German Power

What German Power does

German Power GmbH is a privately held German electronics manufacturer founded in 1995 and headquartered in Pforzheim, Germany. The company develops and produces customized switching power supplies, with outputs up to 50kW and efficiencies above 90%, alongside smart power supply systems that integrate digital control, diagnostics, and communication via CAN, CANOpen, or EtherCAT industrial bus protocols.

The firm's core offering is bespoke power supply design and series production for industrial buyers whose requirements are not met by standard catalog products. The engagement model runs through a structured multi-stage process: consulting, electrical and mechanical feasibility analysis, design and microcontroller programming, prototyping, EMC-optimized product qualification, and compilation of safety approval documentation for EN, UL, CSA, and IEC certifications. Series production is conducted at cooperation partners with in-house final assembly, and the company also delivers calibration, repair, and maintenance services for both its own products and third-party power supplies. A separate standard product line complements the custom portfolio.

German Power serves multiple industrial verticals, with machine and plant engineering as a primary segment and energy storage (UPS and battery second-life applications), telecommunications, defense, robotics, electroplating, welding, lighting, mechanical engineering, and transportation as additional served segments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around project-based, quote-based engagements tailored to customer specifications. The company operates as an enterprise B2B specialist with direct, consultative field sales to engineering buyers, supported by a German/English bilingual corporate website.
