About us
F&P FirstPartner Elektrotechnik GmbH was founded in Essen in 1961 and has specialised in the specific requirements of the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. Originally active as a supplier of trained electricians and electrical fitters for industrial assembly, the company soon took on these assembly tasks itself as a service provider. Today, the service portfolio includes planning and design (including with EPLAN P8 and AutoCAD), manufacturing of switchgear systems of all kinds – including IVS distribution boards, 19" technology and the modular low-voltage switchgear system MNV Bayer – as well as installation, commissioning, maintenance and testing of electrical systems. A further focus is on fire alarm and safety technology, measurement, control and automation technology as well as testing of operational systems. The company works with around 50–55 employees at locations in the Ruhr region and the Rhine corridor, especially at Chempark Leverkusen and Dormagen as well as at DEW Krefeld. Projects are executed Germany-wide in the project business and on site under framework contracts.
