Marine and industrial system integrator with 110+ year heritage
Eekels is a 900-person system integrator serving marine, offshore, and heavy industrial customers across electrotechnical and mechanical engineering. The stack reveals deep domain specialization: EPLAN, AutoCAD, Siemens/Schneider/Rockwell controllers, PLC/SCADA/HMI, IEC standards—tools built for large-scale panel building and ship automation rather than software velocity. Active projects (modular propulsion platform, Marpower automation platform, PDM implementation) and pain points (standardizing AV solutions, production efficiency, variant management) indicate they're shifting from pure services toward standardized product platforms while managing the operational complexities of concurrent new-build and refit projects.
Eekels provides integrated technical solutions for the marine, offshore, and industrial sectors. In Marine & Offshore, they deliver complete electrotechnical installations for passenger ships, superyachts, research vessels, and offshore wind infrastructure, covering electrical propulsion, shore power systems, and ship automation. In Industry & Infrastructure, they serve energy, petrochemical, chemical, food, and water management customers with process automation and mechanical engineering work. Operating since 1908, the company functions as an independent system integrator handling the full project lifecycle: engineering, panel building, commissioning, and maintenance. They also operate Marpower, a branded division offering proprietary solutions and services.
