About Us

Since 1979 Gottwald has stood for electrical engineering, electrical installation and systems construction – reliable, efficient and at the cutting edge of technology. As a family-owned business with over 300 employees we support projects from planning through to on-time implementation and maintenance. From our headquarters in Melk as well as our locations in Parndorf and Ramsau am Dachstein, we deliver modern solutions – from electrical installation and project management to renewable energy such as photovoltaics.

History

Founded under difficult conditions

Under the name “Elektro Hürm” the company known today as “Gottwald GmbH & Co KG” was founded. The start was anything but rosy: the owners did not have a schilling to their name and had taken out a loan at 14.5% interest. The shop in Hürm had neither heating nor running water. An old chest freezer served as the office desk, and an upright freezer took the place of the filing cabinet.

What we stand for

At Gottwald, people are at the heart of what we do: We want our customers to feel just as well looked after as our employees – because for us, a good working relationship is the foundation for truly excellent work. We live our corporate culture every day: with respect, reliability and an open, appreciative approach.

Safety, progress, and forward thinking. That is why we rely on occupational safety, promote education and continuous professional development, and act consciously sustainably – so that we can create good solutions today and tomorrow.
