The company's offering spans six core service lines: building automation (Gebäudeautomation), control cabinet construction (Schaltschrankbau), retail facility management, energy management (Energiemanagement), machine automation (Maschinenautomatisierung), and post-project service and maintenance. Underlying technologies include individual room automation systems, central energy data acquisition (Energiedatenerfassung), and the NEXOSPACE Energy Manager IoT cockpit—originally developed as QBRX and now distributed through a strategic partnership with Bosch Building Technologies. Hörburger delivers all services from a single source, covering inventory and conceptualization, implementation, and ongoing operation and maintenance. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified (recertified 26.02.2026).
Hörburger's go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales executed through its six-office German network, with quote-based pricing tailored to project scope. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services (building automation, machine automation, retail facility management), supplemented by hardware sales of control cabinets and recurring revenue from the NEXOSPACE Energy Manager software platform. The company does not disclose financial information, has no external funding or parent company, and operates exclusively in the German market.
