What Finepower does
Finepower GmbH is a German specialist distributor and engineering services company focused on power electronics, founded in 2001 as a four-person marketing and consulting firm and now operating from Ismaning (HQ) with regional offices in Bondorf, Burgdorf, Brno (Czech design center), and Shenzhen (China sales subsidiary via Finepartner Technology). The company serves five primary verticals — electromobility, renewable energies, industrial power electronics, aerospace, and computing/consumer electronics — with a particular emphasis on third- and fourth-generation wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor technologies including Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and Gallium Nitride (GaN) eGaN FETs.
The company's dual business model combines electronic component distribution with custom engineering services. On the distribution side, Finepower is a channel partner for tier-one manufacturers including EPC, Hitachi Energy, Innoscience, MaxPower, PEC-Coil (exclusive European distributor for SHI/THI inductor series), PREMO, and Nova Semi, distributing power semiconductors, thyristors, inductors, fans, diodes, power supplies, and adapters. The engineering services portfolio spans consulting, feasibility studies, thermal and electromagnetic simulation, custom magnetic design, prototyping, and series production transfer, including specialized capabilities in 400V-to-48V and 48V-to-12V DC/DC converters for automotive applications and a 1mV-accuracy BMS solution via the Nova Semi NB1600.
Finepower generates revenue through two streams: hardware sales margins on distributed components and professional services fees for engineering and development work. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by a Field Application Engineering (FAE) team that provides technical consultation directly to customer engineering and development teams, supplemented by trade show presence (PCIM, AIRTEC, Power of Electronics), the Fine-Booster webinar series, in-house workshops, and participation in EU-funded research consortia (YESvGaN, GaN4AP, Project 3F, ECPE). The company is privately held by its three managing directors (Peter Lutter, Dieter Bundfuß, Reiko Winkler) with no institutional investment or parent company.
