Applitech

What Applitech does

Applitech B.V. is a Dutch manufacturer of custom low-voltage energy distribution and control panels, operating in the 63 to 7,000 ampère range. The company designs, engineers, and builds approximately 95% of its output to customer specification, with the remaining ~5% drawn from a standard catalog, and runs a proprietary Flex-Line/Flexys product platform. It has been a Siemens SIVACON partner since 2004 (S4) and since 2019 (S8), and is one of only two parties in the Netherlands licensed to build SIVACON S8 motor control centers; in 2024 it also became the only Siemens partner in the country DEHN-certified for arc flash protection. The company is headquartered in Beverwijk following a July 2025 relocation from Haarlem, and was acquired by Jeco Energies in January 2025 under a new leadership team headed by Sebastiaan van Lunteren.

The company's customer base is project-based and spans datacenters, hospitals, banks, airports, offshore platforms, greenhouse horticulture, network operators, industrial facilities, and EV charging infrastructure — all end-markets where power continuity and regulatory compliance drive specification toward proven, certified suppliers. Beyond manufacturing, Applitech operates a 12-person service organization providing installation, maintenance, and 24/7 emergency support, which creates a recurring revenue layer on top of the custom-build book and locks customers into long spare-part and retrofit relationships. Reference projects in Aruba and Ethiopia indicate some cross-border execution capability beyond the Dutch home market.

The business model is industrial project-to-project sales with a service annuity. Revenue is driven by custom panel ASPs (which rise with amperage and certification requirements), complemented by multi-year service contracts and spare-parts sales. With 53+ employees as of September 2024 and recognized as a certified training company, the firm is positioned as a mid-sized specialist rather than a commodity assembler, and the post-2024 leadership and ownership changes, combined with new facility capacity, indicate an explicit growth investment cycle.

Revenue model

1. Custom Energy Distribution System Sales: One-time sale of custom-designed, fabricated, and commissioned low voltage energy distribution and control panels. Approximately 95% of solutions are custom/special panels; 5% standard solutions. Systems range from 63 to 7,000 ampère. Customers include industrial plants, greenhouses, datacenters, hospitals, offshore platforms, airports, and utilities.
2. Service, Maintenance, and Inspection Contracts: Recurring service and maintenance contracts including 24/7 emergency service, annual inspections of generator switches (for insurance, e.g., greenhouse sector), NEN3140 inspections, network analyses, and corrective maintenance. A large team of service and maintenance professionals is deployed. Spare parts (including for Siemens distributors) are kept in stock.
3. Extension and Modification Services: On-site extensions and modifications of existing low voltage distribution panels, replacement of power circuit breakers and load switches, and flow-through of circuit breakers (primary and secondary). Provided as services to existing customer base.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• DEHN (Duitsland)coreTechnology or Integration · 1 January 2024Applitech is the only Siemens partner in the Netherlands certified by DEHN in Germany to equip SIVACON S8 systems with arc flash protection (vlamboogbeveiliging). Staff received training at DEHN in Germany. Arc flash protection safeguards personnel, investments, and installations against the sudden release of energy that can cause fire, production disruption, and downtime. DEKRA handles testing and certification of the Flex-Line transformer panels to IEC61439 standard.
• Siemens (SIVACON S8 franchise partner)coreOEM/ Whitelabel/ Licensing Partner · 1 January 2019Applitech has been a Siemens Alpha+ Partner since at least 2019 and is a franchise partner for the SIVACON S8 energy distribution system. Since April 2025, Applitech also holds the license to build Siemens S8 MCC (Motor Control Centre) distribution systems. Applitech is one of only two parties in the Netherlands licensed to build SIVACON S8. The partnership provides access to 3D drawings of busbar connections convertible to CNC machine files. Siemens S8 systems offer more capabilities in large power applications than the SIVACON S4 (which Applitech has partnered with since 2004), enabling larger projects.
• Siemens (SIVACON S4)coreOEM/ Whitelabel/ Licensing PartnerSince 2004, Applitech has been a Siemens SIVACON S4 partner — one of the first panel builders in the Netherlands to work with this system. SIVACON S4 covers distribution systems up to 4,000 ampère, primarily for industrial applications.
• Jeco EnergiescoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerIn January 2025, Applitech was acquired by Jeco Energies. This acquisition marks a new phase in Applitech's development, enabling it to further strengthen its knowledge, capacity, and market position. The collaboration with Jeco Energies allows Applitech to better serve customers with innovative and future-proof solutions in energy distribution and sustainability.

Broad incumbents

• ABB: Global broad incumbent in switchgear, low-voltage distribution, and industrial control systems. Directly comparable to Applitech's SIVACON S8 and Flex-Line offerings but at vastly larger scale, serving the same end markets (utilities, datacenters, industrial, renewables).
• Siemens: Owner of the SIVACON S4/S8/MCC product line that Applitech builds under franchise; also a broader incumbent in energy distribution and industrial automation. Comparable as the standard against which Applitech's Flex-Line and arc-flash capabilities are differentiated.
• Legrand: Global broad incumbent in electrical and digital building infrastructures, including low-voltage distribution cabinets and panel systems. Comparable to Applitech's distribution-panel business, though Legrand's center of gravity is commercial/residential versus Applitech's industrial/critical-infrastructure focus.
• Schneider Electric: Global broad incumbent in low-voltage switchgear, motor control centers, and energy distribution systems (e.g., Prisma, Okken). Competes with Applitech's custom distribution and control panels in datacenters, industrial, and infrastructure applications.
• Eaton: Broad incumbent in low-voltage switchgear, panelboards, motor control centers, and power distribution. Closely comparable to Applitech's portfolio; historically operated in the Netherlands via Holec and competes for the same data-center, utility, and industrial customers.

Regional players

• Alfen: Dutch company specializing in energy solutions, EV charging infrastructure, and energy storage systems. Comparable as a Dutch energy-transition peer operating in adjacent segments (EV charging, grid connections) that Applitech also serves through power distribution panels.

Direct peers

• Rittal: Manufacturer of enclosures, power distribution solutions, and panel-building components, including custom control and distribution cabinets. Comparable as a panel-builder ecosystem supplier and adjacent panel-builder competitor to Applitech.
• Hager Group: European manufacturer of low-voltage power distribution systems, switchgear, and panel builder solutions. Directly comparable as a custom and standard distribution-panel specialist serving industrial and commercial customers in similar ampère ranges.
