AVO verdelerbouw

What AVO verdelerbouw does

AVO Verdelerbouw BV is a Dutch custom panel builder founded in 2011 and headquartered in Someren, Noord-Brabant. The company designs, assembles, and supplies bespoke electrical distribution cabinets (verdeelkasten) and switchgear in the 40 A to 6300 A range for Dutch electrical installers, building contractors, and electrotechnical companies across residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Its core offering covers three premium brand platforms — Hager (Vega, Vision, Volta, Univers, Unimes series), ABB (IP41/IP65 plastic, IP43/IP55 steel, TriLine Power, CombiLine N55, fire-resistant), and Rittal (AX, VX SE, CM enclosures) — supplemented by KNX-certified building automation (domotica) integration and a Domotica partner relationship with Hager.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time project-based sales of custom-built cabinets, with on-site installation, modification, and maintenance services as secondary streams. Pricing is quote-based, calculated using brand-provided engineering and CAD software, and tailored to amperage, IP rating, and domotica complexity per project. The company claims to be the largest Hager panel builder in the Netherlands, holds Hager Paneelbouwpartner and ABB specialist certifications, is a KNX Professional member, and operates a strategic distribution collaboration with Oosterberg Elektrotechnische Groothandel's 19-branch wholesale network. As of 2021 the firm had ~15 employees and had served 250+ customers, with no external funding and no disclosed revenue.

Broad incumbents

• ABB: ABB is a global switchgear and electrical distribution giant and one of AVO's two core partners. ABB sells its own distribution cabinets (TriLine Power, CombiLine N55, Emax) and supports direct panel-builder programs that can either compete with or supply AVO. Both operate in the same end-user projects for industrial and commercial distribution.
• Siemens (Smart Infrastructure): Siemens provides low-voltage distribution systems (SIVACON, ALPHA), Sivacon/paneelbouwer partner programs, and KNX-compatible building automation under Desigo. Comparable to AVO across industrial, utility, and digital building automation offerings.
• Eaton: Eaton manufactures low-voltage switchgear, panel assemblies (xEnergy, PISA), and power management components, with active channel programs for certified panel builders in Europe. Comparable in scope of switchgear offerings that AVO assembles for industrial and commercial builds.
• Hager Group: Hager is the brand AVO assembles against as a Hager Paneelbouwpartner; Hager itself manufactures complete distribution systems (Vega, Vision, Volta, Univers) and offers its own assembly training and direct programs to large installers. They are partial partners and partial broader-market competitors in the Dutch switchgear space.
• Schneider Electric: Schneider is a major global manufacturer of low-voltage switchgear, Prisma distribution panels, and building automation/energy management systems. It sells directly and through certified panel builders in the Netherlands, intersecting with AVO on industrial, commercial, and utility projects.
• Legrand: Legrand is a major European manufacturer of electrical and digital building infrastructure, including distribution enclosures and KNX-compatible wiring devices. Its product catalog and certified panel programs overlap with AVO's Hager/ABB offering in the Dutch mid-market.

Others

• Rittal (Friedhelm Loh Group): Rittal is AVO's third core enclosure partner (AX, VX SE, CM series) but also produces enclosures and preconfigured power distribution on its own, primarily serving as an upstream supplier and adjacent solution rather than a direct paneelbouwer competitor.
• Gira Giersiepen GmbH & Co. KG: Gira is a leading German manufacturer of KNX building automation systems (sensors, actuators, IP gateways). Comparable to AVO's domotica arm because Gira's KNX hardware competes with Hager Domotica/KNX integration bundled by AVO inside distribution cabinets.
