, with nationwide reach for select accounts. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time project fees and recurring service/maintenance subscriptions. EAB holds core strategic partnerships with Siemens (Solution Partner Building Automation), TELENOT (10+ year authorized support partner), MENNEKES, wallbe, and VdS, alongside a broad training pipeline of up to 60 apprentices per year that has earned multiple Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Kreishandwerkerschaft, and Handwerksjunioren awards.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• ABB Ltd: ABB's Electrification and Smart Buildings divisions deliver global building automation, energy management, and electrical distribution systems—comparable scope to EAB's portfolio, delivered at much larger scale and through both direct and integrator channels.
• Hager Group: Family-owned German manufacturer of electrical installation systems and building automation (Berker, Elcom) based in Blieskastel. Operates in the same value chain as EAB for building automation products, with overlapping customer relationships in the German commercial electrical market.
• ENGIE Deutschland GmbH: German subsidiary of ENGIE providing multi-technical facility services, energy efficiency, and building solutions. Comparable to EAB in delivering integrated technical services to commercial, industrial, and public-sector clients in Germany, but at considerably larger scale.
• Schneider Electric SE: Global leader in energy management and building automation (EcoStruxure platform), Schneider Electric addresses the same end customers as EAB across commercial and public-sector buildings—though at vastly greater scale and through product-centric rather than regional-service delivery.
• Siemens AG (Smart Infrastructure): Siemens is both EAB's core building automation partner (DESIGO/Desigo CC) and a broad incumbent in building management systems. Their Smart Infrastructure division targets the same large commercial and public-sector customers as EAB and competes directly for integration work where customers prefer vendor-direct services.
• Bosch Building Technologies: Bosch Building Technologies provides integrated solutions in security (video surveillance, intrusion detection, access control) and building automation across Europe. Highly comparable to EAB's Sicherheitstechnik and Gebäudeautomation offerings, though at much larger scale and with a global product portfolio.

Emerging players

• Wirelane GmbH: Munich-based EV charging infrastructure provider focused on workplace, fleet, and residential charging solutions in Germany—an emerging segment where EAB has built dedicated EV charging capabilities (MENNEKES/wallbe certified, OCPP backend). Comparable as a newer-market participant, though software/platform-led rather than installation-led.

Direct peers

• Kieback&Peter GmbH & Co. KG: Founded in 1927 in Berlin, Kieback&Peter is a leading German building automation specialist delivering HVAC control systems, MSR-Technik, and facility management services—directly comparable to EAB's Gebäudesystemtechnik and MSR-Technik offerings for commercial and industrial buildings.
• SAUTER Deutschland: SAUTER is a Swiss-origin building automation specialist with significant German operations providing building management systems, MSR-Technik, and energy optimization services. Comparable to EAB in its focus on certified BMS integration and lifecycle service for commercial real estate.
• SPIE GmbH: SPIE is a major European technical building services provider with substantial German operations (SPIE Deutschland & Zentraleuropa). It delivers multi-technical services including electrical contracting, building automation, and energy solutions—closely matching EAB's project + service model across commercial and public-sector clients.
