Atexxo Manufacturing B.V.

What Atexxo Manufacturing B.V. does

Atexxo Manufacturing B.V. is a Netherlands-based private company founded in 2010 that specializes in designing and producing explosion-proof (ATEX and IECEx certified) equipment for hazardous industrial environments. The company's core technical capability lies in converting mainstream consumer electronics — Apple iPhones and iPads, Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets — as well as industrial air conditioners (Daikin) and cordless power tools (Hikoki) into Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/22 certified devices through proprietary mechanical and electrical modifications to circuit boards, enclosures, and intrinsically safe battery systems. The product portfolio spans explosion-proof smartphones and tablets, ATEX-certified HVAC systems from 2kW wall-mount units to 33kW VRV configurations, the world's first ATEX-certified cordless hammer drill and impact driver, and supporting accessories such as passive styluses and carrying solutions. Hydrogen-ready approvals are held across the gas-group spectrum, including hydrogen environments.

The business operates on a direct-to-buyer, quote-based model through its multilingual website (10 languages) with worldwide delivery, serving enterprise customers in oil & gas (ExxonMobil, Shell, McDermott), utilities (British Gas, ENGIE), chemicals (Eastman), and adjacent hazardous-area industries such as offshore, pharmaceutical, and construction. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of converted devices plus custom conversion services for customer-supplied equipment, with ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification underpinning operations. Atexxo has delivered 50,000+ products to 60+ countries and operates from a single headquarters in Numansdorp, Netherlands, with no disclosed parent company, venture backing, or external institutional investment.

Broad incumbents

• Pepperl+Fuchs: Pepperl+Fuchs is a large, established industrial sensor and explosion-protection equipment manufacturer that owns ECOM Instruments. It competes broadly with Atexxo across hazardous-area mobile computing and process automation equipment for chemical, oil & gas, and pharmaceutical customers.
• Panasonic TOUGHBOOK: Panasonic TOUGHBOOK produces rugged laptops, tablets, and handhelds for field-service, utility, and industrial customers, with select ATEX-certified models. It competes for hazardous-area device budgets and offers a broader rugged-computing portfolio than Atexxo's ATEX-focused line.
• Getac Technology: Getac manufactures rugged computing tablets, notebooks, and handheld devices for industrial, military, and field-service applications, including some ATEX variants. While not specialized solely in explosion-proof devices, it competes for hazardous-area mobile computing budgets alongside Atexxo.

Direct peers

• BARTEC: BARTEC produces ATEX/IECEx-certified mobile devices, industrial PCs, barcode scanners, and HMI systems for hazardous industrial environments. Like Atexxo, it serves oil & gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and offshore customers with explosion-proof communication and computing hardware and is a direct competitor in the ATEX Zone 1/2 mobile device category.
• ECOM Instruments (Pepperl+Fuchs): ECOM Instruments, now part of Pepperl+Fuchs, manufactures intrinsically safe smartphones, tablets, and mobile computers for hazardous (Zone 1/2/21/22) environments. It is one of the longest-established direct competitors to Atexxo, offering explosion-proof versions of major-brand devices and dedicated hazardous-area mobile computing products.
• Extronics: Extronics is a UK-based manufacturer of ATEX/IECEx-certified mobile devices, barcode scanners, and wireless infrastructure for hazardous areas in oil & gas, chemical, and pharmaceutical facilities. It is a smaller direct competitor to Atexxo in explosion-proof phones, tablets, and worker safety devices for Zone 1/2 environments.
• i.safe MOBILE: i.safe MOBILE designs and manufactures ATEX/IECEx-certified intrinsically safe smartphones, tablets, and barcode scanners for Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/22 hazardous areas. It is the closest direct competitor to Atexxo, offering explosion-proof variants of consumer-style mobile devices for oil & gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, and mining customers.
• Aegex Technologies: Aegex Technologies manufactures intrinsically safe Windows-based tablets and IoT sensors certified for ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 hazardous locations, targeted at oil & gas, chemical, and mining enterprises. It directly competes with Atexxo in explosion-proof tablet offerings for hazardous industrial workforces.

Emerging players

• Crosscall: Crosscall manufactures ruggedized, water-resistant smartphones and tablets targeting industrial, construction, and outdoor professional users in Europe. It is an adjacent competitor for hazardous-area mobile device budgets where the use case is harsh-environment rather than strictly explosion-proof.
• Sonim Technologies: Sonim Technologies designs rugged and ultra-rugged Android smartphones for industrial and public-safety customers, with some intrinsic safety ratings. It competes with Atexxo in the rugged mobile device category, particularly for utility and field-worker users, though with less ATEX-specific depth.
