What SRG Schaltanlagen does

Faradea (formerly SRG Schaltanlagen) is a European full-service manufacturer of switchgear and control-cabinet systems for energy distribution up to 6,300A and industrial automation, organized as a multi-entity group with German, Luxembourgish, and Swiss operations consolidated in 2024. The company designs, engineers, manufactures, assembles, and commissions custom switchgear and enclosure systems under one roof, integrating enclosure manufacturing (via Swiss subsidiary Swibox AG) with switchgear construction to eliminate interface losses and provide single-source accountability to enterprise customers. Core products include intelligent energy distribution systems, industrial automation cabinets (PLC, SCADA, MSR/DDC), fire-protection enclosures (E30–E90, up to 40% lighter than competitors), and patented pressure-resistant tunnel cabinet systems (+/-5 kPa and +/-10 kPa) for high-speed rail infrastructure.

The group's production footprint is split between specialty and custom manufacturing in Luxembourg and Switzerland, and cost-efficient series production in Hungary and Kosovo, with certifications spanning DIN ISO 9001, UL (North American market access), EN 15085 (rail-vehicle welding), and VKF (Swiss fire protection). It serves enterprise customers in industrial manufacturing (semiconductor, machinery, food, pharmaceutical), construction and building technology, and critical infrastructure (tunnels, hospitals, nuclear and hydroelectric power), with reference projects including NEAT base tunnels, Stuttgart 21, Pumpspeicherkraftwerk Vianden, Kernkraftwerk Beznau, and Luxembourg Airport. Revenue is generated through project-based custom quoting with multi-year contract structures; assembly services are billed at hourly rates, and binding cost estimates carry a three-week validity. The company is privately held, led by CEO Dr. Ingolf Gröning, CFO Dr. Raphael Ruess, COO Michel Aebischer, and CSO Marco Pesenti, with no disclosed venture capital or private equity backing.
