Solicomp GmbH

What Solicomp GmbH does

Solicomp GmbH is a privately held, family-owned authorized electronic component distributor headquartered in Geretsried, Bavaria, Germany. Founded in 1975 by Dipl. Ing. Michael Dacquè as a specialized distributor for power semiconductors, the company has over 50 years of operating history and is currently led by a management team of Dominik Calcagno, Josef Calcagno, and Frank Holz. The business operates with a nine-person staff and is ISO 9001:2015 certified (TÜV SÜD, valid 2023–2026) for the distribution of electronic components. Solicomp serves industrial, railway technology, and lighting customers primarily across the DACH region, with a dedicated Austrian sales team (Team Austria) covering Austria.

The company's core product portfolio is anchored by an authorized distribution relationship with ams OSRAM, spanning LEDs (general lighting, automotive, industrial, infrared, UV-C), sensors (3D, CMOS image, light, position, temperature, capacitive, medical, and wireless sensor nodes), and electromechanical components (housings, connectors, heat sinks, cable assemblies). Complementary lines include power electronics from Hitachi Energy, LEM, DSI, and inductive components via Hauber & Graf, optics from LEDiL, thermal management from Aismalibar, displays from Ampire, and cable/wiring solutions from benz. A notable differentiator is co-developed custom LED modules and arrays manufactured with partner Chips 4 Light, plus the maintenance of an inventory of discontinued LED products and obsolete power semiconductors for lifecycle support.

Solicomp operates a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market. Pricing is quote-based and tailored per customer, with no public price list. Distribution channels are direct: a phone/email/contact-form sales operation out of Geretsried (+49 8171 999 38-0) and the Austria team (+43 664 78 211 234). Marketing relies on trade show participation (PCIM Europe 2026, Power2Drive 2026), a multi-language website (DE/EN/ES/IT), and value-added services including procurement support, design consulting, and discontinued-parts sourcing. Value-added services contribute alongside hardware sales as a secondary revenue stream.
