Boosting Digital Transformation for Power Grids

primtech develops software for design & engineering, Digital Twins and intelligent data management of electrical substations. For almost three decades, we’ve helped utilities, EPCs and engineering companies deliver better substations faster, with higher quality and complete digital continuity.

primtech is more than the software we build.
It’s the people behind it.

Our team combines deep expertise in power engineering, software development and digitalization. We’re active in industry bodies like CIGRE and VDE — not just following developments, but helping shape where grid digitalization is heading.

As an owner-operated company with founders still closely involved, we think beyond the next quarter. We build solutions that last and contribute meaningfully to the grid’s digital transformation. For us, sustainable success comes before short-term gains.

For us as a company, sustainable success comes before short-term gains.

Our North Star

The energy transition is changing the way power grids are designed, built and operated. We believe digitalization is key to making that transformation possible.

That’s why we develop software and digital solutions that connect engineering, asset data and operations, helping utilities and engineering companies work with better information and more efficient digital workflows.

The purpose of our North Star, “Boosting Digital Transformation for Power Grids,” guides what we build, how we innovate and where we want to make a difference: helping the power industry become more digital, connected and ready to master the grid expansion.

Our values

We Challenge the Status Quo

We don’t follow the crowd just because it’s the easiest path. We question established ways of working, challenge assumptions and share our knowledge to help the industry move forward.v

We Believe in Real Digitalization

Good software starts with a deep understanding of the problems it solves. Our team combines hands-on substation engineering expertise with strong software and digitalization know-how.

We Build What Comes Next

We invest heavily in research and development to explore new technologies and turn promising ideas into practical solutions for the power industry.

We Connect Two Worlds

Power engineering and IT don’t always speak the same language. We bring both disciplines together to create digital solutions that work for tomorrow’s grid.

George Okello

Application Engineer

I’ve been with primtech since 2011. I mainly work at the interface between primtech users and primtech software—more specifically, in quality assurance. I’m also involved in translating texts into English. Personally, I find it very exciting to work on projects involving a product as fascinating as primtech, alongside such a diverse group of colleagues.

Thanks to the innovative projects, there are always opportunities to grow and learn new things.

I appreciate that we employees regularly have the chance to meet everyone else, especially those who usually work from home. We have a large, cozy kitchen with delicious coffee, a monthly group dinner, a summer party, and a company outing.

I also appreciate being able to organize my work schedule in a family-friendly and flexible way, the flat hierarchies, and the knowledge-sharing with my helpful colleagues. Plus, our managers are always willing to listen.

So it’s a very pleasant, constructive work atmosphere, and I really enjoy coming to work every day.

Dr. Mario Kokorus
