About KÖHL energy
Since 1971, KÖHL energy has developed and manufactured tailor-made solutions for electrical power distribution and automation. The portfolio includes low-voltage switchgear (power and motor distribution boards, ModuVar, ModuCon) up to 6,300 A, air-insulated medium-voltage switchgear (MediPower), control and automation systems, BMS/MSR systems, as well as custom and small distribution boards for power and building services. The company has evolved from a supplier of individual technical products into an engineering firm offering systems for the entire production process – from concept development with the customer through planning, system engineering and network calculation to turn-key project execution, commissioning, maintenance and retrofit. Customers come from industries such as data centers, power generation, oil & gas, chemicals, microelectronics, industry and building services. The corporate group operates sites in Wecker (Luxembourg) and Leipzig (Germany).
