Onoff

What Onoff does

Onoff (legal entity: onoff automation services gmbh) is a German industrial automation and IT services firm operating as a subsidiary within the SpiraTec Group, headquartered in Germany. The firm's founding-year record indicates 2016, with a stated employee range of 101–250, while the broader SpiraTec Group operates from its main headquarters in Speyer and reports over 650 employees across 40+ locations in Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, and the USA. Onoff is described in firmographic records as developing automated solutions for pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, wastewater and natural gas industries — consistent with the SpiraTec-wide focus on the process industry.

The service portfolio spans Industrial Engineering & Design (civil, process, HVAC, EPCM), Industrial Automation Services (process automation, PLC implementation, batch recipe control, fail-safe controls, SCADA, system migration, GAMP validation), Industrial IT Services (IT/OT design, MOM/MES concept and implementation, ERP and Cloud/IoT integration, production data management, serialisation, industrial IT security), Digital Transformation (Digital Assets, Digital Twin Engineering, Digital Operations, Digital Worker) and Mobile Robotics. Underlying technical components include MES/MOM platforms, SCADA implementations, PLC and batch control systems, IT/OT integration layers, serialisation/track-and-trace infrastructure, and virtual plant simulation.

Revenue is generated project-based under multi-year contracts, with pricing determined by engagement scope, complexity and duration across engineering consulting, automation implementation, technical support (Service Desk and Premium Support), and GAMP-compliant validation services. The go-to-market is sales-led direct engagement with enterprise process-industry customers across the DACH region and selected international sites, supported by a standalone careers portal, industry events, and corporate social channels. No public pricing exists; revenue model centres on professional services and managed technical support rather than product licensing. Standalone revenue and financial KPIs for Onoff as an entity separate from the wider SpiraTec Group are not disclosed in the available data.
