InTec Systems

What InTec Systems does

InTec systems GmbH is a privately held German industrial distribution and system integration company headquartered in Waldkirch, Germany. Founded in 1992 from two predecessor sales representation businesses (Erhard Reck's drive technology representation and Horst Scheuble's electronic switching devices representation), the company operates as a multi-brand value-added distributor for major global manufacturers including Schneider Electric (Alliance Industrial Automation Distributor), Yaskawa (Channel Partner), Lenze (Performance Distributions Partner), WEG (Exclusive Regional Distribution Partner in Germany), ABB, PCE, Siemens, Power Electronics, EPA GmbH, Eltra, Michael Koch, Schaffner, Dold, and FTG. The company serves industrial customers, electrical installation trades, and electrical wholesalers across Germany from a single warehouse in Waldkirch, offering technical consulting, same-day shipping for orders received by 11:00 AM, commissioning support, and after-sales repair services. In September 2023, Martin Kuch was appointed as additional managing director and shareholder to formalize succession alongside long-time sole managing director and shareholder Patrice Groß.

The product portfolio centers on frequency converters (variable frequency drives) ranging from compact 0.1 kW units to industrial converters up to 2.4 MW, motor soft starters spanning 3 to 1,200 A, servo drive systems (Yaskawa Sigma-5 and Sigma-7), control technology switching devices, industrial connectors (PCE Shark and Grip series), enclosures and cabinet systems, safety/monitoring equipment, and EMC solutions including network filters, sinus filters, and du/dt filters. The company operates an in-house EMC measurement laboratory with an absorber cabin. InTec also manufactures and sells its own MP1 submersible sampling pump for groundwater wells up to 85m depth, available in 30m, 60m, or 90m cable configurations, with custom solutions including IP66-rated frequency converter assemblies for the MP1 pump in a portable L-Boxx 238 housing. The company was rebranded in 2015 from InTec Reck Scheuble GmbH to InTec systems GmbH to signal its evolution from pure trading to system solutions.

Revenue is generated through product distribution margin on hardware sales (one-time transactions) and professional services revenue from commissioning support, troubleshooting, assessment, and repair work. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed list and no standardized public rates. The go-to-market is sales-led, with field sales providing on-site consulting and direct engagement across Germany's craft, industrial, and electrical wholesale sectors. Distribution operates through direct field sales and through the electrical wholesale channel. Two acquisitions have been completed — E&S Mechatronics in May 2016 (Friedberg branch closed in 2020) and the drive technology division of SHP in 2018, the latter redirecting the Frequenzshop.de online presence to InTec. The company is privately held with no external institutional investors or parent company.

• Phoenix Contact: German market leader in industrial electrical interconnection, automation, and control technology with >20,000 employees globally. Comparable in product adjacencies (control technology, industrial connectors) but operates as a manufacturer, not a distributor.
• Farnell / element14: Global industrial and electronic components distributor with a German presence. Comparable in product categories (industrial controls, drives, automation) though structured as a high-volume catalogue and e-commerce business.
• Conrad Electronic: German broad-line electronics distributor with B2B and B2C channels, including automation and industrial control products. Comparable in covering frequency converters, contactors, and circuit breakers, though serving a broader customer base.
• RS Components (RS Pro): Large UK-headquartered industrial distributor with major German operations serving MRO, OEM, and craft customers. Comparable product categories (drives, motor controls, enclosures) and same-day shipping capability, but at a vastly larger scale.

Emerging players

• Eckerle Mess- und Regeltechnik: Small specialized German distributor for measurement and control technology. Comparable in niche industrial distribution focus and regional Mittelstand positioning, though narrower in product scope.

Direct peers

• Schukat electronic: German distributor of electronic components and power supplies with a focus on industrial customers. Comparable in size, distribution model, and German Mittelstand positioning, with overlapping supplier brands in industrial controls.
• Bürklin: Munich-based German electronics and electrical components distributor serving industrial, craft, and trade customers. Comparable in being a multi-brand industrial electrical distributor with a strong regional German footprint and similar customer mix.

Regional players
