What Online USV Systeme does

ONLINE USV-Systeme AG is a privately held German manufacturer of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, founded in 1989 and headquartered in Grünwald near Munich. The company designs and sells four branded product lines — YUNTO Smile (400–800 VA, consumer/smart home), YUNTO (500–1,500 VA, entry professional), ZINTO (800–3,000 VA, mid-range with proprietary DPT efficiency technology), and XANTO (700 VA to 40 kVA, double-conversion VFI online UPS in Tower, 19" Rack, and three-phase variants) — together with a complete accessory ecosystem of replacement batteries, battery extensions, PDUs, bypass switches, SNMP network-management cards, relay modules, environmental sensors, and the DataWatch management software. Its core technical differentiator is DYNAMIC POWER TECHNOLOGY (DPT), claimed to deliver up to 38% more usable output power and up to 99% efficiency in Eco Mode, with XANTO models certified to the highest VFI-SS-111 safety class per IEC 62040-3. All UPS units ship with a 36-month warranty including battery and 24-hour advance replacement, with optional 60-month service packages.

The company operates a channel-led go-to-market model: hardware is sold through a multi-tier DACH distribution network — Bechtle AG, Conrad Electronic, Jacob Electronic, AVAD GmbH (exclusive Austria distributor since August 2020), swizzconnexx AG (Switzerland), the company's own USVshop24 e-commerce storefront, an Italian subsidiary (ONLINE S.r.l.), and a network of local Fachhändler. End customers are highly fragmented across consumer/home office, SMB, IT resellers and system integrators, German healthcare practices (Telematikinfrastruktur), education, industrial/building infrastructure, and data center / edge computing segments. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales plus recurring battery replacement, accessory, and extended-service revenue. The company is carbon-neutral since 2019, has no disclosed external investors or PE ownership, and is led by Hans Selzle (CEO/Vorsitzender), Andreas Bichlmeir (Vorstand, since January 2019), and André Kollmuß (Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender).
