Klenk & Meder GmbH is a family-owned Austrian electrical engineering and installation contractor founded in 1968 by Herbert Klenk sen. and Helmut Meder in St. Georgen, Niederösterreich. The company provides a full spectrum of electrical services — Elektroinstallation, Leitungsbau (overhead and cable networks plus transformer stations and 20 kV medium-voltage distribution), MSR building automation using KNX/LonWorks/EIB/Dali BUS protocols, SKT security and communication technology (alarms, video surveillance, access control), Netzwerktechnik (passive and active network infrastructure with firewall/IPS/AV security packages), Photovoltaik solar PV design and installation, and ÖVE/ÖNORM-compliant maintenance and inspection — to both business customers (hotels, hospitals, government buildings, retail and production facilities) and private customers (homeowners) across Niederösterreich, Salzburg, Vienna, Hallein, and Munich.

The company makes money through project-based, quote-driven professional services contracts (large commercial and public-sector installations) combined with recurring maintenance contracts, hardware/appliance sales through the EP:Klenk & Meder retail store (~400 m²) and online shop (ep.at/klenk), 24/7 emergency service (Störungsdienst), and material wholesale at branch locations. Go-to-market is sales-led with dedicated field sales and acquisition teams (Robert Wieden heads Akquisition) operating from five locations: St. Pölten headquarters, Krems, Wien, Wieselburg, and Munich.

Klenk & Meder operates as part of the KLENK-Gruppe, which includes wholly-owned subsidiaries Maroscheck GmbH (HVAC, acquired 2001), MAITZ Haustechnik (HVAC, 2020), Lechner GmbH (Salzburg, 2021), Elektro Ebner GmbH (Hallein, 2023), and compact electric (2025).

Broad incumbents

• ABB Ltd: Global electrical equipment and automation provider serving commercial/industrial markets with electrification, motion, and process automation solutions. Overlaps with Klenk & Meder on industrial electrical infrastructure projects and switchgear (20 kV to 400 V distribution).
• VINCI Energies: Pan-European electrical contracting and infrastructure services arm of VINCI, active in building technology, energy, and industrial electrical projects. Comparable scope in Elektroinstallation and MSR/building automation, but with international footprint and broader portfolio.
• Siemens AG: Global electrical engineering and infrastructure major; comparable in MSR/building automation, power distribution, and electrical infrastructure scope, though at vastly greater scale and with proprietary hardware/software rather than pure installation services.
• SPIE GmbH: European multi-technical services provider offering electrical installation, building technology, and energy services across DACH. Comparable multi-site service model and customer verticals, though significantly larger and operating across multiple European geographies.
• Schneider Electric: Global specialist in energy management and automation with overlapping product categories in building automation, network/data security, and electrical distribution — relevant to Klenk & Meder's MSR and Netzwerktechnik service lines.

Regional players

• PORR AG: Major Austrian construction company that partnered with Klenk & Meder (via ARGE) on the €17.5M Universitätsklinikum St. Pölten project. Adjacent in the construction value chain and a frequent customer/partner, though not a direct electrical-services competitor.
• STRABAG SE: Leading European/Austrian construction group that sub-contracts electrical installation work to firms like Klenk & Meder. Strategic customer ecosystem participant in Austrian non-residential and infrastructure construction, not a direct services competitor but a key demand driver.

Direct peers

• ELIN GmbH: Austrian full-service electrical engineering and installation company with comparable scope across Elektroinstallation, MSR, and energy solutions. Direct head-to-head competitor on Austrian commercial and infrastructure projects, similar certifications and ÖVE/ÖNORM compliance posture.
• Elektro Ritzer GmbH: Austrian regional electrical contractor with comparable offerings in Elektroinstallation, Sicherheitstechnik, and PV. Direct competitor for commercial and residential electrical projects in Austrian regional markets, similar privately-held profile.

Others

• ElectronicPartner (EP:): German/Dutch consumer electronics retail consortium of which EP:Klenk & Meder is a member. Ecosystem participant rather than competitor — provides the EP retail brand, supply chain, and online platform (ep.at/klenk) used for Klenk & Meder's appliance retail business.
