PIXIS

What PIXIS does

Elektro-Pixis GmbH (PIXIS) is a fourth-generation, family-owned electrical engineering and installation contractor headquartered in Gerbrunn, near Würzburg, Germany. Founded in September 1923 by Dipl.-Ing. Heinrich Pixis and Franz Brod, the company has operated continuously for over 100 years and currently employs more than 80 staff including masters, technicians, skilled workers, apprentices, and electrical planners. It serves a primarily regional Würzburg-area market with a portfolio spanning electrical installation, building automation (EIB/KNX bus systems), structured data and fiber optic networks, hospital technology (DIN 0834 nurse call systems, operating room power, emergency systems), lighting technology, photovoltaic systems with storage, EV charging stations, and satellite/broadband reception systems. Notable long-standing customers include Staatliches Bauamt Würzburg, Universitätsklinikum Würzburg, Julius-Maximilians-Universität (each since the 1960s), Frankonia (since the 1970s), Diakonie Würzburg, ALDI Süd, Garmin, Bezirk Unterfranken, and Oechsner-Kratz, with project scopes reaching 11,214 sqm (Garmin European Development Center, 2024).

The company is ISO 9001-certified and combines in-house electrical planning through an affiliated engineering office with project execution and ongoing maintenance/service contracts. Revenue is generated through quote-based professional services engagements and recurring maintenance subscriptions, sold via direct field sales to commercial enterprises, healthcare and educational institutions, government agencies, real estate developers, and residential clients. Distribution is exclusively direct — services are delivered through Pixis's own workforce at client sites, with no channel partners or e-commerce. Marketing relies on the company website, Instagram (@elektro.pixis), direct contact, and an active career page for apprenticeship recruitment, including participation in the Bavarian "Fit for Work – Chance Ausbildung" vocational training alliance.

Leadership currently comprises Tim Pixis (managing director, joined 2021, fourth generation), alongside Bertram Pixis and Rolf Pixis (both managing directors since 1994). The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent entities, subsidiaries, or M&A activity, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. Recent strategic emphasis is on workforce pipeline expansion through apprenticeship programs and on extending the service portfolio into renewable energy, EV charging infrastructure, and large-scale enterprise build-outs beyond the traditional institutional client base.
