What Elektrotechnik does

Elektrotechnik AG EAGB is a Basel-based electrical engineering services firm operating since 1923 and currently organized as a subsidiary of the Burkhalter Gruppe, the nationwide Swiss electrical engineering group. The company delivers the full lifecycle of electrical contracting — installation, service and maintenance (24-hour), photovoltaic and solar systems, telematics, building automation (KNX-based, with smartphone control), and security systems (access control, video surveillance, fire alarms) — alongside in-house switchgear construction rated from 1A to 3000A. Its primary customer segments are industrial operators (with a concentration in the Basel chemical and pharmaceutical cluster), commercial and laboratory buildings, large infrastructure and public facilities, and a long tail of SMEs, commercial property, and private households.

The business operates on a project-based, quote-driven professional services model with no public pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led and field-based, supported by 24-hour emergency service, a website with project references and a blog, active apprenticeship marketing, and corporate social channels operated at the Burkhalter Gruppe level. Customer evidence includes multi-year engagements such as the Arxada AG pharmaceutical facility (2022), Pro Rheno AG water treatment EMSR build (2021–2022), Parkhaus Binningen renovation (2020–2021), Non Stop Gym fit-out (late 2022), Stücki Park commercial buildings, Swiss Aviation Software, and WBZ. Through Burkhalter's "Swiss Projects" coordination unit, EAGB participates in standardized multi-site rollouts for chain customers (e.g., the bestsmile dental network across 37 locations), extending its effective reach beyond the Basel region via sister subsidiaries while remaining operationally Basel-centric.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• VINCI Energies: One of Europe's largest electrical contracting and energy services groups with Swiss operations through brands like VINCI Facilities and Omexom. Comparable as a direct competitor for large-scale electrical installation, automation, and infrastructure projects in Switzerland and across Europe.
• Equans: Multi-technical services group (formerly Engie Solutions/Imtech) active across Switzerland in electrical installation, building automation, and industrial services. Comparable as a broad incumbent competitor for large-scale commercial, industrial, and infrastructure electrical projects that EAGB also targets.
• Legrand: Global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructure, including wiring devices, switchgear, lighting controls, and KNX-compatible building systems. Comparable as a major supplier of products that EAGB installs, and a competitor in the broader Swiss building electrification and automation market.
• ABB: Global leader in electrification, motion, and automation with deep presence in Switzerland. Comparable because ABB's switchgear, power distribution, and building automation portfolios overlap with EAGB's Schaltanlagenbau (1A-3000A) and KNX/automation offerings, although ABB operates at vastly larger scale as an equipment OEM.
• Burkhalter Gruppe: Parent company and nationwide Swiss electrical engineering group of which EAGB is a subsidiary. Provides additional capacity, multi-location project coordination, and shared resources; offers the same electrical installation, automation, and switchgear services as EAGB but across all of Switzerland.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Division of Siemens providing electrification, building automation, and security systems. Comparable because EAGB explicitly integrates Siemens Logo controllers and ClickShare/Sonos systems, and Siemens competes in the same KNX-style building automation and switchgear space across Swiss commercial and industrial projects.
• Schneider Electric: Multinational specialist in energy management and automation with strong Swiss roots. Comparable across EAGB's electrical distribution, building automation, and solar/PV integration offerings, though Schneider operates as a global product OEM and solutions provider rather than regional installer.

Direct peers

• Hager Group: European family-owned manufacturer of solutions for electrical installations in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, including switchgear, distribution boards, and building automation. Comparable because Hager supplies much of the switchgear and wiring equipment that EAGB installs, with overlapping customer base among European electrical contractors.
• SPIE: European independent leader in multi-technical electrical and mechanical services, with strong presence in Switzerland (SPIE ICS, SPIE MTS). Comparable as a direct competitor for industrial, commercial, and infrastructure electrical installations, building automation, and 24/7 service contracts.

Emerging players

• Kieback&Peter: European specialist in building automation and energy management, including KNX-based control systems for commercial and industrial buildings. Comparable as an emerging competitor in the smart-building automation space where EAGB delivers KNX integration and Siemens Logo control installations.
