Frakta Vertriebs GmbH

What Frakta Vertriebs GmbH does

Frakta Vertriebs GmbH is a privately held German limited liability company (GmbH) operating as a sales and development company for control technology components in building services engineering. The company is headquartered in Rohrdorf, Germany, is family-run under Managing Directors Frank Schulze and Thomas Schulze, and employs between 1 and 10 people. It traces its origins to the 1991 founding of JOVENTA in Switzerland; the German sales entity was separated from the Johnson Controls group in 2010 and rebranded to its current name, retaining JOVENTA distribution rights.

The product portfolio is organized into three categories. The air technology line supplies electric actuators for small, medium and large air dampers under the JOVENTA brand, featuring universal voltage ranges, low energy consumption, robust design, easy installation and maintenance-free operation. The water technology line covers valves and dampers from DN10 to DN300 in pressure classes PN6 to PN25, including globe, mixing, diverting, balancing, shut-off and small valves (RKDN, VG, MV, KVDN series). The MSR (Measurement, Control and Regulation) category includes fire and smoke extraction control systems (SLC, FSC), VOC air quality controllers and sensors using bio-semiconductor technology, and universal programmable BACnet/Modbus integration modules (BMM series) for modern building automation. Since January 2025, the company has additionally held exclusive European distribution rights for LDM Armaturen GmbH's regulating, safety, shut-off and special valves across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Frakta generates revenue through hardware sales priced via a downloadable catalog (unit pricing, quotes on request), distributed through a network of regional technical sales representatives in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands and Poland, supplemented by direct inquiries via the company website. The end customer base is a horizontal segment of HVAC and building services contractors requiring control components for ventilation, water/heating, and fire protection applications across the DACH and Benelux markets.
