Leukhardt Switchgear

What Leukhardt Switchgear does

Leukhardt Schaltanlagen GmbH is a German manufacturer of type-tested medium- and low-voltage switchgear, headquartered in Immendingen, Baden-Württemberg, and operating as a subsidiary of VINCI Energies under the Omexom brand. Founded in the mid-1950s, the company designs, engineers, and produces air-insulated, metal-enclosed switchgear systems across three product families: the Basis Block MC 1 / MC 3 / MC 3 S medium-voltage series (up to 24 kV, IAC AFL/AFLR arc-fault ratings, fixed-mount and withdrawable variants), the Vario Block TN / TN-S / TN-V low-voltage series (up to 690 V, 5200 A, 125 kA short-time withstand, with passive and active arc-fault protection), and the Energie Block TEB / TEB-S protective housings plus Star point housings for cast-resin transformers up to 2500 kVA / 36 kV. The portfolio is type-tested to IEC 62271-200 and IEC 61439 and is explicitly SF6-free, aligning the product set with tightening EU climate regulation.

The business sells engineered-to-order switchgear and enclosures through a B2B enterprise field-sales motion, serving four primary customer segments: industrial users, plant constructors, energy supply companies, and public-sector clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts are project-specific, and the company bundles hardware with a full services stack covering customer consultation, quotation preparation, project planning, network calculation and analysis, installation, commissioning, maintenance, and documentation and training. Geographic reach is described as worldwide, with delivery subject to country-specific standards.

The firm operates from a single production site in Immendingen with a workforce of approximately 65 employees spanning sales, project management, materials management, production, logistics, and assembly, and holds DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 (quality) and DIN EN ISO 14001:2015 (environmental) certifications. Managing directors are Andreas Glunk and Markus Popp. Ownership by VINCI Energies provides international project reach and brand association with the Omexom network, while no revenue, funding, or M&A history is publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Siemens: Major European manufacturer of medium- and low-voltage switchgear (e.g., SIMOSEC, SIVACON) serving the same industrial, energy supply, and public-sector customer base as Leukhardt, with comparable IEC-compliance credentials.
• Eaton: Diversified power management company with medium-voltage (e.g., xGIS, Power Xpert) and low-voltage switchgear product lines that compete with Leukhardt in plant construction and energy distribution applications.
• GE Vernova: Operates a major grid solutions business including type-tested medium-voltage switchgear (e.g., SecoGear, M-PACT) serving utility and industrial customers with similar IEC 62271-200 compliant systems.
• ABB: Global leader in switchgear and switchboard apparatus, with extensive medium-voltage air-insulated and gas-insulated switchgear product lines. Directly competes with Leukhardt's Basis Block and Vario Block portfolios in industrial, utility, and infrastructure applications.
• Driescher Wegberg: German Mittelstand manufacturer of medium-voltage switchgear and transformer substations with a similar customer focus on utilities, industry, and public clients; a like-for-like regional competitor to Leukhardt in the DACH market.
• Schneider Electric: Global switchgear and power distribution equipment manufacturer with products such as AirSeT and Blokset directly overlapping Leukhardt's air-insulated MV and modular LV switchgear offerings across industrial and utility customers.

Broad incumbents

• SENTRON (Siemens low-voltage brand) / Trench Group: Trench (part of Siemens Energy) manufactures instrument transformers and power-quality products relevant to Leukhardt's star-point housing and transformer enclosure offerings, and competes in adjacent substation equipment categories.

Others

• Omexom (VINCI Energies network): Sister brand within VINCI Energies specializing in energy infrastructure EPC and O&M; relevant because Leukhardt can supply switchgear into Omexom's project pipeline, making it both an internal customer and a strategic channel.
