That Christmann is not a “normal” electrician becomes
clear when you open the door to his office and
showrooms. This is because Stephan Christmann has
specialized in the installation and commissioning of smart
home applications. Intelligent door openers with finger scan,
heating and roller shutter control, light and security – even
integrating e-mobility applications, solar systems, and voice
control is possible. No off-the-shelf offers.
“My customers are mainly from the Rhine-Main area,”
explains the craft entrepreneur in conversation. “In many
cases, they have a certain amount of purchasing power,
because intelligent building technology has its price.” But
anyone who is looking to the future and also places great
importance on security and comfort is planning a house with
smart home technology. “Otherwise you’re just building an
old building,” adds Christmann whimsically.
The 46-year-old and his nine employees have committed
themselves to building automation and systems technology,
energy management, conference room technology, and
intelligent living. But how did the likeable entrepreneur come
across this very special niche? Old craftsman of the umpteenth
generation who wanted to try something new?
Christmann laughs, “No, not at all. Our company has only
been around for nine years. Before I started, I was responsible
for planning and project management in the field of energy
and building management in an industrial park for a good
19 years.”
The first time with Phoenix Contact
Stephan Christmann’s professional career began in the
classic way in the electrical trade. After his apprenticeship
and journeyman’s years, he transitioned into the industrial
environment in 2005. “This was also the first time I had to deal
with products from Phoenix Contact.” Along with his tasks
in building automation, his knowledge of suitable products
also grew.
