B&W TechComp Handels GmbH

What B&W TechComp Handels GmbH does

B&W TechComp Handels GmbH is an Austrian industrial-specialist firm founded in 1992 and headquartered in St. Pölten, Lower Austria. The company designs, distributes, and integrates four interrelated product lines — reactive power compensation (Blindstromkompensation), electrical power quality (Elektrische Netzqualität), energy data management (Energiedaten-Management), and uninterruptible power supply (USV-Anlagen) — serving industrial customers across Austria in sectors including steel, automotive components, chemical/pharmaceutical, food processing, tourism, printing, retail, and government/maritime. The technology portfolio is centered on a long-standing exclusive representation in Austria of KBR GmbH's hardware family (multisys system centrals, multicomp controllers, multimess meters, multisio signal acquisition, multimax load management), complemented by the company's own web-based Visual Energy 4 monitoring software with plausibility checking, multi-site cost-center allocation, and remote access via PC, tablet, or smartphone. Power-quality offerings include active harmonic filters (gridcon), passive network filters, sinus filters, and dU/dt filters for frequency converter outputs, all layered over RS485/Modbus/eBus/TCP/IP/Profibus-DP communication infrastructure.

The company operates an enterprise field-sales go-to-market with direct consultation, in-house measurement services (Messdienstleistungen), consulting, project-specific engineering, indoor training seminars, and software licensing for Visual Energy 4. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and customers are routed to direct quotation through contact channels. Distribution combines two physical offices (St. Pölten headquarters and the November 2025 Bruck an der Glocknerstraße western branch), an online shop for components (shop.b-w.at), and direct enterprise sales engineers executing measurement, installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance projects. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales, recurring software subscriptions, and professional services, including turnkey ISO 50001 certification projects and reactive-power cost-reduction programs tied to the Austrian Energieeffizienzgesetz and EN 50160 compliance.

The company is privately held; ownership is wholly concentrated in H²KP Beiteiligungs GmbH since October 2019, with a related operating subsidiary B&W Services GmbH at the same address. Leadership was refreshed in May 2025 when Peter Hackl became Managing Director, and Erich Weilguny continues as Geschäftsführer. The firm operates with approximately 7 employees and is positioned as a high-touch niche integrator rather than a scaling platform business, distinguishing itself through domain specialization, vendor representation rights, and a 30-year track record of regulatory-compliance-driven industrial deployments.
