What Electrification does

Elektramation e.K. is a German sole proprietorship (eingetragenes Einzelkaufmann) founded in 1994 and headquartered in Elze, Lower Saxony. The company plans, develops, implements, and maintains machines, switchgear, and industrial electronics, and organizes its offering around three service pillars: Industrial Automation (PLC programming, industrial robotics, electrical systems construction, safety technology, repair and maintenance), Renewable Energy (photovoltaics, heat pumps, KNX building automation), and IT & Digitalization (IT infrastructure, network technology, custom software). It serves industrial manufacturers, automotive suppliers, metal/plastic/wood processors, food and pharma operators, municipalities, and residential customers, and advertises worldwide remote maintenance and on-site commissioning capability beyond its domestic German base. The firm is wholly owned by Holger Hümpel and operates as a bootstrapped sole proprietorship with no external funding, subsidiaries, or parent company.

The firm's technology foundation rests on certified, multi-platform expertise. Elektramation programs Simatic S5/S7, Bosch, Telemechanique, and Mitsubishi PLCs, and integrates KUKA, ABB, Motoman, Stäubli/Bosch, Fanuc, and JAKA industrial robots using native program interfaces such as VKRC1, VKRC2, RAPID, and Robot Suite. Electrical documentation is performed in EPLAN P8, and safety systems are built on Siemens S7-300F and S7-400F controllers with PROFIsafe and ASIsafe communication. Building automation is delivered via KNX/EIB, IT infrastructure runs on TCP/IP with VPN-IPsec for cross-site secure connectivity, and BOS radio systems are installed as an official SELECTRIC sepura Partner. Authorized partnerships with Siemens (Safety Integrated Partner, SITRAIN), SICK AG (Product Training), and SELECTRIC underpin the firm's delivery rights for safety-critical and public-safety work.

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven pricing on multi-year service contracts, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Distribution relies on direct enterprise field sales for industrial customers and direct sales to SMB and residential customers for renewable energy systems, supplemented by official channel partnerships with SELECTRIC for BOS radio installations and Fujitsu Siemens for IT infrastructure. The firm maintains DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 quality management certification, BGFE Berufsgenossenschaft qualification, and ZH 1/597 plus EN 13849-1 inspection authorizations, which gate its ability to deliver safety-critical electrical and automation work in regulated German industrial environments. The customer base exceeds 500 clients, and the firm currently employs between 11 and 50 staff.
