Aeschimann Elektro

What Aeschimann Elektro does

Aeschimann Elektro AG is a Swiss regional electrical contracting and planning company headquartered in Wilderswil in the Bernese Oberland, with branch offices opened in 2025 in Mürren and Wengen. The company operates in the Interlaken-Oberhasli tourism corridor and employs 20-25 staff across roles including electricians, project managers, IT specialists, apprentices, and administrative personnel. Its roots trace to 1950 (as Ritschard & Aeschimann in Matten), with the current legal entity founded on May 1, 2006 by Peter Kuhn, who serves as Geschäftsleitung and sole proprietor.

The company delivers a six-pillar service portfolio: electrical installation (high and low voltage for residential, commercial, hospitality, and industrial properties), electrical planning (telecommunications, data networks, lighting, video surveillance, and KNX automation), telecommunications and IT (VoIP via innovaphone, WLAN/hotspots, fiber optic cabling), KNX-based building automation sold in three pre-defined packages (Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau) priced CHF 2,990 to CHF 5,980, photovoltaic system design and installation, and EV charging (Wallbox) installation with billing systems for multi-unit buildings. A 24/7 Pikett emergency repair line is operated continuously. Technical capabilities are anchored in KNX certification, Panasonic Key Partner status (since 2003), innovaphone Partner Connect membership, and QS-ISO-9001 certification (since 1998).

The business is sales-led and executed through direct channels only: phone, walk-in at the three office locations, email, and a basic web presence plus a Facebook page. Pricing is quote-based for installation services, while building-automation packages are sold at fixed unit prices (excluding labor). Customer segments include private households, commercial and hospitality operators, industrial clients, and transportation and government infrastructure — with a reference list spanning Jungfraubahn AG, Schilthornbahn AG, Wengernalpbahn AG, Motorex AG, RUAG Aviation, ASTRA, and Ed. Kuhn Immobilien AG. There is no external funding, no M&A activity, and no public revenue disclosure; the company is privately held by Peter Kuhn.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• ABB Ltd: Global electrical equipment and automation giant with KNX-compatible building automation, EV charging infrastructure (ABB E-mobility), and electrical installation products. Comparable across multiple of Aeschimann's verticals but operates at vastly larger scale as an OEM/supplier rather than regional installer.
• Tesla Energy: Global EV charging and energy storage provider (Tesla Wall Connector, Powerwall, Supercharger). Comparable on the EV charging infrastructure portion of Aeschimann's e-Mobilität offering, though operates as a global OEM rather than regional installer.
• Hager Group: German/French KNX founding member and major manufacturer of building automation, distribution boards and EV charging solutions. Comparable as the underlying technology supplier Aeschimann uses for KNX installations and smart home packages.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Siemens division providing building automation, electrical infrastructure and EV charging solutions. Directly competes in the same technology categories Aeschimann deploys (building automation, electrification), but as a global OEM rather than a regional installer.
• Schneider Electric: Global leader in building automation, KNX-compatible systems, EV charging (EVlink) and energy management. Comparable technology stack to Aeschimann's KNX, EV charging and smart building offerings; serves the same end customers through integrator/installer channels.
• BKW AG: Swiss energy and infrastructure company with building solutions, electrical contracting and energy services divisions. Comparable as a much larger Swiss incumbent that provides overlapping electrical, building automation and energy services; serves similar enterprise and infrastructure customers.

Emerging players

• Loxone: Austrian/German smart home automation company competing in the same European SMB smart-home space as KNX-based offerings like Aeschimann's Eiger/Mönch/Jungfrau packages; targets the same residential and small commercial automation customer segment with an alternative ecosystem.

Direct peers

• swisspro Group: Swiss multi-disciplinary building services provider (electrical, telecom, IT, security) operating across Switzerland. Closely matches Aeschimann's combination of electrical installation, telecom/IT integration, and security offerings; larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Burkhalter Group: Switzerland's largest listed electrical contractor (SIX: BRKN), offering full-service electrical installation, building automation and telecommunications across Switzerland. Directly comparable service portfolio (electrical installation, KNX/building automation, telecom, PV, EV charging), though at significantly larger national scale.
• SolarMax: Swiss photovoltaic system provider offering PV installation and energy storage for residential and commercial customers. Directly comparable to Aeschimann's PV system offering (consultation, planning, installation, commissioning) within the same Swiss market.
