Elektro Schartner

What Elektro Schartner does

Elektro Schartner GmbH is a third-generation, family-owned electrical engineering and building technology contractor headquartered in St. Johann im Pongau, Salzburg, Austria, with a branch location in Großarl. Founded in 1952 and currently led by Managing Director DI Christoph Schartner, the company employs approximately 50 staff and operates in the Salzburg Land region. Its offerings span core electrical installation (Elektroinstallationen), smart building automation via KNX systems (Lighting, heating, blinds, windows controlled through temperature, humidity, wind, brightness, motion and time sensors), security and communication technology (fire alarms, access control, video surveillance, intercoms), LED lighting solutions, and custom in-house distribution panel (Verteilerbau) and emergency power (Notstromversorgung) manufacturing. The company has progressively expanded into energy-related product modules including photovoltaic systems, battery energy storage, EV charging solutions, ABB frequency converters and compensation systems, RSW Technik energy management software (LEO, ISO-Manager, Consumer Viewer, EKS, CKS), and ORTEA Next ENERSOLVE / ComEC voltage optimization devices.

The business model combines project-based electrical installation services, recurring service/maintenance contracts (E-checks, inspections, repairs), physical retail sales of electrical materials and lighting at two storefront locations, and energy consulting/advisory. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct field sales for enterprise projects (hotels, industrial, public infrastructure) targeting full lifecycle delivery including CAD planning and Bauüberwachung, paired with walk-in SMB/consumer retail and phone/email consultation. The customer base spans private homeowners, commercial and industrial clients, a notable concentration in the hospitality/hotel vertical across the Salzburg region (Hotel Kristall, Hotel Tauernhof, Hotel Goldener Hirsch, Die Hochkönigin, etc.), agriculture, healthcare (Krankenhaus Schwarzach), banking (Raiffeisenbank), education, and public infrastructure (Freibad Werfen, Gemeindezentrum Maishofen, Jennerbahn). The company holds long-standing technology partnerships including ABB (Drive Alliance Partner since 2004, Value Provider since 2012), KNX Association, ORTEA Next (ENERSOLVE/ComEC/PowerSines), and RSW Technik. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Schneider Electric: Global broad-line electrical distribution, industrial automation and energy management provider whose EcoStruxure platform overlaps directly with Elektro Schartner's KNX, RSW energy management and ABB-driven industrial control offerings, especially for commercial and industrial customers.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Global incumbent offering building automation, energy management and electrical infrastructure products and services; competes with Elektro Schartner for hotel, healthcare and industrial customers seeking integrated KNX-style automation and energy optimization solutions.
• VINCI Energies: Global electrical contracting and energy services division of VINCI, active across Europe in building technology, industrial electrical work and renewable integration; a credible competitive threat to Elektro Schartner's enterprise project pipeline in Austria.
• Signify (Philips Lighting): Global leader in connected LED lighting and lighting-as-a-service, including the Interact and KNX-compatible product families that overlap with Elektro Schartner's LED-Beleuchtungstechnik and KNX building automation service portfolio for commercial and hospitality projects.
• ABB Electrification: Global broad-line electrical equipment, switchgear and building automation provider; Elektro Schartner is a long-standing ABB Drive Alliance Partner and Value Provider, while ABB's full portfolio of drives, low-voltage products and KNX-compatible systems competes for the same end customers at national scale.
• SPIE SA: European technical services and electrical contracting group with extensive DACH operations providing electrical installation, building automation and energy services; competes with Elektro Schartner on regional commercial and industrial projects at materially greater scale.

Regional players

• Zumtobel Group: Austrian-headquartered professional lighting and building illumination specialist serving European commercial and hospitality projects; directly comparable to Elektro Schartner's LED lighting and hotel vertical, though Zumtobel operates at significantly larger scale and is a manufacturer rather than installer.
• Eltel Group: Nordic-headquartered electrical infrastructure and building technology contractor operating across Northern Europe; comparable business model of regional electrical installation, KNX-style building automation and energy services, though its primary geography is Northern Europe rather than Austria.

Direct peers

• Gira: German manufacturer and KNX ecosystem participant supplying switches, building automation systems and smart-home components; competes with Elektro Schartner's KNX and building-technology installation work for installers and end customers across DACH.
• Loxone Electronics: Austrian smart home and building automation specialist headquartered in Kollerschlag, with a comparable focus on KNX-style integrated lighting, shading, HVAC and energy management for residential and commercial projects across the DACH region.
