What HITZINGER Power Solutions GmbH does

HITZINGER Power Solutions GmbH is a privately held Austrian manufacturer of power generation and power conversion equipment, founded in 1946 in Linz by Dipl.-Ing. Walter Hitzinger. The company designs and builds synchronous generators, diesel gensets, frequency and voltage converters, and UPS systems under product brands including NAVY POWER, RAIL POWER, HYDRO POWER, G POWER, and C POWER, with output ranges up to 6,000 kVA for marine generators and 3,300 kVA for stationary gensets. Its products target demanding applications in naval and commercial marine (frigates, corvettes, submarines, research vessels, port shore power), rail transportation (traction and supply generators for diesel rail vehicles), small hydropower, industrial backup power (hospitals, public buildings, pharmaceutical), and airport ground support. Differentiation rests on 75+ years of accumulated electromechanical engineering know-how, a documented patent portfolio in synchronous generator design, shock- and vibration-resistant construction for military/rail duty, and long-lifecycle products supported by a refurbishment service and worldwide spare parts supply.

The business model is project-based custom engineering: products are tailored to customer specifications, sold directly through wholly-owned offices in Austria, the United Kingdom, and the United States to enterprise and government buyers (Siemens, Voith, MTU/Rolls-Royce Power Systems, SBB, ÖBB, Fraport, Vienna Airport, DHL, Ekofisk, Glock, EVN, and government fire services among disclosed references). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; standard AGB terms stage payments at 40% on order, 40% on delivery notice, and 20% on commissioning (within 30 days of invoice). Aftermarket revenue streams include refurbishment, spare parts, technical support, and maintenance, creating recurring service income on a multi-decade installed base. The company is privately held with no public listing and no disclosed institutional or private equity ownership.
