What comtec does

comtec GmbH, legally Gesellschaft für Communicationstechnik, is a Dortmund-based system house for professional radio and communication technology founded in 1982. The company designs, distributes, and integrates mission-critical communications for German BOS (Behörden und Organisationen mit Sicherheitsaufgaben) customers, primarily fire departments, police, rescue services, and disaster relief organizations, with a secondary industrial/commercial segment. Its geographic focus is North Rhine-Westphalia, where it operates as a Motorola Solutions BOS Partner at the highest Platinum reseller tier and as a Swissphone Systempartner, having equipped counties including Hochsauerlandkreis, Germany's largest area county.

The product portfolio spans TETRA and DMR digital radio devices from Motorola and Hytera (including ATEX/IECEx explosion-protected models), license-free PMR446 radios, the proprietary LARDIS digital alarm and communication system, Swissphone digital alerting pagers, measurement technology, fuel cells (BSZ CO-2800), telescopic masts, and mobile deployment cases. A distinct capability is Sonderfahrzeugbau (special vehicle construction) at a dedicated facility on Drehbrückenstr. in Dortmund, producing customized Einsatzleitwagen (ELW), Kommandowagen (KdoW), Mehrzweckfahrzeuge (MZF), and LNA/NEF command vehicles with integrated radio stations, navigation, special signal systems, and bespoke interior builds.

The business model combines hardware resale (radio devices, pagers, antennas), professional services (system integration, vehicle conversion, custom manufacturing), and after-sales support (repair and maintenance), with B2B quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rates. Revenue is generated through direct sales organized by product category (Objektfunk/Betriebsfunk and Sonderbau/Fahrzeugbau), manufacturer channel partnerships, and a Shopify-powered e-commerce shop (comtec-do.shop) for accessories and the LARDIS:ONE device. The company is privately held and managed by co-Managing Directors Marius Peltzer and Jan Schlüter, with no disclosed institutional investors, M&A activity, or external funding.
