Amrein Engineering

What Amrein Engineering does

Amrein Engineering AG is a privately held Swiss software company, headquartered in Liestal and founded in 1985, that has specialized in Microsoft SharePoint web parts since 1990. The company maintains Microsoft Certified Partner (since 1994) and Microsoft Gold Certified Partner (since 2002) status, and operates with a focused team of 15 highly specialized employees holding multiple Microsoft certifications (MCSE, MCSD, MCDBA, MCP). Its customers are organizations running SharePoint on-premises (2007 through Subscription Edition) or Office 365/SharePoint Online that need web part functionality beyond Microsoft's out-of-the-box set — vertical use cases include intranet navigation, event management, content roll-ups, charts/KPIs, media display and external data integration.

The product portfolio centers on 80+ SharePoint web parts organized into categories such as content display (Tiles, Banner Rotator, Carousel, Slideshow), collaboration (Event Manager, Exchange Calendar, Staff Directory), social/news (Twitter, Facebook Timeline, News/Blog/Document Roll-ups), data visualization (Chart, Google Chart, KPI, Bullet Graph, Map), external data (SQL/ODBC/OLE-DB), productivity (Quick Form, Quick Poll, Classifieds), and navigation (Mega Menu, Navigator, Sitemap). Technical foundation is the SharePoint Web Part framework, with modern SPFx variants for Office 365; integrations span Google Maps/Charts, Microsoft Exchange, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Yahoo Finance/Weather, RSS and Kaltura/Vimeo.

Commercially, the company runs a self-serve, product-led growth model: customers download free evaluation versions from amrein.com, select a SharePoint version, and purchase per-server perpetual license keys online ($325–$450 per web part, with an Enterprise Bundle covering all 80+ web parts plus new releases within one year of purchase). A recurring revenue layer is built from Basic, Premium and Premium Enterprise annual support contracts ($90–$725/year, auto-renewing). Modern SPFx web parts for Office 365 are distributed and supported through a Bitalus channel partnership; additional Office 365 add-ins are listed on the Microsoft AppSource marketplace. No public funding, M&A or revenue disclosures are present in the source data.

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Yaroslav Pentsarskyy / SharePoint Maven: Individual developer and consultancy shipping SharePoint Framework (SPFx) web parts and React-based modern solutions. Represents the modern SPFx-native cohort competing for AppSource placement against Amrein's Bitalus-routed modern web parts.
• Krossfarm: Polish SharePoint/M365 add-on vendor offering SPFx web parts and apps on AppSource. Overlaps with Amrein's modern web parts and targets a similar European mid-market and enterprise buyer.

Direct peers

• KWizCom: Canadian SharePoint/M365 enhancement vendor with a broad portfolio of web parts, forms, and workflow add-ons distributed via AppSource. Closely comparable in product category (SharePoint web parts/add-ons) and GTM (marketplace + channel).
• BindTuning: Provider of SharePoint and Microsoft 365 branding, themes, and web parts. Similar customer base (IT/communications teams in mid-market and enterprise) and a comparable mix of modern/responsive UI components for SharePoint Online.
• Lightning Tools: UK-based SharePoint and Microsoft 365 add-on vendor offering web parts, visualizations, and content aggregation tools. Direct overlap with Amrein's news/document/blog roll-up and content-display web parts for SharePoint on-prem and Online.

Broad incumbents

• Nintex: Workflow and process automation vendor with deep SharePoint heritage (Nintex Workflow for SharePoint). Broad incumbent in the SharePoint add-on market; competes for the same IT-pro budget that buys Amrein web parts.
• Communardo: German IT consultancy building SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Yammer intranets and add-ons. Comparable in targeting German-speaking and EMEA enterprise SharePoint customers, with a mix of consulting and packaged solutions.
• Pentalog: Large IT services firm with a SharePoint practice offering custom web parts, intranets, and migration services. Overlaps with Amrein's custom SharePoint development offering and midsized/large enterprise customer base.
• Microsoft (SharePoint/Power Platform): Owner of the SharePoint platform and Power Platform. Increasingly ships native web parts (Lists, News, Hero, Highlight) that directly substitute for Amrein functionality, and controls AppSource distribution and SPFx governance.

Others

• Rencore (Rencore Cloud): SharePoint/M365 governance and management tooling vendor. Adjacent ecosystem participant — same buyer (SharePoint admins) and platform, but focused on governance rather than front-end web parts; potential ecosystem partner or channel.
