What Se - Elektronic Gmbh does

SE-Elektronic GmbH is a German building automation specialist founded in 1985 and headquartered in Göppingen, Germany. The company designs and manufactures Direct Digital Control (DDC) controllers, sensors, actuators, I/O modules, gateways, and operator interfaces for HVAC and building automation, with all production based in Germany. Its core technology is a proprietary F-Bus fieldbus that transmits data and power over a single two-wire line and supports up to 32 participants per strand, complemented by a BTL-certified BACnet stack for interoperability with third-party building management systems. The portfolio also includes SE-Tools engineering software and SE-Cloud for remote monitoring and analytics.

The company serves customers across pharmaceutical manufacturing, data centers, commercial buildings, healthcare, education, hospitality, industrial facilities, and public-sector buildings, with pharmaceuticals and data centers positioned as primary verticals. Its customer base is accessed through a certified Systempartner network (with named partners including Bordin AG, Klaro MSR, and GEBAC GmbH), direct enterprise sales, and the distribution reach of its parent FläktGroup, which since 2025 has operated as a Samsung company, exposing SE-Elektronic to 60+ markets and 14 factories.

Revenue is generated through hardware product sales (DDC controllers, F-Bus modules, sensors, actuators, gateways), one-time software licenses tied to proprietary hardware, and professional services in the form of structured training programs, including BACnet certification. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around 30-day net payment terms. The company has ISO 9001 quality management and BTL BACnet certification, and is led by two Managing Directors, Lars Wegmann and Markus Häring.

Products and services

• DDC Controllers (Automation Stations) Digital control systems that capture, control, and monitor building technology. They process real-time measurement values via algorithms such as PI or PID controllers and generate control signals for valves, fans, pumps, and other actuators in HVAC and building automation applications. Sold to Systempartners and enterprise building operators across regulated and mission-critical environments.
• Room Automation Solutions for precise, reliable control of room-level parameters including temperature, humidity, air quality, and pressure conditions in buildings such as pharmaceutical clean rooms, hospitals, hotels, offices, and data centers. Used by Systempartners and facility operators who need per-room environmental control.
• F-Bus I/O Modules Input/output modules that process analog and digital signals for the F-Bus fieldbus, enabling external devices to connect to the F-Bus network. Used by Systempartners deploying SE-Elektronic DDC controllers in HVAC and building automation projects.
• F-Bus Sensors and Actuators F-Bus-capable sensors and actuators for HVAC and building automation, including room sensors (F-SRTH) capturing temperature, humidity, dew point, and enthalpy, and differential pressure sensors for precise volume flow control in ventilation ducts. Sold to Systempartners and building operators for F-Bus installations.
• Conventional Sensors and Actuators Standard sensors and actuators for conventional (non-F-Bus) building automation installations, complementing the F-Bus product line. Used where legacy or simpler wiring is required in HVAC and room automation projects.
• Control Units (Bediengeräte) Operator interfaces and control devices for building automation systems, used by facility operators and Systempartners to monitor, configure, and control DDC-based HVAC and room automation installations.
• Interfaces and Gateways Gateway solutions that translate F-Bus data to BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, and Modbus RTU, enabling seamless integration of SE-Elektronic controllers and field devices with overlying building management systems. Sold to Systempartners and enterprise integrators.
