ELKOM PARTNER

What ELKOM PARTNER does

Elkom Partner AG is a Swiss engineering, planning, and consulting firm specializing in electrical planning (Elektroplanung) and building automation (Gebäudeautomation / MSRL), founded in 1996 and headquartered in Davos Platz, Switzerland. The firm is structured as a privately held Aktiengesellschaft (AG) co-owned by Urs Wenger and André Schmid, and operates from four office locations across Switzerland: Davos (headquarters, Mattastrasse 9), Chur (Gürtelstrasse 56), Bern (Stauffacherstrasse 72), and a Zürich-area presence in Wila (Kugelgasse 2). It is ISO 9001 certified and positions itself as a manufacturer-independent (neutral) engineering consultancy serving federal, cantonal, and municipal governments (Bund, Kanton, Gemeinden), investors, architects, and construction professionals across residential, commercial, public, hospitality, healthcare, and infrastructure projects.

The firm's core technology stack spans high- and low-voltage electrical systems (up to 16,000V), communication and IT infrastructure, security and evacuation systems, lighting design, photovoltaic systems, E-mobility charging, and backup power (UPS / diesel). Its distinguishing capability is the MSRL/Gebäudeautomation department, which operates as both planner and system integrator — a dual role enabling it to capture value across the full project lifecycle rather than only upstream planning. Post-completion, the firm offers service contracts including 24/7 support, remote maintenance, and on-site fault resolution, primarily for KNX-standard building automation installations. Notable reference projects include the Gotthard Basistunnel NEAT conveyor systems, the Ceneri Basistunnel, Koralmbahn ÖBB, and Stuttgart21 Fildertunnel conveyor belt system, alongside civic assets such as the Hockey Club Davos Eishalle, Bibliothek Davos, and Berufsschule Davos.

Elkom Partner AG generates revenue through project-based professional services: electrical planning, building automation design and integration, construction and installation management, expert assessments, and recurring maintenance contracts. Pricing is quote-driven per project, with multi-year engagements common in infrastructure work. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, leveraging referrals from architects, investors, and prior clients, supplemented by association-driven visibility (SIA, USIC/suisse.ing, EIT.swiss, Electrosuisse, KNX Swiss, Swissolar, GNI, SABE Schweiz). The firm explicitly emphasizes repeat business and long-term relationships rather than transactional volume, and maintains a stable, incremental expansion posture rather than a venture-scale growth trajectory.

Direct peers

• Basler & Hofmann AG: Swiss engineering consultancy active in building services, electrical engineering, and infrastructure projects. Comparable to Elkom on project-based electrical and building-automation consulting for public and private clients.
• Gruner AG: Swiss engineering firm offering building services, electrical, and building automation/controls work. Overlaps directly with Elkom's MSRL/electrical planning offerings and operates across multiple Swiss Cantons.
• ETAVIS: Swiss electrical services and engineering firm (now part of Burkhalter Group) providing electrical planning, building automation and maintenance. Directly comparable service mix and customer segments; specifically named as a peer-style service collaborator of Elkom.
• Amstein + Walthert AG: Major Swiss engineering consultancy covering building services, electrical planning, and building automation. Directly comparable to Elkom in discipline mix (Elektroplanung + MSRL) but at much larger national scale, making it the closest like-for-like Swiss peer.
• Hefti Hess Martignoni AG (HHM): Swiss engineering consultancy delivering building services, electrical and MSRL planning similar to Elkom's offering. Directly comparable boutique-style engineering peer within Switzerland.

Broad incumbents

• Honeywell Building Technologies: Global building automation and controls vendor with BMS integration services. Overlaps with Elkom's MSRL/system-integration scope at the larger end of the market.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Global provider of building automation, electrical systems, and energy management. Represents the scale competitor that Elkom's 'manufacturer-independent' positioning is designed to counter-bid against.
• ABB: Global electrification and building automation supplier with KNX-related product lines and large engineering services arm. Competes for building-automation scope where Elkom is acting as MSRL system integrator.
• Burkhalter Group: Largest Swiss electrical services group, covering Elektroplanung and installation across Switzerland. A broader incumbent competing for the same public- and enterprise-tender work as Elkom but at materially larger scale.

Regional players

• Waldner Unternehmensgruppe: Swiss-based engineering and technical services group with building services and automation exposure. Comparable in scale and Swiss-market focus, though weighted more to southern Germany/Switzerland than Elkom's Graubünden core.
