What IVT does

IVT GmbH (Innovative Versorgungstechnik GmbH) is a privately held German manufacturer founded in 1992 and headquartered in Hirschau, Bavaria. The company designs, produces, and distributes hardware for autonomous power supply and mobile lighting, marketed under two brands: the IVT master brand covering inverters, DC/DC converters, mobile power stations, solar technology, Kfz/charging technology, batteries, and workshop/building equipment; and the Staudte Hirsch sub-brand focused on professional LED work lighting, including Ex-certified luminaires.

The technical core is power conversion and energy management for off-grid and mobile environments. Products include pure sine wave inverters (Digital Sinus Wechselrichter DSW and Sinus Wechselrichter SW) that convert 12V/24V DC to AC; MPPT and MPPTplus solar charge controllers; 24V-to-12V DC/DC converters engineered for vehicle-grade vibration and shock; configurable mobile power stations; intelligent chargers for lead, calcium, and lithium batteries; and LED work lights and emergency luminaires. The company also offers OEM and White Label manufacturing services, allowing partners to sell IVT-engineered products under their own brands.

IVT operates an exclusive B2B distribution model, selling directly to resellers, large buyers, vehicle outfitters, and selected specialty retailers, while end consumers purchase through the authorized online dealer ampanet.de and local stationary dealers located via the company’s dealer locator. Customers are organized across five verticals: trades (Handwerk), industry (Industrie), vehicle equipment (Fahrzeugeinrichtung), services (Dienstleistung), and resellers (Wiederverkäufer), with the first three flagged as primary. The served geography is the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company relies on direct customer consultation, technical documentation, and quality messaging rather than broad digital marketing.
