What Attema does
Attema B.V. is a Dutch manufacturer of electrical installation products founded in 1964 and headquartered in Gorinchem, Netherlands, operating as a member of the German KAISER GROUP. The company designs and produces a broad portfolio of installation hardware across three categories: Installation (distribution boards, junction boxes, cable management, fire protection, radiation shielding, sound insulation), Connectivity (FttX distribution sleeves, fiber management boxes, termination units, fiber cassettes), and Construction (concrete spacers and building accessories). It sells to professional installers (electricians), construction companies, and telecom/connectivity providers, primarily in the Netherlands.
The technical foundation centers on proprietary pluggable installation systems, headlined by the Click-mate NXT modular distribution-board line and the award-winning Cable-mate cable-box system. Click-mate NXT uses pre-wired, snap-fit modules designed for fully pluggable residential and utility construction; Cable-mate offers click-on lids without screws and pre-wired variants compatible with Wieland GST18, Adels AC166, and WAGO Winsta Midi connectors. The company markets these collectively under an Installeren 2.0 methodology that it claims enables up to 3x faster installation and a 90% reduction in failure costs relative to traditional wiring. Interoperability is engineered explicitly with the major cable-tray brands (Legrand/Van Geel, Stago, Niedax, Vergokan, PUK, OBO, Hager), and specialized variants target prefab concrete (Penvast, Magvast, Kitvast), timber frame, modular housing, CLT walls, and insulated hollow ceilings. A 15-year warranty on distribution boards is positioned as a quality signal.
Attema generates revenue through hardware product sales via regional distributor networks split between Installation and Connectivity lines, supplemented by direct sales support (phone and email) for enterprise customers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is contact-based; marketing is run through the corporate website (Dutch/English), industry trade shows, newsletter/email (Mailchimp), and extensive technical documentation (brochures, datasheets, installation manuals, declaration-of-performance documents). Operating geographies are concentrated in the Netherlands within Europe, with no disclosed revenue figures, funding events, or outside ownership stakes. Recent activity (2023-2024) includes standard transparent doors on Click-mate NXT, a Plug & Play wall-socket line, new black color variants for cable boxes and conduit, and a Home Energy Management System aligned with Dutch BENG (Nearly Energy Neutral Buildings) regulations.
