Europten is a Vienna-headquartered infrastructure construction firm specializing in two related disciplines: high-voltage overhead power line construction (110kV to 380kV) and railway catenary (overhead contact line) systems. The company operates through four core service divisions covering Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Slovenia, serving transmission system operators (TSOs) such as TenneT, 50Hertz, TransnetBW, and Austrian Power Grid, as well as railway operators including Deutsche Bahn, ÖBB, and Swiss Federal Railways. With a lineage tracing back over 100 years to the ELIN Leitungsbau division, the current corporate entity was formed in 2006 when the overhead lines and catenary systems business was carved out of VA TECH T&D.
