Kieback&Peter GmbH & Co. KG is an internationally active family-owned company based in Berlin, which specializes in the development and manufacture of devices and systems for room and building technology and industrial applications and their networking in building automation and building management.[1][2]

History[edit]

The company was founded in 1927 by Erich Kieback and Paul Peter to produce automatic controllers for high-temperature furnaces. Increasingly, the acquired knowledge was applied to residential and commercial buildings. In this course, room thermostats, actuators and outdoor and supply temperature sensors were produced. Starting in the 1980s, the company increasingly developed digital control systems, followed in the following decade by the multi-circuit control processor (MRP). The focus was already on simple and intuitive operation and increased comfort.[3][4] Among the best-known buildings that have been equipped with technologies from Kieback&Peter are the Reichstag building, the Cube Berlin, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.[5]

Company structure[edit]

The company is headquartered in Berlin and operates 50 sites internationally. Most are based in Europe, with others in the Near and Middle East and the People's Republic of China.[6][7] Hardware production takes place at the Mittenwalde site in Germany.[8] A total of around 1400 people are employed.[1] In 2020, Kieback&Peter generated sales of just under 200 million euros, and the company is headed by managing directors Christoph Paul Ritzkat and Joachim Horst Laeger.[9]

Products[edit]

The product range includes more than 1300 building automation products for various requirements; the systems are flexible and scalable.[10] The product portfolio is divided into the following main areas:[11]

  • Software for energy and building management
