What EAM does

EAM Systems GmbH is an Austrian full-service provider of intelligent building technology (Mess-, Steuer- und Regeltechnik), founded in 1976 in Graz by Ing. Gerhard P. Wolf and currently managed by Wolfgang Peer and Ing. Jürgen Wolf. Operating from its Graz headquarters (Ludwig-Benedek-Gasse 2) and a secondary office (Büro Ost) in Wiener Neudorf, the company employs approximately 100-120 staff across sales, project execution, R&D, customer service, technical facility management, and administration. The firm serves enterprise and mid-market customers throughout Austria and in neighboring countries through direct enterprise field sales and a partner network.

The company's core offering is organized into five business fields: MSR system installation and integration; access control and security systems; energy monitoring and management (anchored by the proprietary Building Efficiency Assistant platform); MSR customer service and 24-hour maintenance; and technical facility management (Technische Betriebsführung). Underlying technology integrates HVAC, lighting, shading, access control, fire safety, and energy management on unified building management platforms using protocols including BACnet/IP, with proprietary add-ons including the BEA diagnostic system, a GMP/GxP-compliant clean room monitoring module, a multi-vendor building management integration layer, and a self-developed automated test environment for single-room regulation software.

EAM generates revenue through a mix of one-time project installation work, recurring managed services contracts (technical facility management, 24/7 customer service, energy monitoring subscriptions), and partner-enabled technology supply. The customer base spans healthcare (KAGes, LKH network, Medizinische Universität Graz, GL Pharma), universities (Karl-Franzens-Universität, TU Graz, Montanuniversität Leoben, WU Wien), industry (voestalpine, Andritz, Magna), finance (Raiffeisen, PwC, AXA), tourism (Therme Loipersdorf, Kempinski), real estate (MARINA TOWER Wien, Campus WU Wien, Flughafen Graz), retail (ALDI), telecom (A1 Telekom Austria), and government (BIG, WKO Steiermark). The business holds six ISO certifications (9001, 14001, 45001, 50001, 27001:2022, 41001) and multiple workplace culture awards, and is privately held by the founding Wolf family with no external investors.
