Leading manufacturer of building automation products based on the KNX standard

Having entered the KNX market in 2009, MDT technologies (“MDT” or "the Company") has become a leading manufacturer of smart building components, enabling the automation and control of a multitude of functions such as heating, ventilation and lighting in both residential and commercial buildings. MDT offers a full range of innovative KNX components distributed mainly through electrical wholesalers in Germany. The attractive end-customer proposition has helped MDT to continuously outgrow the market and become one of the leaders in the KNX-field.

The Company is headquartered in Engelskirchen, Germany, where it operates one manufacturing site.

The majority stake investment was acquired from MDT's founders in March 2020. The founder and Chief Executive Officer invested in MDT alongside IK Partners. In September 2026, IK completed the sale of its stake to BU Bregal Unternehmerkapital.

Quote from MDT technologies

“We would like to thank the IK team for their support and partnership over the past six years. Together, we’ve transformed MDT from a German specialist into a business with genuine European scale, without ever losing the engineering culture and customer centricity that built it. I am proud of what the team has achieved and confident BU is the right partner for the next chapter of MDT’s growth journey. We’re excited about BU’s trust in our vision and are ready to start this new phase together.”
