Elektro Puehringer

What Elektro Puehringer does

Elektro Pühringer GmbH is a licensed electrical contractor and independent internet service provider headquartered in Arbing, Upper Austria, founded in 1959 and continuously operating for over 65 years. The company serves residential, commercial, and public-sector customers in the Upper Austria region around Perg, offering electrical installations for new builds and renovations, building automation using KNX and Loxone protocols, alarm systems, safety inspections, and maintenance services.

The company has expanded from traditional electrical contracting into a broad energy systems portfolio, including photovoltaic installations, battery storage solutions, EV charging systems, and energy management offerings. Notably, Elektro Pühringer operates its own fiber optic network — an unusual dual-vertical position for a regional electrical contractor — enabling it to deliver ultra-fast internet subscriptions and IP-TV services directly to customers within its coverage area. The company maintains core technology partnerships with KNX, Loxone, and Fronius, supplemented by integrations with Fritz!/AVM (networking), SKE (solar partner program), Würth (materials/training), and E-Werk Perg (local utility).

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time installation project fees, hardware sales (PV systems, batteries, EV chargers), recurring subscription revenue from internet and IP-TV services, and professional services for safety inspections and maintenance. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with direct outreach for project quotes, a service-oriented website, social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, and community engagement through events such as the WKO Perg education fair. The company is privately held and founder-owned since 1959, with no disclosed ownership changes, external funding rounds, or M&A activity.

Regional players

• Kabelplus: Regional cable broadband and TV provider serving parts of Austria with fiber and HFC networks. Comparable as a smaller-scale regional ISP competing in adjacent Austrian territories.
• Energie AG Oberösterreich: Integrated regional utility serving Upper Austria with electricity, gas, heating, and fiber internet/telecom services. Directly comparable because it competes head-to-head with Elektro Pühringer's fiber ISP business and its energy services portfolio within the same regional footprint.
• Salzburg AG: Multi-utility serving Salzburg with electricity, heating, and broadband/telecom services. Comparable as a regional converged energy-plus-ISP operator, though operating in a different Austrian state.

• LIWEST: Regional ISP and cable operator providing fiber internet, TV, and telephony in Upper Austria, headquartered in Linz. Closely comparable as a regional Internet/IP-TV subscriber business competing in the same Upper Austria territory.
• Kofler Elektro: Austrian regional electrical contractor offering installations, building automation, photovoltaics, and energy solutions. Comparable as a similarly-sized multi-trade Austrian electrical contractor competing in the same end markets.

Others

• Siblik Elektrik: Austrian electrical wholesale and distribution company referenced as a partner in Elektro Pühringer's network. Comparable as an ecosystem participant in the Austrian electrical contracting supply chain.
• Fronius International: Austrian-headquartered manufacturer of solar inverters, welding systems, and battery charging. Comparable as a key technology partner and as an adjacent business in the photovoltaic / energy storage value chain that Elektro Pühringer resells and installs.

Broad incumbents
