What DÜRR does

SPIE Dürr Austria GmbH is an Austrian specialist systems integrator headquartered in Gleisdorf, Styria, operating as a general contractor (Generalunternehmer) for tunnel and traffic technology infrastructure. The company delivers end-to-end project execution for public-sector clients, primarily the Austrian motorway operator ASFiNAG and Austrian state governments, covering electrical engineering, tunnel lighting, ventilation, measurement systems, video surveillance, public address systems, traffic control systems, and automation/control technology. Since its first major project at the Katschbergtunnel in 2001, the company has completed over 90 tunnel and traffic technology projects, including landmark deployments such as the A9 Gleinalmtunnel (one of the world's longest two-tube road tunnels) and the A2 Bettlerkreuz renovation.

The company's technical core is XAMControl, a proprietary hardware-independent industrial automation software platform developed by its wholly-owned subsidiary evon GmbH in St. Ruprecht an der Raab. XAMControl unifies visualization, PLC programming (IEC 61131-3 and high-level languages), SCADA, and redundant control in a single platform, and is paired with DIVVA, a dynamic traffic management control system. Hardware and display solutions are sourced from a second wholly-owned subsidiary, DMS - Displays & Mobility Solutions, Lda., based in Perafita, Portugal. Operations also include engineering offices in St. Ruprecht an der Raab and an international footprint spanning Germany and the United Arab Emirates.

The business model combines one-time project delivery (turnkey tunnel and traffic technology system construction), recurring maintenance and 24/7 service contracts on installed systems, and professional planning/engineering services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via public competitive tendering, supplemented by project reference-based credibility. SPIE Dürr Austria operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPIE Building Technology Automation & Traffic GmbH within the European SPIE Group, employing approximately 125 colleagues. The group has received seven consecutive years of EcoVadis Gold sustainability recognition.
