ENERGY IN INDUSTRY

What ENERGY IN INDUSTRY does

HOCHHUTH GmbH, doing business as ENERGY IN INDUSTRY, is a privately-held German industrial energy management company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Wiesbaden. The firm develops and operates a turnkey industrial energy management system that combines proprietary ENDYS hardware energy meters with the MESSDAS software platform and a suite of application-specific modules, including Chartprofiler, Checkpoint-Energy, and Forecast-Profiler. The system monitors electricity, water, steam, heat, cooling, and natural gas in real time and supports carbon footprint tracking across industrial sites.

The core offering, branded ENERGY IN INDUSTRY, is certified to ISO 50001 and ISO 50006 by Lloyd's Register, and the MESSDAS software is separately recognized by the German Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) as eligible for federal subsidies. HOCHHUTH markets its dual role as both developer and operator of the platform — operating 2,200 intelligent metering points at its own Wiesbaden homebase — as a distinctive selling point. The platform processes approximately 500 million data points and monitors 100 terawatt-hours of energy across 1,200+ deployments worldwide, with 300,000 energy meters installed and 100,000 users.

HOCHHUTH sells directly to industrial customers of all sizes and sectors through enterprise field sales, with offices in Wiesbaden, Berlin, Singapore, and Buenos Aires providing international reach. Revenue derives from a mix of ENDYS hardware sales, MESSDAS software licensing and subscriptions, and professional services (implementation, training, support), with quote-based custom pricing. The company is registered as a German GmbH with no disclosed external investors, parent entities, or public listing, and is a cooperation partner of Klimaschutz-Unternehmen e.V.
