What AllTec does

AllTec Automatisierungs- und Kommunikationstechnik GmbH is a privately held German Mittelstand company, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Borna, Saxony, that engineers, manufactures, and services electrical automation and communication technology for industrial plants, utility infrastructure, and technical facilities. The company employs approximately 150 people and operates primarily as a regional partner across Leipzig, Altenburger Land, and Mitteldeutschland, with demonstrated project reach into Berlin and Frankfurt on larger tenders. Its technology stack combines proprietary software — the AllControl process control system, the PIMOS process information system (acquired via the August 2025 merger with OPTUM Systemtechnik, including the BTB operating logbook, PLS process control system, mobile field app, EMON energy monitoring, and Fernwirktechnik remote data transmission modules), the AllControl Energy management system, and AllStorage — with in-house switchgear manufacturing built on a Siemens SIVACON Technology Partner license held since 2004 (covering low-voltage main distribution up to 7000A).

The company's revenue model is project-based and multi-stream: one-time electrical installation and assembly contracts, custom switchgear hardware sales (with Factory Acceptance Test), SCADA and SPS programming services, PIMOS software licensing, and recurring commissioning, 24/7 maintenance, and inspection services per DIN EN and DGUV. Pricing is custom-quoted per project and not publicly disclosed. Customers are concentrated in regulated and infrastructure-heavy verticals — water and wastewater utilities (WAZV Teltow, Landestalsperrenverwaltung Sachsen), federal waterways (WSV), district heating (envia THERM, Stadtwerke Leipzig), airports (Fraport Terminal 3), and energy/thermal processing (ARE Deutzen) — accessed via a direct enterprise field-sales motion. Quality, safety, and procurement-gate credentials (DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, SCC, Pr Qualification registration) are prerequisites to bid on most of these public-sector and KRITIS contracts, and AllTec supplements its direct sales with a small ecosystem of PIMOS system partners in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Core offering

AllTec develops, realizes, and maintains electrical automation and communication technology for industrial plants, supply infrastructure, and technical facilities. The company combines in-house switchgear manufacturing (certified Siemens SIVACON Technology Partner) with proprietary process control and energy management software (AllControl, AllControl Energy, PIMOS) and delivers complete project execution from engineering through installation, commissioning, and ongoing service.

Product overview

AllTec offers a unified platform-and-module portfolio of automation, control, and information management products and services for industrial plants, supply infrastructure, and technical facilities. The core platform is AllControl, a proprietary process control system used for visualization, monitoring, and data acquisition, which serves as the central engine for AllTec's engineering projects. AllControl Energy extends the platform with a three-tier energy management system (Monitoring, Management, Network Control System) for media-independent energy optimization and ISO 50001 compliance. The PIMOS family — acquired from OPTUM Systemtechnik (merged into AllTec in August 2025) — adds the PIMOS Prozessinformationssystem (process information system), PIMOS Betriebstagebuch (BTB, operating logbook), PIMOS Prozessleitsystem (PLS, process control system with WinErs runtime), PIMOS mobile (offline field data capture), EMON (online energy monitoring), and PIMOS Fernwirktechnik (remote data transmission via INVENTIA/BAADE telematics hardware). AllStorage rounds out the portfolio for storage automation. Beyond software, AllTec provides integrated engineering, switchgear manufacturing (certified SIVACON Technology Partner since 2004), installation and assembly, and commissioning/maintenance services — all delivered with modern engineering tools (EPLAN Electric P8, EPLAN ProPanel, ELCAD, Autodesk AutoCAD) and supporting bus/protocol integrations (Profinet, Profibus, Modbus, BACnet, IEC 60870-5-101/104, IEC61850).

Broad incumbents

• ABB Ltd: ABB competes in the same industrial and infrastructure automation space as AllTec, offering switchgear, process control, and energy management systems across utilities, water, and industry. Comparable because ABB directly addresses the same German utility and industrial customer base AllTec serves, but at a global, multi-product scale.
• Siemens AG: Siemens is the global incumbent whose SIVACON, SIMATIC, and WinCC platforms underpin AllTec's switchgear manufacturing, PLC programming, and SCADA offering. As both a core technology partner and the dominant broad-line industrial automation incumbent in Germany, Siemens is the most strategically relevant peer despite being many orders of magnitude larger.
• Schneider Electric SE: Schneider Electric offers low-voltage switchgear, process automation (EcoStruxure), and energy management software that overlaps with AllTec's AllControl, SIVACON S8 switchgear, and ACE energy management offerings. Comparable as a broad incumbent with direct overlap in building automation, energy monitoring, and industrial switchgear — though it operates at global scale.

Direct peers

• Rittal GmbH & Co. KG: Rittal is a German manufacturer of enclosures, power distribution, and climate-control solutions that supply the switchgear value chain AllTec participates in. Comparable as a broad German peer whose enclosure and distribution products are commonly integrated into AllTec-style switchgear and control cabinet builds.
• EPLAN GmbH & Co. KG: EPLAN provides the CAE/CAD platform (Electric P8, ProPanel) that AllTec uses for switchgear engineering. Comparable as a direct peer in the engineering tooling layer of switchgear and automation design, and a technology partner of AllTec.
• Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG: Weidmüller is a German industrial connectivity and automation provider whose products (terminal blocks, power supplies, controllers) compete with and complement the components AllTec uses in switchgear and automation projects. Comparable as a German Mittelstand peer in industrial electrical and automation hardware.
• Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG: Beckhoff supplies PC-based control systems and EtherCAT technology that AllTec integrates alongside its own AllControl platform. Comparable as a direct technology peer in industrial automation, with overlapping customer use cases in process control and infrastructure.
• Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co. KG: Phoenix Contact is a German automation technology provider whose PLC components, terminal blocks, and control systems are integrated into AllTec's automation projects. Comparable as a direct technology peer and existing partner; both companies serve industrial automation customers in Germany with overlapping component portfolios.
• Stöhr Group (Stöhr Schaltanlagen): Stöhr is a German switchgear manufacturer producing low- and medium-voltage switchgear similar to AllTec's SIVACON S8-based portfolio. Comparable as a direct German peer in custom switchgear manufacturing for industrial and infrastructure customers, though at a different regional focus.
• WAGO Kontakttechnik GmbH & Co. KG: WAGO is a German automation and interconnection technology manufacturer whose controllers and I/O systems are integrated into AllTec projects. Comparable as a direct peer — both are German Mittelstand-adjacent automation specialists serving industrial and infrastructure customers with overlapping product lines.
