Janitza & Optec

A chance encounter on the ski lift in Laax laid the foundation for Optec and a long-standing partnership. Since 2000, we have been helping companies in Switzerland to keep an eye on their energy consumption with Janitza products. This helps to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Energy management is not only important for the environment and society, but also a decisive competitive factor.

This includes energy measurement technology, class A power quality analyzers in accordance with the EN 50160 standard, energy management systems, digital panel meters, mobile power quality analyzers and load management controllers for switching peak power and compensation systems.
